    Why are Greek players Lefteris Bochorids and Georgios Papagiannis not lieted here in 2016 mock draft? I have ask this question many times here and I always get answer like, "they will be there right before the draft". But now is right before the draft and still they are not listed.

    Lefteris Bochoridis (that I have talked about many times here) is a 6-5 point guard with a 6-9 wingspan and he is athletic and he is a good shooter. This is auto draft year. He is definitely easily one of biggest guard prospects and talents in Europe. But he still never appears on mock draft list.

    Many NBA teams have had scouts watching games of his team this year in person, and the team’s practices, just to watch him personally. Why is this happen if he should not even be in the mock draft?

    Here is Bochoridis in YouTube: (as you can see he is athletic and good shooter, with good size for a PG)

    Georgios Papagiannis (7-2, 7-6 wingspan 18 year old center) also does not still appear in 2016 NBA mock draft list. Why is this?

    Papagiannis has also had scouts coming to see his games and practices this year. Also, he has had a private workout before the draft with 4 NBA teams, and then he has had a presonal pro day, where 20 other NBA teams watched him train and run drills in person. Why does any of this happen if he is not even able to make a mock draft list?

    He is already officially in 2016 NBA draft.

    Here is Papagiannis in YouTube: (is obvious that he has size, skills, and athletic ability for NBA)

    When I ask here before how come these players are not list in the mocks, I get excuses like "he will not decalre for the draft", "he will not stay in the draft", "he is not eligible yet for the draft", and "when it gets closer to the draft, he will appear on the mocks".

    Now none of these excuses make sense, as both players are for sure officially in the 2016 NBA draft. So why do they still not make even a mock draft list?

     I think he’s worked out for the Pistons as there is a profile on him on their True Blue Pistons website as a potential second round pick.

     Papagiannis is on site mock draft now at #51, but this seems way too low to me. I don’t understand how he is so low.

    Bochoridis is not even listed in top 100 board. Again, this makes no sense. A 6-5 point guard with 6-9 wingspan, that can shoot the 3, and can play good defense…this is not even good enough for top 100 list?
