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 Giannis. 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 Giannis, 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..
Much truth there, in that I think there is relatively little difference between 100 guys not getting drafted and the guys playing in the NBA except for desire and attitude. So, Giannis having the right work ethic and attitude makes him NBA first team, while another 6'10" guy with the same physical ability who is too much of a headcase to work hard is an assistant coach at a DIII school somewhere in Iowa.

But still, Giannis has a nice stroke. Kostas can't hit water from a boat.
