Kosta Koufos

What chance Kosta has to play any meaningful minutes this year and what you think about him? Him and Nick Calathes from Florida are our best hopes right now. So i want some infos

P.S. Sorry for my poor English

He's looking fairly decent in preseason, he'll take over Collins minutes by mid season (which isn't much) IMO.

P.S. Your english is pretty good.

Minutes may be scarce, but not because he is doing poorly.

I think he is doing fine. Probably will be having some minutes until his 3rd or 4th year.

P.S. His English comes from babelfish.

KK (wait, we have two KK's huh :o) will probably play comparable minutes to what Brewer played as a rookie is my guess. Unless he comes in and immediately helps alot, the way Millsap did...but I just dont see it. Expect around 7-12 mpg average.

Good prospect still. He'll have a good future.

He will have a good future but I don't see him averaging more than 5 minutes per game.

He won't be anything close to an immediate contributor, barring injury of course, but the dude is skilled, big and athletic. When you combine that with being an elite "worker", you usually are going to see that player develop into, minimum, a solid NBA player. I think he has an outside shot at being a star. Could be a slightly better version of Memo, I think. Saw him making a left handed hook shot the other night for maybe the first time in his career in a real game. He's making good progress, and I think he could work his way into the rotation by the end of the season.

If he can steal Collins' signature move (drawing charges) then I would like to see Koufos play ALL of Collins' minutes.

Well Kosta is gifted scorer, and decent shot blocker. His D overall is weak, but for god sake is 10x better than Colins

I'm hoping he stole Collins spot from his pre-season play. The kid is hungry to progress. He just needs to work on his defense, but I think he's going to be the solid back up center that we've needed
