Tell you what....if he scores 10 in a game his freshman year ill chew off my other foot...not designated for SDW when he scores 20 in a game (Which is an absolute lock bet now BTW)

Good offer, glad hes here....he needs development to play at this level....certainly not playing right away.

A 7'1" guy will score ten points at some time next year. Probably against a cupcake that doesn't have anyone over 6'8" but hey it's ten points in a NCAA D1 (BCS level) game.

Really like the idea of pairing GT with Clayton Custer for four years. The PG who can distribute and the C who can stroke the long ball. Rinse, and repeat.

Well sure....HE actually determines who starts. Until i hear hes playing....im sticking with that the kid...while very talented..is a very very raw 17 year old who needs some development, and that his impact in year 1 will be pretty limited. But im very glad we have him....he could be nasty.

Name one 17 year old that doesn't need some development going from HS to college. You're not exactly breaking any news there professor obvious.

Just a comparison. When he played at the Euro U16 tournament he averaged about 5minutes a game for Greece and scored less than a point a game. When Sviatoslav played in the U16 tournament for Ukraine he averaged 25 points a game 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
Sabonis who is going to Gonzaga averaged about 14 and 10.
Giorgos clearly has talent but the doesn't mean he is ready to contribute.

He is no Georgios Papagiannis.

NIce job coming in on page 8, and taking it out of context.

Heck all of our guys need development...its referring to the idea that the kid is stepping in right away. Hes not ready....TTTTHHHHUUUUSSSS.....why i said until CFh says hes playing, he appears to need a lot of work. Try and keep up.

It looks like the FIBA tournament is August 30-September 14, so he won't even arrive here until mid to late September.

I don't remember Hoiberg saying Custer is ready, so I guess he's not playing either, according to your logic. A whole lot of assumptions in your post. Sounds like he'll start out coming off the bench, according to that ESPN article. Until Hoiberg says he's not playing, I'll assume he is.

I'm sure the NCAA will find a way to keep him ineligible. Hopefully none of his teammates ever got paid.

Maybe we should squat on the FreeTsalbo.com domain just in case.

Im not expecting a lot from you, considering your history of posts towards me...but ill do my best ok?

POSTERS said he was playing, and were doing starting rosters...not CFH. My post was towards THOSE people. Again..try and keep up.

Dude has like 10 names apparently. Probably just a bunch of different translations.
