You can see the score here : http://www.gazzetta.gr/basketball/eurobasket/live/09-08-15/velgio-ellada and if you can read greek read some details underneath. Greece is mentioned second on the score.

He definetely started as a SF since Printezis(PF) was also in the starting squad.
Papanikolaou entered halfway in the first quarter then and one of them played as a PF..

Good stuff from Giannis but i guess the game was pretty bad for us to lose like that.
Hopefully the next games we will see more of Giannis and Spanoulis mpourousis back to roster.

Giannis needs to be getting 20 min if not leading in minutes.

greekbuck34 · Post #53 » by **greekbuck34** » Sun Aug 9, 2015 6:27 pm

Giannis was clearly the MVP of the game.
He is physically in better condition than any of his team mates.
Spanoulis and Bourousis didn't play tonight also.

edit:

Wow 10 free throws in 17 minutes.

Superstar treatment from FIBA refs..

ZeppelinPage · Post #56 » by **ZeppelinPage** » Sun Aug 9, 2015 7:46 pm

Giannis has some guns now.

I found that from another forum(interbasket).

This game was crazy.

Referees allowed a lot of contact so the game became quite physical.
It seems that Belgians did not like Koufos especially.
At some point he got hurt at his leg and had to be treated several times when he was benched.
In addition he got a scrape on his arm.

After some while the whole greek team lost their nerves and they got like 3 or 4 technicals (Coach/bench/Koufos/Calathes) and one unsportsman like foul. (Agravanis)

It was also obvious that Antetokounmpo does not like to play 4. He scored like a SF with many penetrations. In defense he played with lot of energy.

At the moment the team does not run smoothly. They made a lot of TOs, missing coordination, strategy, everything.

Team chemistry looks fine though. Everyone is motivated.

A lot of greeks in the hall. Belgium has a strong greek community and Germany is also not far away.

Interesting. I'm adamant that it's his long-term position.

Not sure that poster has seen Odom or Unibrow play.. But they could very well keep him at 3.. Still think the 4 is his best position in the future.
