Kostas Antetokounmpo

[wadesworld]

No surprise going pro and doing the camp. You can come back now. I also won't be surprised if Hauser and Howard do that.

Highly doubtful Hauser will put off having surgery for another month to simply hear he isn't ready for the NBA and come back to MU.

[Nukem2]

Where does it say that? In the article it says he has the option of returning.

In an article in the Dayton News, it’s reported that he has already withdrawn from school.

"The University of Dayton basketball team has lost three more players, including 6-foot-10 redshirt freshmen Kostas Antetokounmpo, who has already withdrawn from school."

Reminder to those trying to make fun of Mr. Cain. Although it's too late already, try not to disparage the brother of a top 5 NBA player and also a potential 2020 recruit.

Must have realized he was in Dayton.

Phew.   MU dodged a bullet there.

Why?  We we never filled Wally's scholarship after he was cut.  That became Froling.  Better prospect? 

Think the choice automatically stays the same if Kostas is living in his adopted hometown where his brother/parents live?

This was not a case of dodging a bullet.  Kostas is exactly the type of recruit you take a flyer on - hell we did it with Ike - and he doesn't even have the lineage...and wasn't local.

At the time the decision was made, most people - not just Wojo - thought Froling was the better prospect.

He dropped out of school.

Personally, I didn't want the drama of superstar's little brother sitting on the bench collecting splinters in his bum. We already went through that once. I'm happy Kostas found the two year stop off that he was looking for.

My sense is he doesn’t want to go to classes any more . He also had a tough nosed coach at Dayton who was honest with him which was probably hard for Kostas to accept. My sense is he is looking for a team to pick him up and put him in G league in hopes of signing big brother someday.

Clearly Kostas would be better off staying in school and becoming more consistent as a player. Kid has to pay his dues and be enthusiastic about that process in order to grow and realize on his potential.

[Billy Hoyle]

My guess is he follows his oldest brother, Thanasis, over to Greece and plays there.  I imagine that if Thasasis is playing there the family got their Greek citizenship, or at least became documented.  The family was undocumented when they followed Giannis to the US.  The whole family, particularly the kids, went through hell thanks to the Golden Dawn and other far right, nationalist organizations in Greece.

Plus, the coach who recruited him at Dayton is no longer there.

Tell that to Dayton's APR score. Just took a hit, bud.

Sounds like the right fit for Kostas, who said at the combine that he knew he still had more development to do.

Hoping to get Giannis.  Kostas is no freak.

They signed Kostas hoping to get Giannis...in three years???

[MU82]

The Hornets signed Mangok Mathiang to a two-way contract last season. He sucks.

Two-way contracts don't mean much.

Wake me when Kostas (or anybody else) makes an actual roster for an actual season.

Anyone who wants to take his APR hit can have him.

Kostas looking like a great prospect for the Mavs.  The exact kind of player you take a flier on with the 60th pick in the draft.  Was quite odd to read all of the negativity associated with Kostas as we didn't kick the tires on offering.

NBA team picking up a prospect that could be good in a couple years is different than a college offering him, when in hindsight, he was only ever going to spend one year in school.  Smart move to stay away.

8 points on 4 dunks and 2 rebounds against the powerhouse that is the Beijing Ducks.  You have always liked your dunks.  Reminds you of your old self.

Looks like a guy with long arms and...well, long arms.

What's odd about it?  There was a reason major suitors fell off.  There was a reason he sat out a year before playing at Dayton.  There was likely a reason that he left Dayton after playing one, relatively OK year there.

He would have been a waste of a scholarship at MU.  I'm sure the people at Dayton are wondering what that was all about at this point.
