Pre-Olympic tournament 2012

[ZEUS]

It's not only about the cold hard stats, it's also about the players supporting say, what has been the subject, Fotsis and Kleiza. Comparing stats between the two players is also relative to how they are instructed to work on the court, according to the team's needs. Unless we see them playing against each other and can pick out the stats from such match-ups, saying which player is better is also a lot down to bias. Both players are successful, albeit Fotsis has been more successful than Kleiza in terms of titles won, but that doesn't take away from Kleiza's value either, because basketball is 5 vs. 5, and not 1 vs. 5.

As far as Mavrokefalidis and Vasilopoulos are concerned, they are just burnt cards. Vasiliadis didn't prove either that he was really good enough and dependable for the NT, when we really needed points from the 3, he just came up short. We will have to look for more viable options on the 4 for us, we'll definitely have Sofo back to muscle up at center, this takes pressure off of Bouroussis, but still he isn't the world's best defender at 4, his lack of strength and size is a detriment to him in this respect. Unfortunately Mavroidis hasn't proved he is a dependable player for the NT either, he just couldn't adapt to the level of play that was expected of him, he blundered quickly, and got benched fast. The 4 is a difficult spot for us to cover, that mega douche-bag Mavrokefalidis could have helped us a good deal but he went and fucked it all up.
