Kostas Antetokounmpo

[PGsHeroes32]

I feel like Hauser is almost a given. Rowsey is probably 50/50 between us and Cincy. My dream scenario would be adding two grad transfers (Jordan Daniels and Tomasz Gielo seem like realistic and modest hopes) still and somehow landing Hauser, Winston, and Kostas for 2016. I like Coffey, but the injury history is worrisome and Kostas seems like that kid we might really regret if we don't bring him in.

Please no Rowsey.

I don't think you can hold the ACL against Coffey. That just happens. Unless it comes to show his knees are shot Fulce still.

But I couldn't argue going Kostas instead.

However Winston is basically a no chance isn't he?

[GGGG]

Please no Rowsey.

Even if Wojo wants him?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Blind stats from two PGE players for 4 games in session 3 at EYBL:

Player A

13.3 ppg  11.3 rpg   1.0 apg   0.5 spg    1.5 bpg   1.8 TO/game
24.3 mpg    shooting (FG%/3pt%/FT%)= .455/.500/.563


Player B

7.5 ppg  3.3 rpg   0.3 apg   0.5 spg    0.8 bpg   1.8 TO/game
25.3 mpg        shooting= .267/.188/.550


Which player do you give the scholarship to?  Player A or Player B?

Player A= Bryce Nze

Player B= Kostas Blackledge Antetokounmpo

The best thing Kostas has going for him is his last name.  Maybe he will blow up but right now he's little more than a hot stock tip...hype over substance...he's worth monitoring but I'm still a long way from joining the band wagon...I'm taking the wait and see approach.

Even if Wojo wants him?

Well, as of now I trust wojo. No reason not too.

But I'd strongly prefer he went elsewhere

[BM1090]

Give me Rowsey. Give me Hauser. Give me Coffey. Give me Kostas. There will be a transfer in the next year or so. Always happens, no reason to expect that will change.

With 13 scholarships I see no reason taking a gamble on a kid who is 6'9" who probably is just growing into his body who has 2 professionals already in his family.  Why not?  Is brother has a lot to learn yet but he has matured and this year was 30% better than last.  I expect 20% more next year from Giannis, with about 300 jumpers a day this summer.

If there's one thing I've learned over the last 5 or so years, it's this.

Give me Kyle Washington instead of Kostas.  The rest I agree on.  If not Washington, then what other big men options does MU have?  Then Kostas.  If Kostas starts to put it together he'll climb the ladder.  He's just not there yet for me.  Wojo may have other plans just my point of view.

I'd definitely take Harry Giles over Kostas if he were at all realistic.  I'd love to get Cassius Winston too but think he'll go to Mich St.

[Freeport Warrior]

I would take Kostas over even a Jayson Tatum or Harry Giles.

No F'n way. Kostas might end up being a better pro in 7 years, but these two guys are beyond light years ahead of him.

[tower912]

Grab him.   At worst, he is a 6'9 (and growing) project.   At best, he steps right into Henry's shoes after he goes 1-and-done after taking MU to the elite 8.   

[brewcity77]

Remember how far everyone was ahead of Embiid at this time? If not for injury, he likely would have gone ahead of Wiggins and Jabari. I'm rolling the dice that Kostas is experiencing a similar rise. Could easily end up being wrong. Hell, the odds are heavily in favor of me being wrong. But I'm betting the sky is the limit for Giannis' little bro.

[We R Final Four]

You must have missed the memo, but Henry is staying four years now.

[tompopsicle]

Maybe Giannis will pay for his tuition to keep him in Milwaukee. Then, he won't take up a scholarship.

yeah, just like oj's paying for todd's.

people who think this stuff actually happened are funny.  players don't willfully give up money.  they take every single last penny they can get.  if his brother (or dad, see mcdermott)were the coach at marquette then he would "walk on"...in that he would get free tuition to school due to his dad being an employee at the school...not because dad (or brother) paid for his son to go to school.

[4everwarriors]

Nah, Wojo can just adopt him, hey?

[withoutbias]

i retract my statement.  just put mu's tuition on the buck's expense account for giannis.

[Les Nessman]

Is Kostas's last name pronounced: An-tee-toe-ko-un-po? I have been struggling with this the entire thread.

So you are the type that would pick kaminsky over okafur?

[brandx]

So you are the type that would pick kaminsky over okafur?

Depends whether you are talking college or NBA. BTW, Kaminsky was the tallest guy at the combine - 6'11" 3/4


In other news, Pat Connaughton recorded the 2nd best max vertical leap in NBA combine history. Anyone see that coming?

One on one at the Kohl Center? I am the type taking Kaminsky. Are coaches allowed???  If so, I select Bo Ryan just to keep it real.

Also has a 100mph fastball.  Take the longevity of MLB.

[jsglow]

Sure seems to have exploded in the national rankings.

C'mon man. I mean, Kostas get on board and do the right thin' by joinin' Rowsey and Hauser in the MU Trifecta, hey?

[MU82]

Sure seems to have exploded ...

And you know how painful that can be!

[jsglow]

And you know how painful that can be!

Well played.

I would hope Wojo wants him.  Pretty tough to coach 6' 9" and probably still growing plus the bloodlines are pretty incredible.  So if I have my numbers correct we have 2 available '16 slots at the moment?  This of course assume HE stays for at least his Sophomore year.
