Spanoulis: "Houston likes me a lot" <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">You were selected in the NBA Draft last year. Was that a surprise for you or were you expecting it? Vassilis Spanoulis: Not totally surprised, but a little bit because I hadn't not gone to the United States to take part in workouts like most players do. I went to the United States, but only to Detroit. And the reason was to see the Finals with some people there, not to work out for teams. Houston was finally the team that took me. They had been watching me for thee years, since we took the European Championship in Lisbon with Greece. I was surprised with that, because I was thinking Detroit would take me. I thought they were very interested. But Houston made a trade with Dallas and picked me ahead of the Pistons. And it was a pleasure that Houston did that. </div> Source Basically an interview with Spanoulis. Good read and talks about his future, his relations to Houston, and stuff like that. I can't wait to get him if he ever comes here. His contract is actually pretty cheap so I don't know what Spanoulis is doing there other than if Rockets actually wanted him in Europe.

He could really tear it up in Europe, and if we are as patient with him as the Spurs were with Manu, it could turn out really, really, nicely for us. I am hoping he is half as good as Manu was when they Spurs got him. Who knows, maybe he's our point guard of the future. A little wishful thinking never hurt anyone ..
