We got to say another nickname for Kosta. KA = Kyle Anderson. 1 recruit I wish we landed.

People only do that stuff because they are too lazy to type out names.  LOL    Just call him Kostas.

In this country Greeks shorten Kostas to Gus. .

Seem to remember a relative of Andy Sipowicz on NYPD Blue being named something like Kostas Kostas Kostas. Name was at least close and it was 3 of the same in a row.

He hardly played in Hoop Summit but in mop up time Kostas hit a 3 & made two free throws. He seems to have a nice stroke and decent handle. At this point he does not look like a good rebounder. All in all, although tiny sample, I'm buying.

This is true. Any other Greek Johnnies here?

Paultzman, I am buying also.

6-10 kid who can put it on the floor and play like a wing.  Big upside.

+1

Kostas Antetokounmpo: 8mins, 4pts, 1/2 FG, 2/2 FT, 1reb.

Hmm.. I thought that shot he made in the corner was a 3... Must have been just over the line.

See this guy's take on Kostas

Yeah I'm still buyin too.  He legitimately can handle the ball at his height, and there is little downside to developing a player like him.  He could be a 4 year player that is real good by the end.

Comprehensive evaluation by a very respected guy;

With Simon and Clark signed has the "ship" sailed on kostas?

It seems as if its contingent on whether Livingston is signed

With the recent developments, this is looking like the trail to go (Livingston).

Williams??

Crazy to think after how we were starving for talent this time last year now we might back off a 3/4 star kid who though very raw has high upside. I still like Kostas but there just might not be room for him unless Williams cannot play anymore.

I think we have enough projects. Either kick someone out, or let it go, and bring in a player in 17-18 who can tie his own shoes.

That's not crazy. It's just relative to what the staff could do at this time last year, which was practically nothing.

I'll stick to my previous comment. The change in talent level from one year to the next where we are turning down this kid possibly is crazy. There were years in the past we would have killed to have a kid with upside like this.

I'm not sure how much upside there is here. He looks pretty awkward to me. If think if he was so promising, more schools would be after him. Why don't Marquette and Wisconsin want him?

Justin Simon and Marvin Clark Jr, we can see that those guys can really play. They will be stars here. This kid doesn't look like he'll change the game very much for a long time.
