I am not sure if anyone else shares my point of view on this but given his average performance throughout the season, his below average performance during the friendlies and Greece's lack of a natural small forward I would drop Printezis and pick Papanikolaou instead. Printezis needs a break: has been playing on the top level for too long, although he is not a top level player, left Olympiacos for Malaja more as an "enemy" and less as a friend and it's like he needs/wants to prove something. Plus, he looks so rusty. At least to me.
Compared to Papanikolaou who has for sure had a really intense summer so far but is a young guy full of enthusiasm and talent. Printezis contribution at the PF position can be found at Kaimakoglou and Bourousis. When Fotsis needs to rest during the games and Kaimakoglou can't cope, Bourousis can play as a PF with Schortsianitis, Koufos or even Glyniadakis playing at C.
I am not criticizing Kazlauskas, he is probably my favourite coach anyways, I am just interested in reading other people's perspectives. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
