Greek Reports: Bucks interested in Papagiannis

I look forward to Papagiannis regaling us with stories of when he went to Las Vegas with his family and proceeded to win four cars.

We totally need to start calling this guy by his stage name if he gets drafted here:

Just crazy for a "weak" draft how many guys that have reasonable starter ceilings that are mocked in early 2nd round. Really glad we have two of them this year. Papagiannis, Maker, Onuaku, Cornelie, Cordinir, Zimmerman, even Qi.

I guess I don't understand why we are taking Hammond's word about trading away picks as gospel. 1. It's more likely a trade doesn't happen than a trade happening under most circumstances. 2. Everything this time of year is just jibberish and shouldn't be trusted. 3. Is he the one even to make that call?

We already have Giannis. Might as well get his papa too.

Trade #10 and #36 for #12 and #21 with Atlanta, Draft Baldwin and Zizic or Papagiannis, Wrap it!

Papagiannis is going to be that near 2nd round euro big that seeps through the cracks in every draft. Dude can shoot and moves insanely well for a 7+ footer, those are some tools that we can surely develop. If we acquire a late 1st he should be the pick

This seems like the type of guy that Clippers pick could have easily fetched if we weren't in love with renting Vasquez last season.

If they like him, target him with a move up, don't hope he falls into your lap.

I think Onuaku will be a 2nd round steal. PapaG sounds very fascinating, but I want to keep the 2nd rounders and use them on Onuaku and Kay Felder.

In next year's draft? Just to be clear (again): The Clippers pick was a 2017 pick. Considered by many 'experts' to be an even better draft. Jason Kidd FTW!

It could be packaged to move up and take a guy we like. Or just take a guy next year. Either would be better than what we got out of Greivis Vasquez.

Whoever said he moves incredibly well is overstating it quite a bit. I saw him play a few years ago when people were whispering about him but after watching Diamond Stone simply destroyed his soul I just laughed about the whispers. Unless he completely transformed his feet he doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA and I want to part of him at 36/38 much less trading up to get him. He is a plodder in a game that is increasingly picking on guys like that.

This video is over 2 years old, looks to be nothing new for him. There is no doubt he has some special touch for a man his size, looks like he could easily shoot 70%+ from the FT line as well

Why is he shooting up draft boards and now projected in the 20's by some?

If you want him, take on Jeremy Lamb's contract to get the #22 pick and pick him there. I think Jeremy Lamb would definitely have a useful position on this roster as well.
