“Visits” are on a weekly basis and as we approach the draft day, interest for Giannis Adetoncubo will increase day by day. Representatives of eight different NBA teams (Pistons, Heat, Spurs, Grizzlies, Utah, Denver Cavaliers, Hawks) were present at the game of Filathlitikos against Kifisia on the 27th of April and three days later, three more teams sent their executives to Athens.
Timberwolves’ GM David Kahn, Suns’ scout Kornel David and Lakers’ scout Antonio Maceiras, watched the second final of the junior championship between Filathlitikos and Panathinaikos. It was the second time for Maceiras in the small gym of Zografou, as he had watched Giannis A practicing two months ago.
All of them took notes about the talented guard and now many more “spies” are expected on the 3rd final on Thursday in Panathinaikos’ home court.
