Re: Blazers Sign Georgios Papagiannis For Remainder Of Season

Zach Edey is going to be a guy that NBA teams can trust to contribute in a big way on offense, it'll just be extremely matchup dependent whether he can stay on the floor on defense.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Has Been Waiting For This

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is playing meaningful playoff minutes as a rookie, showing that craft has perhaps become an underrated quality in the draft, compared to more traditional traits such as wingspan, athleticism or shooting.

Panic! In The NBA Playoffs

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

The Portland Trail Blazers have signed center Georgios Papagiannis to a contract through the 2018-19 season.

Originally signed to a 10-day contract on March 8, Papagiannis holds career averages of 4.2 points (51.0% FG, 85.7% FT), 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 12.4 minutes in 38 games over two seasons with the Sacramento Kings.

Selected by Phoenix with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft out of Greece, Papagiannis, 20, was dealt to Sacramento in a draft day trade.

Big body, looks like the Kings screwed up again.

Thanks for the honesty.

The most shocking thing I found about this is he’s only 20 years old. I assumed he was 22-23.

Why were the Kings so quick to give up on a 20 year old who they invested a high pick on and has played well in the D league? Was it not obvious when they drafted him that he would be somewhat of a project?
