    Before I asked here why Nikos Pappas was not in the mock drafts and I never got any answer that was legit, valid, or even made any sense.

    Now I have to say it is getting absurd and ridiculous that he is not in the mock drafts. He is 19 years old and just had a good season in an elite European league (Greek A1 League), was called to tryout for the senior national team of Greece (ranked #4 in the world)……

    and now he is dominating at the under-20 championship in Europe……….

    This guy is at absolute worst possible scenario the #3 player from Europe of the 1990 generation (Vesely #1, Rubio #2) and that is WORST CASE SCENARIO.

    This is craziness that he is not in the mock drafts.

      Yes. Pappas is one of the best Greek talents I have ever seen.

      Maybe not as talented as Galis, Giannakis, Papaloukas, Spanoulis, Bourousis players like that…..

      But more talent and potential I think than players like Sofo, Koufos, Nick Calathes, Fotsis, Zisis, Diamantidis and on and on all the other so-called “Greek talents”.

    I’m pretty sure Kanter is the best Euro prospect

    European Baller…i remember you

    You argued big sofos greatness to the death, even though you were told he was too out of shape to become a star in the NBA

    Did you see his Las Vegas debut?

      Anyone that uses NBA summer league to judge a strict low post center is not even worthy of having any basketball discussion with ever.

    Summer League can certainly determine if you make a roster to begin with.

    You added the fact that he tried out for a team to make him sound good.
