Best of luck to Georgios, and I hope he looks back fondly on his year at Iowa State. Congrats on having a high paying job in his home country.
sincere question, how does a guy go pro when he can't get playing time on his college team?
I loved the kid but it appears he left us hanging for months. I don't live in a consequence- free world like some people. in the working world you're asked to not come back
Projects have a chance of being productive and playing on a national team is working on your game. The only certain thing is that Fred wouldn't have signed a kid that had zero% chance of contributing. Those are the comments that bother me.CFH took him in as a project. Turns out he was a huge project. If you need to work on your game as much as he did you need to spend the summer on campus working on it. He chose not to.
Not sure why people are so sure that Georgios would never contribute or be a decent player based off of his freshmen year as an 18 year old on a talented team. The development of a 7 footer who was young for his class & was adjusting to American basketball is a lot different than other players. I don't get why some people are so quick to rule players out after one season. Not saying he would have for sure contributed because there's no way to know either way.

I just don't get comments like that. There is no way you could have known that & making such a bold assumption on a player like that right away doesn't make any sense. Like I said before, 7 footers who were young for their class & were adjusting to American basketball change & develop much differently than normal players.After he got here it was pretty evident that he would never be a Div 1 basketball player here. Which is fine, nothing against him.
I think some of these "negative" posts come from so many people posting on here about him being a big impact, making it to the NBA, etc. I wouldn't be as negative about it if it weren't for all the people that jumped on the bandwagon because he was 7-1 and could make the 3.

That's Pandy for youhttp://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...a-state-tsalmpouris-leaves-cyclones/31848069/
Peterson states as fact that GT wasn't happy at ISU, but I've never actually seen any evidence of that. I mean yeah, he never really got any playing time, but I've never seen anyone, especially GT, say he was unhappy. Ace reporting. Ace.
