Guys in the NBA can shoot. Really, really, really well. KA shot 57% from the floor (layups), but 51% from the FT line and 2/15 from 3 (0.133). He can't shoot.

Collins shot 65% from the field, 48% from 3, and 74% from the line in his 1 year of college. THAT'S potential.

Smart NBA executives don't just say "he's tall and fast, draft him." There's only 2 rounds, right? In the NFL there are . . . what . . . 74 rounds and 18,000 players drafted? Sure they'll throw a draft pick at someone just to see how it pans out.
There's almost ZERO difference between the Greek Freak and Kostas from the 60 minutes feature when they showed Greek Freak as an 18 year old...In fact, I thought I was watching Giannis with the very lean body, incredibly high dribble, getting picked by the defender and then trailing the play and making a spectacular block at the other end which Kostas did more than a few times at UD. That, in and of itself, is enough to peak the eyes and ears of NBA GM's and toss an invite to him. NBA GM's would be stupid not to take a special look at Kostas. After all, who wants to be THAT team that passed on what could possibly be Greek freak 2. High chance? Absolutely not but what risk is there in drafting that kid in round 2 where few of these guys make it anyways or being at his front door 3 seconds after the draft is over and signing him as a FA should he not get drafted?

Whoever was/is trying to compare Collins to Kostas, well, that's a bad comparison. Collins showed great footwork in the NCAA where he was show-cased quite a bit and played excellent all the way to the finals.....Once could watch him and say THAT guy is NBA ready and within a couple years can be a solid NBA contributor..
