Seems like Koufos days as being "star prospect" is over. Not saying that he can't be solid and useful big man for Greek NT after few years, but the big time potential is not here anymore IMO. And that's not a good news for Greece at all because Koufos was expected to be one of these future key players of NT. Good news Bourousis and Big Sofo can still play for many years, I guess.

That's because he preferred NBA over PAO or OLY. They bulked him up with god knows what in a short period of time and the elegant and flexible Koufos will good mid-range shot is now history. Instead he became another big white guy who has no clue bout basketball.
Same thing happened with Rentzias when he went from Barcelona to NBA and in some months his basketball career was over.
Add to that his psychological problems and religious beliefs with him moving to Utah... the home of all religious freaks of the world and you got yourself a complete disaster picture.
I'm not worried though... plenty of big guys in Greece.
Anyway, it is wrong for Greece NT to waste even effort to type about Koufos. He just isn't worth it.
