Actually Vougioukas doesn't seem to be on form, you're right. I realized this as of yesterday. The only real usefulness he has is to be used as a big body to draw lots of fouls from the opposing centers. I just watched a recorded game of ours vs. Belgium, we played well for about 2.5 quarters, but near the end of the third we started to really make mistakes one after the other, Kalathis being responsible for quite a few. I've gotta hand it to the Belgians, they didn't give up when they were losing with 20. They ended up losing with a honourable difference, and if they play like this at Eurobasket, they may even bring forth some real upsets. Others better take note of this.
Papanikolaou has been blindingly impressive in these pre-tournament friendlies. He's playing like a veteran, and if he keeps it up like this he could be best young player of the Eurobasket tournament (he's still a teenager right?) ! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
