Giannis with NT Greece

[greekbuck34]

Lol. I was about to post the same pics from the presentation. I agree, he appears to be a touch shorter than the other two.

He also seems to be just a bit behind than Bourousis and Papanikolaou if we could jugde by the shadows in his hands though...

Man the height of Giannis has evolved in one of our biggest mysteries of our forum...

[Magic Giannison]

lol why the hell Giannis gave 13 to koufos, wasnt 13 his favorite number due to Diamantidis ?

"Backstage" video from the sponsor (Spalding) photoshoot.
It is in good quality, you can see close ups of Giannis at 2:02 and 2:25. He is a beast !

Does this team misfires purposly? Because out of the many shots they only made one actual fg... (Except for a follow up layup)

[Mirotic12]

There you go.
Koufos(No 13) and Bourousis(No 5) are listed as 7fters.


If you judge by their shoulders Giannis has the same height with them.
If you judge by their heads Koufos is a bit taller than Bourousis who is a bit taller than Giannis.

I guess it goes something like that.

Koufos is 2.14
Bourousis is 2.13
Giannis is 2.12

Edit: just a bonus pic.

Koufos is 2.16
Bourousis is 2.15
Sarikopoulos is 2.13

Giannis is starting to look like Bobby Simmons as he fills out in the face

Sunday first Friendly in Belgium against Belgium National Team

I will be there

If I manage I will post some pics on Monday

I am really curious to see what Kastikaris (the Coach) will do regarding the final Roster.

If he plans to play Giannis PF than this could leave Kaimakoglou out of the Roster.
Which would be a surprise. Last year in the World Cup Giannis played mainly SF.

I would like to see Giannis as SF to resolve our rebounding Problem. 3 Big Guys on the Court would be great.
Additionally Giannis as SF would create severe minsmatches against every other SF in Europe (even Galinari).

On the other Hand, Giannis is clearly the 3. tallest guy in the Team and bulked up. In my opinion he could
easy play some Minutes as a 5 against most of the Euro Centers.

But at the end of the day the most important thing is that Giannis plays 20min+

Koufos/Bourousis + Giannis + Papanikolaou would be nice for Rebounding

Koufos/Bourousis + Kaimakoglou + Giannis would be nice too

This Roster gives tons of opportunity to the Coach

Will be a very interesting Preparation and a much more interesting Tournament.
Looking forward to my trip to Zagreb/Croatia (Place of the 1. Round of the tournament).

Let's goooooooooo Greece

Thank you for the information on the time.

Do not post any links on this forum, you can get in trouble, most of the regulars know where to look if there is one.

Giannis at the starting line-up for first time at the national team.

[Nightfall]

No Tv. It is not even offered for betting under international friendlies, so it is quite unofficial. Basket is not that popular in Belgium . Not even a decent box score.
Calathes, sloukas, Antetokounmpo, Printezis, koufos starting
