You might have some points about your 3. Overall it's not a bad bunch, a little bit inconsistent, but not bad at all. As for MaÄiulis, my point was that none of them could match MaÄiulis physicality, energy and temper. Not even Vasilopoulus who is not a bad defender off course.
As for Kleiza being just a great scorer...That's not true. He is so talented scorer that people maybe fail to see that he's one step further in rebounds than most of his competitors. Kleiza can be a tough defender and great rebounder. I can't follow how Fotsis is better rebounder? Even the stats do not show he's better than Kleiza (6,5 rebounds in 09/10 Euroleague's season while Fotsis 5.5). However, I can't see how we can compare Kleiza and Fotsis here, Kleiza is way superior player and that's end of the story. I'm pretty strict here.
Overall, the tournament will clear thing out, you right about that <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Seriously dude, why are you quoting stats for? In any match, in any place and tournament, at any given time, they don't mean Jack Shit. Especially at this level!! Your best player can play the most pathetic game, and your worst player can be a match winner. Hellas will be ready 'straight forward' with ALL positions, and covered twice over. You can bet your bottom dollar on that. As far as SG's are concerned, we have the appropriate players that are very capable of completing that task.
What if Linas Kleiza or Jonas MaÄiulis DO NOT play well? What then? Basketball isn't about 'A' player, but a whole team of players that coordinate and align with one another. Like I've said before, we'll see you in London dude!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
