Yeah, 6'9" helps, but there are a LOT of 6'9" guys. How many?
Well in the
current NBA there are:
20 guys 7' or taller
12 guys 6'11"
25 guys 6'10"
23 guys 6'9"
So, he would be about 1 out of 80 guys at his height, or said differently almost 3 per team across the NBA.
There were 822 guys 6'9" or taller in the college ranks as of a couple years ago. That's just D1.
Not all of them have his ability to score 5 points per game at the A10 level.

You do know that Kostas would not be competing against NBA players every night while playing for the Flyers, correct? Let's call the A10 "slightly" less competitive than the NBA. Potential in the A10 <> potential in the NBA.
Just because my daughter has the potential to get a college soccer scholarship, do you really think that means I EXPECT her to captain the women's national team someday??
