Young and inexperienced doesn't necessarily mean bad... this team will surely have less talent, but by far more fighting spirit and teamwork.[/quote]
True, remember when Serbia's current team just started out, pretty much fresh faces all around. From the last world championship they were robbed from a silver medal. That kind of geometric success rate is outlandish, but then again Serbia has a strong tradition in basketball, and Greece has proved it does too. We may see similar things for Greece progressing in tbe future <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

If someone underestimates them, they will pay for it. And don't make a mistake to have a close game vs Greece entering the last minutes of the game, cause you're gonna lose 99%

Somehow unfortunately it doesn't seem clear to me that Pat Kalathis will make the cut. From the games I've watched so far he hasn't played a great deal, and his experience amongst our other big men is less. He does have the excuse that he was called in late, but Zouros doesn't seem to be giving him much playing time.
