If Childress comes back to the NBA, Olympiakos will find a way to pay Printezis. He's a solid player for them. Kind of plays like Antawn Jamison with his quick hooks with either hand in the paint. Raptors TV runs their games now and then.

A jumpshot you can develop. I prefer guys to not be great shooters to begin with - they'll rely on it forever. It's much harder to develop a slashing mentality after years of being a shooter (see Raptors, Toronto). Jamison was barely a 3 point threat in college, but he was deadly in the paint. He still is. But he can take it outside also.

The biggest thing about Printezis is something you can't teach - he has a great motor.

he's no gunner but he's shooting a great percentage from 3.

he's an efficient rotation player for one of the best teams in europe. he's got pretty solid athleticism and size. he's a player.

not sure about next season, as delfino needs to be brought back first off, but it's nice to have this guy's NBA rights.

I would agree that his potential is probably a hustle guy off the bench. But he does have NBA level athleticism and great hustle, and he looks like he was a good choice with that late pick.

Return to Toronto Raptors
