Το NBADraft.net – ένα από τα 2 μεγαλύτερα site για το draft του NBA – αναλύοντας το καμπ στο Τρεβίζο λέει για τον Παπανικολάου ( τον έχει 19ο σε ταλέντο το οποίο είναι κάτι )
Kostas Papanikolaou 6’8” SG/SF Greece 1990 — He has nice size and decent athleticism to play on the wing, although right now his game looks to be in the mould of a 3/4 type of forward. He has a smooth lefty jumpshot and he showed that his range stretches well out to the NBA 3. He seemed passive for most of the time, only taking shots that were wide open rather than trying to create his own opportunities. Part of the problem is that his game off the dribble is very limited, so he is very uncomfortable handling the ball and has no confidence attacking. If he can add to his perimeter game and in return become a full time SF, he will definitely better his outlook as a prospect.
Πρέπει να ήταν εύστοχος στα 3ποντα γιατί τον θεωρεί ότι το χει !!!

Αυτό νομίζω είναι το κλου . Φοβάται . Δεν παίρνει προσπάθειες και είναι κάτι που πρέπει να αρχίσει να κάνει σιγά σιγά αν θέλει να γίνει κάτι παραπάνω

Alexandros Sigkounas 6’9” PF Greece 1988 — Had a nice showing on the 3rd day with a game high 18 points. Didn’t stand out athletically. Just an average player who hustles.
Georgios Bogris 6’11” C Greece 1989 — A fluid athlete but not very explosive nor talented. A lower level player in Greece.
Evangelos Sakellariou 6’5” SG Greece 1989 — One of the less talented players in camp. Gave solid effort but does not have any area in which he stands out from an NBA perspective.
Nikolaos Pappas 6’5” PG Greece 1990 — One of the smartest players in camp, he really knows how to pass and understands the game. Unfortunately his foot speed is painfully slow making the NBA impossible. He should have a very nice career in Greece however.
Αξιοσημείωτο το σχόλιο για τον Παππά , παρόλο που τα νούμερα του γενικά δεν ήταν καλά . Αν κρίνουμε πάντως από την έλλειψη άσσων Ελλήνων ίσως να αξίζει να δώσουμε μια ευκαιρία στον μικρό .
