N.C. State in the running for Greek center
Posted Jul 1, 2015
Sports Illustrated’s Luke Winn wrote an interesting story on Greek center Georgis Papagiannis. The piece discusses the complex decision facing the 7-foot-1, 260-pound 17-year old. As a likely high pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, should he stay with Greek club Panathinaikos, where issues with playing time and Greece’s dire economic situation could be problematic? Or should he head to the U.S. and play a year in college? N.C. State is one of his four potential landing spots.
