No, came back with a fine game in A1 and shall be back in top form for the top-16.
Let's see. I m curious to see him actin aggressively vs strong competition...

One thing I'm surprised coming from Vasilopoulos this season is his steadiness. He comes off the bench and it's rare the game that he doesn't score a three-pointer and gets some production of a penetration. But it's also as rare to see him getting really hot. He keeps his rhythm, plays some defense, rebounds, passes rather well the ball and doesn't get into much trouble, so he usually enjoys meaningful playing time.

I think he's just having a fine first season in Olympiacos.

I m really waitin for more...
But this might be enough to secure a place in the senior NT. Yannakis loves steady, defensive-wise and team-oriented players who can also produce offensively.
I dont know about his draft potential though..

Unless this draft becomes crazy deep as the last one, he should be good enough for a second round.

well, he was fine yesterday at Milano. I liked his defensive game and his rebounding aggressiveness. He still releases his treys pretty slowly.
he missed a ridiculously easy dunk though...

What about Printezis?? for me looks equal prospect with Vasilopoulos i made a post in realgm forum. What you think? how can compare them?

I havent seen much of him.
Indeed, I will prepare a profile, but he is probably a borderline prospect. A question is his height: Is he 6-10 or 6-9? Can he play decent minutes at SF, or is he closer to a PF. I think he is a taller Mancinelli, something that absolutely astonishes me as I love Stefano, but also means that has only slight NBA chances. He shoots, dribbles and runs fairly though.
More on him in the top-16 I guess..

From what i see he is very athletic to be SF, has range on his shoot up to 3, and a go to move down the block (right hook), good understanting of the game and his rotations on deffence is really fast. I think that need's time to gain more confidence and i am sure that he will show more. For his height i am not sure. I don't believe that is 6'10. I think that he is near to 204-206cm.

Something defferent do u believe that Mavrokefalidis has any chances to concider for 2nd round?

In my opinion, Printezis is much more of a power forward than Stefano Mancinelli. That's why I consider him a marginal prospect at this point.

Not really...
U can never say never of course, but his game is just so much different than what NBA asks for.

For me he is only real issue is his athletism. Has very advanced offensive game with his back, great range in his shoot, strong and good rebounder, but he didn't show any blocking skills or great deffender. Anyway i hope that can be atleast very good euroleague player
