So....... here we are... season 8... here there are my choices for next national team of Cyprus!!! And..... let's goooooooooooooooooo Lions!
Stratos Akoulis: I hope he could still improve during this year thanks to his coach Van Helsing, I hope but he has never answered to me... if Van Helsing goes, Akoulis goes!
Loukianos Dramalis: incredible player! He could play 4 spots as drinking water... it's easy for him doing... EVERYTHING! If he still improves, we have an amazing All Around player, do you know Magic? :-)
Lakis Flokas: shooter, driver, inside player, shooting guard or small forward in the case... important addition thanks to bluefresika (Spain) for this National Team.
Diogenis Gaganitis: finally I've spoken with atimos!!! :-) and I hope that my suggestions could improve his way to train and improve his player, Gaganitis too!
Haris Gavalas: his new trainer has granted me some training sessions and I hope these could be the minimum for his improvements during this season! Shooting Guard or Small Forward it doesn't matter...
Vaggos Genaridis: Tiryaki pay attention to his Game Shape please! Important player as Power Forward or Center, if I know if he could take some pop-up I should be happier
Yiorgos Kotsiras: I hope that Zacharias good give to him some improvements (mostly on O.D.). Could be my Shooting Guard :-) Driving and Shooting is his work = points points points! (percentage? we hope!)
Vlasis Kourmentalas: I prove him as Small Forward too and it was an interesting experiment. Three positions on my head for him and I hope that his Game Shape will be good during this season thanks to marinaki.
Argiris Ritsos: an amazing player by marinaki. He could play Power Forward or Center. That is important, so we can balance our team. Could he play as Small Forward too? We will see...
Dimitris Solomos: he was not a good player... 7 pop-ups during last year has mad him an interesting Guard (PG or SG, doesn't matter). A little bit worse of Gkounis and Lithopoulos, but I'm sure he will still trained during season 8! This is a great insurance!
Kleovoulos Tsoutsounelos: a lazy Center, he's always tired! :-) but when is on the court is pretty important on Defensive and Offensive phase. I hope, as I said for Gaganitis, that his training session could be changed during this season!
Vassilis Vlahos: I saw a pop up on I.S. if not I would choose Spetsiarias (of utah&jazzz), but I wanna give a chance to a well good trained player as Vlahos by a manager that I appreciate (filipinki by Polska).
THIS IS CYPRUS NATIONAL TEAM
http://i39.tinypic.com/2vuaeer.jpgOther players that are under CLOSE observation are:
Y. Liapis
(4156612)T. Gkounis
(6553078)T. Valsamidis
(4652374)S. Karsiotis
(7529533)E. Papazachos
(6360572)S. Spetsarias
(5133667)They could be recruited during the consolation World Cup tournament if they will have pop-ups during this period. If someone of them don't grant me nothing interesting about improvement I could recruit U21 interesting players that Thecippis didn't recruit for U21 National Team.
This year I won't recruit and dismiss every week, I cannot... I will only free IMPORTANT PLAYERS for the future Cyprus National Team
Thanks to all coach that train this players until now and I hope they will continue on doing this!
