    looks like colangelo wants to bring over another unproven euro in Georgios Printezis. most of the nba went euro a few years ago but most teams have realized europe simply lags behind the states in producing talent. although, colangelo has tapped into an anachronism once again to solve one of his current problems- apparently this dude is suppose to bring toughness.

    I was very uneasy initially with this guy but apparently he does bring toughness, and works hard. However, I don't want BC to think about this until the draft is over and we determine what we are going to do in Free agency, therefore if something breaks down this can be our fall back plan.

    I've heard positive things about him mostly. Dunno if he is a Garbo or a Slokar.

    I remember M2One liked him back when we drafted him. Thought he was more similar to Nocioni, than anybody. I'm not expecting a lot, but I'll keep an open mind.
