Bourousis Will Be Spurs Saviour

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Ioannis Bourousis will be Spurs savior. Remember I say before here he decide he want come to NBA? After Olympics many NBA team give him contract offers. He say he want play in Spurs team though as first choice and he will come to NBA if can after season.

Now see is time he is begin establish himself with what he is able to do. He do not start play basketball I think until age 17 or 18 and he is big man also so was take him longer to develop. But in Olympics he begin to develop and play very well and now is ready to take over this year.

He is HUGE. He is list as 7-1 265 pound center but Olympiacos coach says he is really 7-1 280. He have the 7-5 wingspan. Very good athlete, very strong, excellent shot blocker and rebounder. Very good offensive game with good post moves and excellent shooter. Even very good 3 point shooter. He is not stiff at all believe me. Even Doug Collins says in Olympics how impressive he is and he says he is big man he like most off all he see for good NBA career better then Marc Gasol he say.

He is playing in better and deeper team than Tiago Splitter and he is becoming better player then him. I even say so far this year in Euroleague he is better player than Splitter is. And he is much bigger player then Splitter.

I will be glad get him off Olympiacos so PAO will not face him anymore. And he can come to Spurs and will be great center for Spurs. We will see bad year now for Spurs but they need be smart about next year. Bourousis want play for them as starting center and they need be very smart and grab him fast. He is very capable.

PG Parker
SG Manu
SF Bowen
PF Duncan
C Bourousis

Can be scary good lineup for next year to win champions of NBA again. Is OK Spurs fans will be hope again next year if Spurs is smart and grab this Greek giant that wants come play with them.

I have my friend make video clip for him in youtube since all idiots here keep say he is a joke and a scrub and cannot play in NBA. I keep try tell everyone here he is free agent and he is one Spurs need to get.

Forget Splitter. Bourousis is available and is even more talented player.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

A 23-year old center who only started playing organized basketball 5 years ago after giving up on his career as a swimmer, Yiannis Bouroussis made serious enough strides this past season to earn himself a rightful spot on this list—one that he probably won’t be relinquishing anytime soon until he makes his way over.

A legit 7-footer with a huge frame and a very nice wingspan, Bouroussis looks the part and then some. And while he is not a spectacular athlete by any stretch, particularly in the way he gets off the floor to finish around the basket, he moves well enough and is fluid and coordinated to the point that this won’t be what’s holding him back either.

Skill-wise, Bouroussis is intriguing as well. He has a beautiful looking flat-footed stroke with range that extends past the European 3-point line, and the touch to punish any rival that dares leave him open from there. His quick release combined with his size establish him as a fantastic option to space the floor for his team from the perimeter, and he’s talented enough to present himself as a pick and pop threat from mid-range as well.

Bouroussis’ bread and butter this year lied in his ability to play the pick and roll, though. Whether setting the pick himself and rolling to the hoop or coming off a secondary screen as the cutter following one of his guards forays into the paint, he established himself as an incredibly reliable presence in the paint thanks to his fantastic hands and very sure touch around the hoop. His strength helped him here as well, as he can take contact and finish around the hoop fairly well thanks to his great frame.

He just signed a four year contract with Olimpiacos last year according to his agent Costas Papadakis of First Class Management, and only has an NBA out clause in 2009. Papadakis says that as many as ten teams have regardless expressed interest, and that Bouroussis “does have a desire to play in the NBA, like all players.” In his opinion he will need at least one more year in Greece, since he still is very far from reaching his full potential as a player due to the fact that he started playing the game much later than most, at age 18. But, as Papadakis explained, “when the time is correct, he’ll surely be interested.”


This is from draftexpress. Believe me he is now this year coming on.

10 NBA teams have offer him MLE contract this summer. Doug Collins says he is better then Marc Gasol. He has opt out clause for zero buyout at end of year. He says Spurs is at top of his list. This all you need know.

[mrspurs]

No more overseas players please. I just dont like the fact that as soon as the season is over. Boom, there they go off to play for their countries. When you have to many of them on your roster your just asking for trouble. I dont want to see our roster try and beat each other during world or olympic championships. I just want them to play together for San Antonio Championships. There is nothing to gain when they play after our season is over. Nothing at all.

I'd rather have a talented foreigner like Ginobili than a worthless American stiff like Bonner.

Of course, we really don't know just how talented this guy is. KBP has a reputation for pimping these Greek guys hard, and nobody else seems to have watched him play.

[nfg3]

You have stated alot that from many here are just a bunch of ifs:

IF he is really that good
IF many/any NBA teams really want him
IF he opts out of his contract to come to the NBA
IF he comes to play/tryout for the Spurs as the first option

IF these things actually happpen then and only then will many on this board believe what you have said. As of now this is pure speculation.

Here are some other ifs;

IF the US economy doesn't improve neither will the buying power of the US $ vs. the Euro - what we will have is Splitter The Sequel - by which a Euro player stays put for alot more money than accept a lower payday in the states.

IF he is really that good

IF he doesn't get homesick - ala V-Span

I've never heard of this guy and IF he is that good he would be on the radar of many NBA teams (as you have stated) and a frequent topic for discussion and speculation.

And anyway your reputation proceeds you.

:lol Americans never hear of him because they NEVER know anything about game in Europe. You believe only good Euros are in NBA. You believe only the "best Euros" are ones drafted by NBA.

You believe nonsense like "if player in Europe is any good he will be in NBA".

This is all wrong and crap. Most of best European players never ever even go to NBA. Then is all the hype players from US and Spanish hype.

You need understand Rudy Fernandez has NEVER been best player in Europe. Scola and Jasiekvicius NEVER were best player in Europe.

But EVERY time NBA announcer bring them up they start same craps "best non NBA player in world" "best Euroleague player" and all this same BS.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Tiago Splitter who some call best non NBA player this year is average 3.3 rebounds per game in 20.1 minutes per game in Euroleague.

Nikola Pekovic who is consider best center in all Europe by most NBA scouts is average 2.5 rebounds per game in 18.7 minutes per game in Euroleague.

Bourousis is average 8.3 rebounds per game in 19.7 minutes per game in Euroleague.

Remember he never play basketball game until 18 years old and was swimmer like Duncan was before this. This why it taking him longer to develop. I finally start see him show signs in Olympics though and now he look ready to start play to his talent this year. He is by far this year outperform these ones above who is consider by all NBA as best big men in Europe.

Also believe me his defense is much much better than defense of Pekovic. It is same Pekovic remember last year at NBA draft they says would have been top 5 pick if not for contract he have with PAO.

And remember Hollinger say Euroleague player will get 18% more rebounds in NBA than in Euroleague. You also remember how Spurs and Rockets fans believe Scola will not be able rebound in NBA and find he is better rebounder in NBA than Euroleague because is harder to get rebounds in Euroleague than in NBA.

I think you have a valid point there. But before dissing Americans, you must also consider that most of these yahoos posting here are from The Philippines, Brazil, Arkansas or other such obscure country. :lol

I enjoy KBP's posts...the sig...and the way he gets people stirred up.

[jjktkk]

Some of these Euro big's are very talented, but for the most part, they are soft as marshmellows. They need to learn to play with a mean streak, if they really want to compete in the NBA.

[SpurSupremacist]

lol idiot. This player is becoming better and better. he is already better than most NBA starters at center position. IMO for sure better than Kaman already.

That's insane. Kaman averaged like 18 and 12 last year with 2 blocks. If he puts up those kind of numbers at ANY point in his career, I will shine your shoes.

[Manufan909]

Actually 16, 13 and 2. But that's even more impressive, if you think about it. IF this dude is half of way KPB says he is, I hope Pop takes notice. But if there's a deal, it better be fucking foolproof, fucking Splitter.. :bang

[mrspurs]

Put another overseas player who is good on this roster and watch how fast this team falls apart. We already have 4 players who cant wait for our long season to end, just to re-unite with their countrymen and put it all on the court. (3 starters and one backup center). We've been lucky so far, and boom there went our luck. Screw the Euros, they dont pay this countrys bills and they sure in the heck dont have a clue where San Antonio is. It was fun while it lasted, but that time has gone. Im sure the FO has learned its lessson on bringing in overseas players. If they havnt, then they deserve what they get. But the Fans of San Antonio dont. This is our town and I for one dont think we need another guy who puts his country first then his team second. Look at where we are right now. We dont have to be in this situation. We are in this spot because of Manu and where is Manu from? And where does Manu play after our season is over? And I bet once this season is over he will be right back playing in Argentina again. Overseas players careers dont last long in the USA. Unless this guy is the next Yao or Shaq the spurs should pass on him. If their smart that is.

[temujin]

So, you would be opposed to team USA?


Nah, she just favours Monta Ellis-type off season behaviours.

[temujin]

In as much as KBP is some sort of a character joke in here,
he does have a point in Bourousis.
The guy is a beast.
I was absolutely impressed with the guy at the Olympics.

The point is NOT whether he can play in the NBA.
The point is whether he will be another Splitter, making way too much money in Europe to seriously consider going overseas.

Trade Oberto for Malik.

And trade that Duncan islander for Greg Oden, who never gets hurt playing in the off-season.

I don't. The economic situation here in the US versus the lucrative, competitive international market have rendered the Spurs strategy of drafting and stocking international players to be a very risky one.

For now, I don't want the Spurs to get get burned again by another Splitter-type fiasco. I want them to play if safe.

Having them play for their country is their right - even if we don't agree with it. I'm far less worried about that, than I am wasting draft picks that never pan out.

[SenorSpur]

I'd rather have a talented foreigner like Ginobili than a worthless American stiff like Bonner.


Exactly! With the way the league salary scales are currently setup, the Spurs can ill-afford to gamble draft picks on players that may never see the inside of an NBA arena. The Spurs have invested too many picks in this fashion as it is - which is partly why the cupboard is bare now.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

what were their numbers when matched up on the Olympics qualifying tournament?

For Olympic Qualifier numbers for tournament

Kaman

22.8 MPG

57.8 FG%
70.6 FT%

12.8 PPG
8.6 RPG
0.6 APG
0.4 SPG
1.2 BPG

Bourousis

15 MPG

65.2 FG%
84.6 FT%

10.5 PPG
2.8 RPG
0.5 APG
0.8 SPG
1.0 BPG

Kaman of course play more minute because his team suck bad compared to Greek team which was much deeper team.

For same minutes then numbers is


Kaman

22.8 MPG

12.8 PPG
8.6 RPG
0.6 APG
0.4 SPG
1.2 BPG

Bourousis

22.8 MPG


16.0 PPG
4.3 RPG
0.8 APG
1.2 SPG
1.5 BPG

Bourousis is great rebounder though as you can see how much superior he is in rebounding in Euroleague to Splitter and Pekovic. Reason he have less rebounds with national team is because in national team his role is play as Pf and stand at 3 point line most of time. Only sometimes is his role play center and play in post or in pick and roll.

In Olympiacos is mainly his role is play center and play in pick and roll. Even though he have same coach in both team don't ask me this is. Giannakis is obsessive coach in some ways. Of course remember this is not really serious info. For German team these was serious games but for Greek team was averaging 32 point blow out wins. So Bourousis was not even really play for real until Olympic tournament because whole Greek team was toying with teams in qualifier.

Here is Olympic numbers where of course all players had to play for real.


Kaman

19.8 MPG

48.8 FG%
90.9 FT%

10.4 PPG
6.0 RPG
0.4 APG
0.0 SPG
0.4 BPG

Bourousis

17.3 MPG

77.4 FG%
76.0 FT%

11.7 PPG
5.2 RPG
0.5 APG
1.0 SPG
0.3 BPG

Again of course Kaman play a little more minutes because Greek team was deeper. Bourousis get little better rebounds in Olympics because was use more at center by coach.

So for same minutes in Olympics numbers would be

Kaman

19.8 MPG


10.4 PPG
6.0 RPG
0.4 APG
0.0 SPG
0.4 BPG

Bourousis

17.3 MPG


13.4 PPG
6.0 RPG
0.6 APG
1.1 SPG
0.3 BPG

As can see Bourousis is also more efficient player in offense and is also solid foul shooter as Kaman is which of course is also good thing about Bourousis as most big men in NBA cannot make free throws good enough.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Bourousis have NBA opt out after this season. This ONLY time he can opt out of LONG TERM CONTRACT he already have. And he can only opt out of deal to go to NBA not different Euro club. He is not make so much now in Olympiacos either. He will have to wait several years then to get big deal in Europe and of course can always get injury.

He is also not draft pick by NBA so he can sign with NBA team he want and is no rookie salary scale. This is no way similar to Splitter situation.

Like I say Bourousis defense is VERY good. He was play center in Olympics instead of PF which he play in qualifier. I am sure he is more talent than Splitter.

[GSH]

Something must be wrong with your ComCast service, Bill. It seems to have dropped parts of the DraftExpress article you posted. (Including the part about him shooting 60% from the FT line.) I'm a nice guy, so I'll post the rest for you:


Weaknesses
He seriously lacks mental strength. Despite his energy and athleticism, most of the times he looks like a fish out of water. Despite his ability to get in and change a game, he rarely does it. His coach doesn't trust him with significant playing time, simply because he is not trustworthy. Bouroussis has many physical skills, but hardly a clue of how to take advantage of them. Even when he enters the court, he seems passive, raw, confused and not focused at all. He is scared to take many shots and thinks about it too long, looking soft and insecure, something that opponent centers feast on. His decision making ability is at best pathetic. As a result, despite almost three years of experience in the Euroleague, he doesn't seem to have gained many things, especially in regards to experience and competitiveness and that's sad. In other words, he seems to be a lost talent.

It's clear that when you have a very talented player like Bouroussis, you need to use him in order for him to develop. Bouroussis, however, never got that. He had to fight to earn his minutes and he was never a fighter.

Skill wise, he appears to be a bit uncomfortable with his back to the basket, at that's why I honestly believe that his game is closer to an NBA Power Forward. He can finish with the right hand and he can dunk impressively, although he usually is a lay-up finisher. He has many moves inside too, but he is always confused and many times he does not to know what to do with the ball in his hands. Despite being a good perimeter shooter, his free throw shooting isn't great. He shoots around 60-62% and needs to improve here.

Defensively, he hasn't shown much. He has a problem with stronger players, but I think that his biggest difficulty is to keep up with the tempo of the game. He needs the ball in his hands, so he can make baskets and then you can see him improving on defense too. So, he doesn't really lack the fundamentals. Simply, when he feels that the he is a part of the team and he stays for significant time in the court, he will try his best and soon he can contribute on both sides of the floor. However, when he gets in for 5 minutes or less at a time, he again looks like a fish out of water. Confused Especially when he knows that he'll go out after his first turnover.

Outlook
Automatically eligible as a 1983 prospect. Could be a good player to pick up in the 2nd round and let develop in Europe, hoping that his potential materializes. He plays for AEK, and has NBA scouts watching him in practice (he plays on the same team and Nikolas Zissis) on occasion, so people know who he is and what he is capable of, despite not getting much extended playing time this year.

Comments
Potentially, I think that Bouroussis is clearly NBA material (maybe a power forward there, but he could play both frontline positions), but only if he changes his mindset. His physical tools are rare to find. He is very talented, but he is now close to 22 and I don't remember many players changing character in that age. I think it might be too late for him now and I don't think that any scout will keep his eye on him for over a month without getting frustrated.

It's a shame because he has all the skills. His basketball IQ is good. He has a basketball mind in a basketball body. He is not soft, he has completely adopted basketball fundamentals. He can work, but only if he understands that he will earn something from that. I think that he likes the game, indeed, I think he loves it, but only when he scores 1-2 baskets and then stays on the court for 10-12 minutes or so. He really seems to want to be a contributor, but he gets discouraged. He wants to be a star, but he lacks character and he doesn't allow his coach to accept the risk of giving him a starting job. He is enthusiastic, but his psyche is affected by many things. I don't really think that he realizes where he is. He plays for a top-16 Euroleague team, he is a great talent, he has scouts coming for Zissis and opponent youngsters, so he technically is still in the game. Yet, he is still full of ups and downs. He is not trustworthy, but if given the choice, I'd take the risk

Facts
Bouroussis became known to the Greek basketball fans, after a positive game in the A1 Finals versus Panathinaikos in 2003. Star Power Forward Dimos Dikoudis was injured and the then unknown 19-year old Bouroussis scored 10 points to help AEK win the game but not the finals. The year after, he didn't get the playing time one would expect though. Not much progress in his game during the past months either.

Dude, don't give me FIBA numbers. Kaman played on a shitty team, too. FIBA is not the NBA. Kaman would eat this guy alive 1 on 1 on the block.

Moron. Kaman sucks completely to Bourousis. You idiots that talk crap without even having seen a player play is too much.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Something must be wrong with your ComCast service, Bill. It seems to have dropped parts of the DraftExpress article you posted. (Including the part about him shooting 60% from the FT line.) I'm a nice guy, so I'll post the rest for you:


Weaknesses
He seriously lacks mental strength. Despite his energy and athleticism, most of the times he looks like a fish out of water. Despite his ability to get in and change a game, he rarely does it. His coach doesn't trust him with significant playing time, simply because he is not trustworthy. Bouroussis has many physical skills, but hardly a clue of how to take advantage of them. Even when he enters the court, he seems passive, raw, confused and not focused at all. He is scared to take many shots and thinks about it too long, looking soft and insecure, something that opponent centers feast on. His decision making ability is at best pathetic. As a result, despite almost three years of experience in the Euroleague, he doesn't seem to have gained many things, especially in regards to experience and competitiveness and that's sad. In other words, he seems to be a lost talent.

It's clear that when you have a very talented player like Bouroussis, you need to use him in order for him to develop. Bouroussis, however, never got that. He had to fight to earn his minutes and he was never a fighter.

Skill wise, he appears to be a bit uncomfortable with his back to the basket, at that's why I honestly believe that his game is closer to an NBA Power Forward. He can finish with the right hand and he can dunk impressively, although he usually is a lay-up finisher. He has many moves inside too, but he is always confused and many times he does not to know what to do with the ball in his hands. Despite being a good perimeter shooter, his free throw shooting isn't great. He shoots around 60-62% and needs to improve here.

Defensively, he hasn't shown much. He has a problem with stronger players, but I think that his biggest difficulty is to keep up with the tempo of the game. He needs the ball in his hands, so he can make baskets and then you can see him improving on defense too. So, he doesn't really lack the fundamentals. Simply, when he feels that the he is a part of the team and he stays for significant time in the court, he will try his best and soon he can contribute on both sides of the floor. However, when he gets in for 5 minutes or less at a time, he again looks like a fish out of water. Confused Especially when he knows that he'll go out after his first turnover.

no one here respects you, likes you, or cares what you have to say. it doesn't help your cause that you are disrespectful, abrasive, and insulting.

maybe if you would show more humility and respect for your fellow posters, you could actually have a quality basketball discussion. however, it is obvious that a quality basketball discussion is not what you want. you want to act like a little dictator and spew your opinions without being challenged or questioned. you want us all to be mindless sheep and you our shepherd.

I saw the Euroleague game Le Mans/Olympiacos.
Bouroussis did not have any impressive move... but he quietly destroyed Le Mans inside.
I didn't notice him being very athletic but I must admit I was not focused on his game.

Le Mans being weak inside (even if Koffi had a good game) I can't know from this game how good is Bouroussis but he may better that any center we have for the moment.

At any rate your point about greek players in the NBA is very week.

Sebians before Vlade, or Croatians before Drazen?

Admittedly, I have watched Greece games at the Olimpics in an ideal situation.
After cruising with my boat on a lovely beach on a Greek island, very very few people around, I would ask the local folks at the -only- beach bar -all basketball nuts- which game would be on TV that day. Then I would go swimming, come back and either had a nice lunch AND then watched the game, or watched the game AND then had lunch.
More swimming and cruising back at sunset followed.

Bourousis is a beast and my understanding is that he is playing basketball for the last 4 years or so. Vast improvements ahead.

Oh, and the Greek food was pretty good in this place. They even managed to NOT fuck up the fish.

Why would he come here when it's obvious he can get a bigger contract over there. The NBA is bleeding this year to the tune of 175 million that they have to borrow to keep operations going. Next year there is sure to be a hard salary cap that is even lower than this year. So that means more NBA players going East than even this year.

good player. not superfast, nor the best jumper, but a decent athlete unlike say a Rasho Nestorivich. Can hit the open j. Does finish decently at the rim (ie dunks does not lay it in).


Would be a serviceable player. Is a real big. Don't know how great he would be helping Tim defend the paint.

Does he really want to come over to the NBA when he can make more money in Europe? Doubtful.

If we could get either Nestorivich or Rasheed Wallace for the full MLE, they would be a much better choice, especially Rasheed.

Plus, eventually, Ian will be healthy and we'll have to see if he can play in the NBA.

Will Splitter recover from latest injury? Does Splitter come over to the NBA- doubtful.

We need a decent second big who can help Tim protect the rim, shotblock and defensive rebound. If he could do that for the MLE, he might be worth it. However, Rasheed Wallace, Rasho and possibly Ian would be who would obviously look at first.


However, thanks for bringing him to our attention and for the video.

[Iraklis]

I think he can be a decent NBA player if he comes in a suitable team, ie a team that needs his skills. He is strong and a good rebounder, though on both dimensions inferior to Splitter. He is way faster and more mobile, but I am not sure if he could guard the more agile PFs in the league. He is an excellent 3-point shooter, but he settles too much for it. In offense, you can see him spending most of the time outside the 3-point line setting picks and positioning for the long jumper if the roll doesnt work. He is not really skilled with the ball, but he can put it down and drive to the basket with some degree of success (definiteley less skilled than a Bargnani or a Nowitzki). He has good athleticism and is quite explosive off the pick n' roll usually ending in dunks. He plays with passion and is a decent on the ball defender. His biggest weakness is the complete lack of a post game. It always dissapoints me when I see strong tall players settling for the jumper. In his worst he can be an unskilled version of Rentzias (the biggest waste of talent in basketball history), a center who settles for 3-point shots. He is also not a very good passer and his dribbling is just OK.
He is definitely a better player than K. Thomas and Oberto in this stage of their careers (better athlete, stronger, more skill and better shot) but I am not sure that his 3-point shot is consistent enough to take the M Bonner role. But he can be the first big man off the bench for at least half NBA teams and contribute for 15-20 mins right now. However, I think that Splitter has a more defined style of play and position(he is a strong and athletic but not so skilled center, with good post-up game, and a very good defender), which increases the likelihood of him being a successfull NBA player compared to a 4/5 like Bouroussis.
I have no info on the rumours regarding his intentions to come to the NBA, but I think that he would be a welcome addition to the Spurs roster replacing Thomas or Oberto and definitely a far superior basketball player than Mahinmi (who is not worth of being in an NBA roster even in his wildest dreams).

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I think Bourousis is better fit for Spurs than Splitter because he can spread floor for Duncan. He can do defense, size, and rebounding at C position that Bonner cannot and can also spread floor. He would be more effective also as shooter than he is in Euroleague because he would have more space open and also more open shots.

He is perfect big to play next to Duncan and also Manu and Parker because he can run the floor and finish in the break. Splitter is player that will demand ball in the post and will not spread floor. Does not fit as well with Duncan.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Bourousis dominated Nikola Pekovic in last game. Pekovic is supposed to be best or second best non NBA big man.

To be honest, a Youtube video of highlights is not going to tell us how his play is going to be in the NBA. He may be good, but at the same time, Pops Mensah Bonsu's highlight video was more impressive, and he's getting garbage minutes right now, so to call him a savior? WAY overexaggerating his level at this moment.

I already show box scores of him outplay Kaman both times when Greece play against Germany, Splitter when Greece play against Brazil, Scola when Greece play against Argentina and Yao when Greece play against China.

How much more do I have to show for proof of what this player can do?

Box scores don't tell you when someone outplays someone. That tells you when they get better stats maybe..but it's not good enough to tell us that his game will translate into the NBA..it's a different game with different rules. He may be good, yes...but you can't call a guy a savior if he hasn't even stepped on the NBA court. That's absurd.

You = zero basketball knowledge

What Spurs need is a high level center that will fit perfect with their system and with Parker, Manu, and Duncan. This will bring them back another championship.

Bourousis is that player. He would bring 5th championship that will not happen otherwise. This = savior

How about in all these games not only better stats but Greece won every game except one? Only game they lost was against Argentina. That game they lost by 2 points and missed 3 at the buzzer that could have won game. Also in that game Delfino played the best game of his entire life or else Greece would have easily won that game also. So undefeated in all these games and close in another one that only happened because of freak once in lifetime game by Delfino.

But I guess you will also have another stupid excuse you will make up for this also.

Let me tell you something. First off, I know a lot more about basketball than you could dream of knowing. I played the game in college, and I have other credentials in the business that you don't even deserve to hear about. This Bourousis player is decent from your clip, but you cannot just say that a guy who has NEVER played in the NBA will come into the league and give a team a championship. That's ignorant. And to say that the Spurs will not win a title without him is even more ignorant. Please, do yourself a favor and go kiss foreign players asses elsewhere, because we really don't want to hear about it. I'd take Gooden or Smith over this guy in a heartbeat. Why? Because they're vets who have played the game before. Here's breaking news..the NBA IS NOT EUROPE!!! And even so..this savior you speak of has averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds in the Euro League. Drew Gooden is over 13 points and 8 rebounds in the NBA, and he's far from a savior, but he'd be a piece to a puzzle. When he played against the US in the Olympics, he got 9 points and 4 rebounds. I mean..come on..Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony BOTH got more rebounds than him. I checked his stats. For a 7'1" guy, he doesn't rebound for shit. That's what the Spurs need, is rebounding. In the US game, he had no steals, no blocks, and 3 fouls. Not exactly looking like a savior, is he? If the Spurs signed him, he'd belong in another thread in here...worst Spurs ever. Giving him a jersey would be a waste of thread. Can we end this thread now? PLEASE?!

Well unfortunately for the modern greeks, they have nothing to do with the ancient hellenes who were sending ships for that one girl, you are talking about. In fact, Greeks did not even exist back then. The greeks as a people were created in the 1880's. They have nothing in common with the ancient hellenes, not ethnically, linguistically nor culturally.

Anyway, we will probably all forget about bourousis, in fact most of us already did. :rollin

I and also some others here keeps try to explain to NBA American fans that stats in Europe is not same thing as they are in NBA. So many Spurs fans cannot understand this. They keep say thing like "5 rebounds in Europe means player will suck in NBA" and such.

This same arguments keeps come up EVERY TIME someone suggest a player from Europe, just as same case with Scola where Spurs fans really did believe 6 rebounds per game in Euroleague mean this will be really poor rebounder in NBA. Without even understand that 6 rebounds in Euroleague is like 9-10 rebounds in NBA.

Same with assists. No matter how many time this is explain here fans do not believe it. But in Europe an assist is only count if a player score directly on pass. So think of this way, most assists that players like Paul, Nash, Kidd, Stockton and such players gets in NBA will never even be count in Europe.

Also points. So many fans keeps says dumb things like "12 points in Euroleague = 3 points in NBA" but this is stupid. Teams only average 75 points so how can 12 points be same thing as in NBA? Games are much slower and much shorter.

But I and some others here have said this so many times and we never get anywhere and instead we just get insults and call bad names and attacked by others here for say such things. As can see by discussions with Scola Spurs fans need to learn some things about game in Europe. This is prove by how any time a fan bring up a good player in Europe for Spurs they are always attack after some idiots looks up there stats in Europe.

I will show you idiots how foolish you look. I will use Panathinaikos team all time stats as example here for this stats lesson since Panathinaikos team is rank by FIBA Europe as #1 best Euroleague team of last 20 years history. So we will see how best team in Europe in last 20 years has in all history in this same period each best player for stats.

As you can see even in team that has been in the last 20 years the best team in Europe, even in such club as this these are the stats. Even as can see players like Dimitris Diamantidis and Dejan Bodiroga with all their MVP awards and even Diamantidis was vote best player in Europe once, you can see their stats here, Diamantidis winning best European player award and his stats is 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.

So PLEASE from now on when someone explain to you like how Bourousis gets 7-8 rebounds in Europe in one of biggest Euroleague clubs please understand this means he is an incredible rebounder, instead of same crap like "that means he will get 2 rebounds in NBA". Just like how idiots never could learn about Scola.

And please try understand that also stats in Europe is not like same as in NBA like in NBA any stats from same league is use as example. In Europe cannot do that. You cannot use stats from small or even middle size clubs and think is same thing as big size Euroleague clubs. A player can get 15 points and 5 assists in a small Euroleague club and will not even make the roster of a big Euroleague club. Or a player will get 15 points and 3 assists in a middle size Euroleague club and will be lucky to make even active roster of a big Euroleague club.

And no way in hell can you compare stats from leagues like Spain and Italy and such to Euroleague. But all the time we see here fans is always doing this. Like how players is having such stats in Italy or whatever. Is nonsense.

You must look at players that are in the big Euroleague clubs and then understand what these stats mean. As you can already see player like Luis Scola. Scola in his career in big Euroleague club TAU was 15.4 PPG and 5.9 RPG

Spurs fans kept believe such nonsense as 15 and 6 Euroleague player from big club = 6 and 2 NBA player :rolleyes But as you can see even in NBA playoffs Scola was 14 and 9 player as a rookie.

You need to learn about the stats difference between NBA and big Euroleague clubs before you keep say all this same crap here all the time. Just like in Bourousis thread people are say same retarded shit.

Just look at Tiago Splitter in TAU (a big Euroleague club) his career numbers is 9.8 PPG and 4.7 RPG 10 and 5 player. So stats is NOT the same as in NBA. Same thing with Vassilis Spanoulis as you can see 12 and 4 type of point guard in a big Euroleague club is the best guard numbers in the history of the best European club of the last 20 years. Yet so many fans here says these are "bad stats".

I am hope now that after Luis Scola situation that Spurs fans will finally understand this that you can see what 15 and 6 player Luis Scola in big Euroleague club can do in NBA. And maybe this will also show some of you how things some of you say to posters like me and some others here is so retarded.

[mazerrackham]

I will show you idiots how foolish you look...

Just like how idiots never could learn about Scola...

Just like in Bourousis thread people are say same retarded shit...

Dumbest post anyone has ever made in forum. Kudos to you sir...

what IQ do you have? absolutely nothing ...

You are a fucking dumbass...

Now all you fools here will have to apologize to me if this happen...

But I and some others here have said this so many times and we never get anywhere and instead we just get insults and call bad names and attacked by others here for say such things. As can see by discussions with Scola Spurs fans need to learn some things about game in Europe. This is prove by how any time a fan bring up a good player in Europe for Spurs they are always attack after some idiots looks up there stats in Europe.


Maybe you get insulted because that's what you're doing to other people instead of debating their points without questioning their intelligence...just a thought.

This is why we insult you..not because of your stats. You use the term SAVIOR, as posted in the thread title. The guy has never played a SINGLE GAME in the NBA and you're calling him a savior. So, are you saying that EVERY EUROPEAN PLAYER that has played in the NBA has been GREAT?! Wrong..most European players have failed in their attempts in the NBA. There are some that are great, ie, Manu, Scola, etc...but you can't say a guy who has never played in a league, that you don't even know if he'd be successful, is going to be a team's savior, and then, when we challenge that he'll be the savior, you insult us. You need to look in the mirror and realize, we aren't attack you, we're defending ourselves. Once again, I'll repeat what I've said before. We're not saying the guy wouldn't be good, and we're not saying he's not talented. We're just saying you can't say the guy is a damn savior when he hasn't played a game in the league yet. DONE! Can we PLEASE lock this thread now...it's ridiculous.

In the event that Bourassis comes over and actually joins the Spurs. An event that I give odds of 1:1,000,000 against then perhaps Bourassis or whatever his name is will be KBP's savior. lol.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

If Spurs want Bourousis they better hurry up now. Houston Rockets GM met him in person and offered him a good contract and guarantee to be in main rotation of the club.

Spurs better not blow chance to get him because Splitter may never come.

Really? Really now? Who's minutes is he going to take? Yao? Scola? You're an idiot. The feces that you continue to spew out of your mouth is BS, and everyone in here knows it. So, if you really have no life and want to continue making up crap that no one believes, that's fine. But just know that we are all laughing at you. :lmao

There is 15 minutes for him in rotation of Rockets being offered. When the GM of the club flies to other side of the world just to talk to you it is not bull shit as you like to make up. I believe Rockets GM has more important things to do then just fly to Athens for no reason to talk with him.

Explain to me how you know that the Rockets GM did this. Show me where you heard this, please. If you can show me, in English, proof of this, I'll apologize to you. There's no proof, there's no link, there's no nothing. And if an NBA franchise would go to the other side of the world and offer a contract to a player, it would be in the news. Show me the proof.

I know it for fact. I do not have to prove anything to you. I am not a liar even though I am always called one here. if you do not believe it then that is your choice. But it is true whether or so you believe or not and this is all that actually matters, not your own belief.

You know it for a fact? HOW?!? You see, on this forum, if someone says they know something for a fact, there must be proof. If you have no proof, no one believes you, because your knowledge of NBA basketball is zero. So, you said the Rockets GM went over there, and offered him money and is giving him 15 min per gm, even though there's no way IN HELL a GM would promise an unknown any amount of time in a game, especially when the team is on the rise like Houston. You can't do that, it's just bad business. He may be a complete flop, and then you have to give him the minutes you promised in the contract. That may be the way they do business in Greece, but not here. But you said he did that, so I guess we'll be seeing Bourousis in a Rockets uni real soon huh?

LOL..All I'm doing is repeating what you said. I do know this business. I know that a team competing for a championship, like San Antonio and Houston, would not go over and try to bring an unknown element onto their team and into their locker room and tell him he'll get 15 minutes per game. The NBA doesn't work that way. You can't guarantee a guy who's never played an NBA game 15 minutes a game when you're trying to compete for a title. It would destroy the chemistry in your locker room. Especially Houston. They've got a lot of talent in the bigs. Artest, Yao, Landry (when he gets back, get well soon, should be within a week), Hayes, Scola. No way you can take the minutes away from these guys who have worked their asses off and bring in a guy who may be a complete and total flop. Get a mind dude. Just because he plays for a Greek league doesn't make him a God.

Hi,

I watched the game and seen him play in Euroleague many times. He was great against Real Madrid and he is very good in Europe. But he is way too soft and slow for NBA. He would be pushed around and park himself to the 3-point line and be worthless for his team.

No he is not. He is not softer or slower for example than a player like Brad Miller. Not at all. You are just stating the normal nonsense. if he was black and from US he would be called "highly skilled".

After all if he is soft then surely Garrnet and Dirk is much much softer than him. And I assure you if anyone pushed Bourousis they will be regretting it.

:rolleyes You just can't take a hint, can you. Whether or not Bourousis is skilled and gifted, there's not a damn person in this forum that wants to talk about him. We're just about to start the playoffs..THAT'S what we're focused on. THIS team..nothing else. Thank you drive through.

I tell you fucking idiots Spurs NEED to get him. He is answer for them.

http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/48765/180/item

Ioannis Bourousis
Olympiacos

"Adding a breakout season to an already fine career, Bourousis paced Olympiacos in scoring and rebounding to lead the Reds to their first Final Four in a decade. He ranked fifth overall in performance index rating. On a per-minute basis, he was the Euroleague's best rebounder and second-rated player overall."

[Spursmania]

KBP, you do know that the FO does not listen to what you or this forum wants right? Give it a break.

Bourousis just had game in 26 minutes of play time - 21 points 19 rebounds and plus minus of +47 in Greek league playoffs.

Even though I am PAO fan I can admit we would have lost game if he was not sick. He play game with high fever and flu. He was not even suppose to play game but he begged coach Giannakis to let him play. Base on fact he play with over 100 fever and flu he have very solid game.

I am sure there is some Spurs players would not even attempt to play under such conditions.
