Papagiannis sprint at 6:18 is at least impressive for a guy his size.

The problem with Greek teams is that they never have all pieces set everytime one piece is missed. For examble I would argue that in the previous eurobasket Greece had the most complete roster with Sloukas, Calathes, Papagiannis, Antetokoubros etc and still missed a key player like Mitoglou a heavy 4 and great 3point shooter that would have made the difference against Germany. Greece is also very unlucky that Germany got so hot handed in this game, if Germany had the 3 point percentage that had in the final with Spain (to be realistic we have to admit that Spain played better defense than Greece but Germany was also tired after the game with Greece) Greece would have taken the title (it finished 5th). This year we have a great defensive team, we arguably play the greatest defense we played the last 15 years or so, but we are missing scoring power, ability that Sloukas could provide but he is missing due to injury. I think this will be the biggest headache of Spanoulis how we find a consistent 3point scorer that will score even on a bad day of some other players, if he somehow manages to find a consistent play system and scorer (for examble Toliopoulos) then Greece is a medal contender.

I think indeed this is the best Greek team with Yiannis. I feel that previous coaches made plays especially designed to take advantage of Yiannis but Spanoulis integrates Yiannis to his vision for this team. As a result the game plan is more cohesive.

"I think the show is fantastic. You analyze things very seriously and very objectively. I wonder why there aren't more shows like this. Keep up the good work because, among other things, we also learn about basketball through your analyses. Well done!"

thank you!

What I like about this new Greek national team is that at last they play with offensive and defensive plays. Coach Spanoulis, like Olympiacos' coach Bartzokas, seems to have quite an arsenal of plays for each one of his players. Giannis is a global superstar and I can understand the pressure he might feel to win a trophy with the national team. But this time we have a coach who can easily use Giannis' tremendous talent. Not to mention that Giannis, during this tournament, was out of rhythm (a result of his injury and prolonged absence off the court) but still he was a threat for every opponent. A healthy and ready Giannis, under Spanoulis guidance, will boost the entire team.

Since Sloukas is not going to be there, the squad environment is going to be fantastic! I have high hopes for this team

@akhsdenlew1861

Sloukas is a ridiculusly good player though.. he led panathinaikos The king, back to it's throne.

Papagiannis has significantly improved this year. He can shoot, he can hedge... Not a liability any more. Everybody gives their best to make the defensive plan work. It is a Team, finally. Let's see...

Very good points, and very thorough analysis. I think this is the best leveraging of Giannis ever seen so far, allow me to say not only in the Greek team but in the NBA as well, I would expect the same plays only in a Popovich team.

Itoudis and other coaches of Greece tried to just have Giannis gather people around him and hope for free shots if he threw the ball to a free player. However, Spanoulis has usually 2 creative PG that look for free players before Giannis gets the ball. And Papagiannis is given more freedom to stay far away from Giannis. If the other center guards Giannis, Papagiannis is free to shoot for 3. And if a 2,20m guy has no one close to him guarding him he basically shoot entirely free. It's a bit like Wemby shooting. Although the two starting guards of Greece, Calathes and Walkup arent' the best of shooters, the rest of the team have the space and permition to shoot for three, a lot.If you decide to guard them you leave space for Giannis which is never smart. Defensively Greece is pretty good too, Spanoulis had a tough defensive team with Peristeri anyway. The group of Greece is very strong but I think it can make it to semifinals. Not the best of teams but a very hard team to beat.

Greece is going to be in the medals, mark my words.

Really good and informative analysis Augustas. I think the main difference compared to previous years, even though this roster has some weaknesses and absentees, is that Spanoulis has actually sat down and thought about how to utilise Giannis in the best way possible, whilst not making the rest of the team feel like they're just there to make up numbers. Whilst we had some decent coaches in the past, they were not able to incorporate Giannis in a meaningful way most of the time and the team essentially boiled down to "give the ball to Giannis and cross your fingers". Worked great when the opposition didn't/couldn't deal with him in an efficient way but only then. Having players that were of top euroleague calibre and reducing them to just "pass to one guy and stay out of the way" was abhorrent. Spanoulis commands the respect of the whole team and has a winning mentality, which helps by itself. Combine that with making everyone in the team feel useful, having plays that use Giannis as a distraction to create for the rest of team and also letting Giannis do his thing when he can, and you get a good team. It also helps that Calathes seems to somehow, at this age, play the best basketball of his career, Papagiannis adding a 3pt threat and a few other bits and pieces, and this team is fun to watch, as well as having the ability to always turn the defensive screws on when things in attack are not going too well. Nevertheless, I think that even going through the group stage is going to be a challenge, with the likes of Canada, Australia and Spain. Running the floor against Canada (a mini-USA team) is not going to work too well I think. Australia is full of NBA players, even if they aren't as good as in previous iterations and Spain is maybe average in terms of roster, but Spain is Spain. Our frontline is somewhat weak in numbers (especially if Kostas Anteto is injured) and whilst having big men that stretch the floor is good when Giannis is on the court, it doesn't work as well when he isn't (and we don't have a traditional C that can play with his back towards the basket). Would have liked to also have Sloukas on the squad (not so much for his creativity, I think that's well covered with Calathes and Walkup, but mostly for his scoring) but injuries are part of the game unfortunately.

Of course it is the best team with Giannis. It is the first time that Giannis appears to be included in the team plan.

Outstanding analysis! Could not agree more with every single point you have made. Greece can and should improve you are absolutely right., Spanoulis as a coach seems to utilize his bigest asset as a player, often overlooked by basketball experts. This asset is situational awareness in play making, making sure everyone gets the task the can succed in.

Love the breakdowns Augustus! All the best from Indiana.

Walkup-calathes-Papanikolaou-Giannis-Papagianis is a top tier 5 squad with an active Nba player and 4 that passed from NBA and now top range Euroleague players . Adding to that Mitoglou, Larentzakis,Charambopoulos, Toliopoulos, Kostas ante if he plays sure Greece has very good players overall Nba, euroleague , defensive players ,passionate players sure a player to change the rythm like Dorsey is missing or a tool and cheerful guy like thanasis but it is what it is . The big star for sure its tha coach that has understand his players . As a Greek they only thing I want is the team to fight every game and we see. No big talks

The title is misleading, Spanoulis made the big difference. The national team has echoes of Peristeri, a very team orientated mentality, Antentokoumpo would take his shots only if he has the best shot in a possession. He would go to the bench also when he's not the best option like it happened against Croatia when it was crucial to get Saric/Zupac out of the paint and Spanoulis CHOSE to play with Mitoglou/Papagiannis and Antentokoumpo on the bench.

Credits to their defense it really made them the best team out of the group

Also, he (and almost every European player), needs to visit the gym more. Excellent talent and skills for so many guys but couldn't compete at the same level at NBA just because of that. Having +10 inches(25cm) vertical, +30lb(13.5kilos) more of muscles and spending more time training, would make all the difference since NBA is 95% super athletes (and also very talented too!). Even if you are more talented, you can't play defence if train of muscles is coming towards you or if they are physically that much better than you (try defending Curry running circles non-stop and being lighting fast at shooting)

2008 Greece didn’t have a NBA Superstar like Giannis but they had a better team in the overall, coming from a Eurobasket tile and a World Cup final, Late 1980s Greece led by Galis, Giannakis and Christodoulou were legendary but not really comparable to nowadays game, this Greece is in a really difficult group, had lots of trouble in previous tournaments leading to early exits. The fair comparison would be if they could eliminate a team like 2008 Argentina and play a quarterfinal, that’s when this Greece can get in the convo, better than the recent years, lots of grounds to cover to reach the heights of 1987-1989 and 2005-2007

To be fair the version with Itoudis was also awesome throughout the Eurobasket tournament, they just happened to run into Germany on one of their best shooting nights ever. This version also looks great but the bench is very thin, this team is really 7 players (all due respect to Larry and Toliopoulos but they shouldn't really be playing so many minutes).

Itoudis' Greece had one flaw. If Giannis didn't perform the whole structure collapsed. We saw it in that apocalyptic 3rd quarter against Germany. This team looks to be different. We shall see though, the Olympics are still ahead.

to be fair the version with Itoudis was a copy paste version of the Bucks and a bad one being soft and no defense while on offense running in theory all the plays of the Bucks while in reality even worse "give the ball to Antentokoumpo". Also our bench is not thin at all, Larentzakis and Toliopoulos played well and they will play even better as well as Charampopoulos! Our bench is the strongest we had in years.

Aren''t you foreigners getting a little confused when there's a name Giannis but there's another dude with surname Papagiannis? I would be thinking wtf is going there in Greece.
