Kosta Koufos 

Post#1 » by Greek » Sat Nov 6, 2010 11:47 am

Since i am Greek, and Kosta is a really important player for the Greek basketball i want to know how he looks until now and your thoughts in general, if he can be a player some day.

hey I'm greek also so I'm keeping a close eye on Koufos. He's not as good as bourousis, not yet at least but he's young.
He's gotten wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy stronger has a good mid range game.

When he was acquired in the Al Jefferson trade, it was hard to know whether the front office liked the guy or not. Utah forced his inclusion, because they are over the lux and didn't want to pay double on him.

It was an encouraging sign last week when the team decided to pick up the 2011-12 option on Koufos for $2.2 mil.

He's looked alright in limited minutes. I think his best case is a career back up, but considering I thought he was a scrub they just threw into the trade I've been pleasantly surprised.

Like I said in another thread, so far he's looked like the only player, aside from Darko, capable of blocking a shot down low. But I guess that's not saying much when you consider Love and Pek's post defense.

I not Greek but I had a gyro for lunch. I think Koufos has some potential if he keeps working on his shot.
