I hope he never sees the floor.
I get how Thanasis plays isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but he's still averaging 9/7.5/2 on 63% shooting in just 18 minutes. He's at least kind of effective in a chaotic sort of way.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather Frank Mason have roster spot No. 15.
There it is. He's Playoff Thon, aka "Kind of Effective Chaos". I've come around a bit on Thanasis now that I can kinda look past the whole nepotism thing. There are much worse guys to have at the end of your bench.

All he has to do is learn to amend being lost out there. Only 27 & getting his first experience with a good NBA coaching system.
Imagine what all of the hustle will do, once he's more aware & has greater NBA experience.

Maybe if his name was Denise instead of Dennis.

I had really hoped for a bigger difference in him physically. There are a lot of ifs in his development but I like his size and sense. He'll stick in the league if he can just be more decisive. He'll be a good player if, on top of that, he can improve his overall skill level. And if in addition to those two things he can improve his fitness and get quicker, he could be a starter or better, depending on the extent to which all of these things happen. I would expect that if he's going to get to that point, though, it'll probably be on his next team. Right now he looks like a guy who might not kill you if you have to play him, but obviously we have lots of better options.
