Gents,
We have rights Henk Norel, Loukas Mavrokefalidis, Nemanja Bjelica and Paulao Prestes. Anyone know if these guys are any good? Any updates to how they are playing?
I think Henk Norel was drafted strictly to add to Rubio's buyout at the time, so I don't expect him to ever see him.

Norel is a wasted pick. We'll never see him here. Bjelica maybe but the other guys likely won't come here anytime.

Mavrokefalidis is a strange story. Really talented. Good post moves, strong body, good post movement (off the ball)
BUT
I believe he will air ball his first free throw.
For a reason i cannot yet explain Greeks do not fit in the NBA even in their best moments. So do not even bother about Mavrokefalides.
Bjelica is considered a great talent but did not have the development everybody hoped. He is a Danillo Galinari type of player. I hope next seazon he recovers.
P.S. I would propose Sofo Schortsianitis...

Mavrokefalides had 15 and 8 in Olympiacos win (Greece) against Siena (Italy...)
The score was 89-39 and during half time it was 55-11...
I have never ever seen that in basketball...

Bjelica is the only one that realistically has a chance to ever make the team.
Prestes is a longer shot, but if he develops we could see him too.
Norel will never come over since he isn't good enough, and Loukas won't ever come over (he maybe could make the team as our 5th big, but he'd rather stay over there as a superstar).

I never have seen Biyack Biyombo, but I heard somewhere that his brother, Bismack, is a really good player.
