I dismiss our "big" players for the end of this season and he will recruit some 18-19 years old to let free on Transfer Market...

Moreover I will recruit for scrimmage match some players of future interest (maybe u21 of next season) or players that improve a lot during this season or expert players of national interest that wasn't involved during this european qualification.

Steve Makis

Cyprus NT Manager

Yiorgos Chasiotis (8435617) -> good Small Forward. I hope he will raise on shot... at 23 y.o. could we see again on NT... may be

Stilianos Avdikos (8238514) -> I told you that maleshka is a great trainer! He will play as PF, but sometimes he could be for next u21 an interesting SF for Look Inside offense.

Yiorgos Sarioglou (6892183) -> I love Harry Kewell wasn't interested on him, but after some season someone was and now he's got this chance

Michalis Eftaras (6892196) -> I presented him at 18 y.o. as the Small Forward of the future... he really could be!

Alkis Maladenis (7759173) -> 7 pop-ups this season and now is a really interesting perimetric Small Forward

Thanos Kakarnakis (8238443) -> he's a great defender and a good shooter, his potential means future, but even the present is good

Zachos Tsakalidis (8238516) -> he's a complete big man of 20 y.o. I think that next season could be a gregarious of next u21 NT

Kostas Papazisis (8238542) -> A really big surprise for me, tursun hide me him, but I found him and I'm pleased about this great and young shooter (we're waiting for defense!)

Aris Papanikos (8238648) -> Incredible and complete Point Guard. He's the best defender of these 11 recruited for the next match.

Pigmalionas Leptokaridis (9009409) -> The second surprise of the last updating... a "phantom user" has created this shooter in the paint!

Isidoros Mastroyiannis (9730194) -> The "baby" of this group. Only 18 y.o. but he's really complete, he will play as PG, but MVP potential grants an important future!

Stilianos Avdikos (8238514) -> I told you that maleshka is a great trainer! He will play as PF, but sometimes he could be for next u21 an interesting SF for Look Inside offense.

Pleasure to see it! Avdikos wil probably get Rebound training next season on C position to become a balanced PF.

Some players have been moved to "waiting room", a page of our data base that allow us to follow these players, but they will be checked only at the end of the season. If these players have been trained during the season they will stay on the data base, if not they will be erased, let's check players (and users!) that won't receive my (or The Cippis or... who will be next U21 coach...) updating mail of season 10, good luck everyone:

Speaking about senior team I've to thanks some managers:

Atimos for giving us Tsoutsounelos and Gananitis, really amazing defensive players.

tursun for giving us Spetsiarias, player of great scoring skills, but game shape hasn't been so good during these seasons and he's not a good rebounder.

Malina has spent many years on training Patsatzis, but last season hasn't been the best and he losts the opportunity to be on NT

Filipinki has trained a great player for Cyprus history, Vlahos. One of the best Cyprus rebounder, not a great scorer. He plays the last match on NT with a 11.0 evaluation. Always in a good game shape, when recruited!

athbarna gives to Cyprus Papitzakis, point guard... he's been for many years the reserve of Atmatzidis, he's young, may be next season he could be interesting for NT if trained by the right way... we will see.

gas for training Sotirakopoulos. He was always one step back best 21 years old players and he has been never recruited during qualification round even if he does a good work.

NEXT NATIONAL TEAM

Y. Kaikas, A. Atmatzidis, D. Florakis, L. Dramalis, Y. Pitsikokos, Y. Lavdas are sure to be on National Team since the beginning of Consolation World Tournament

P. Zampetas, A. Ritsos, V. Genaridis, A. Feloukas, V. Kourmentalas, N. Pararas, K. Kampolis, D. Solomos, Z. Gagalatos, V. Karalikos, M. Ketikidis are good to be all on NT, but I will recruit 6-9 players between them during first matches.

Y. Kotsiras, S. Karsiotis, G. Sougklakos, Y. Chasiotis, Y. Gavalatos starts a little bit behind. Kotsiras and Karsiotis need a lot of defense, Sougklakos and Chasiotis need to be completed as SF (first one on Inside Skills, second one on Shooting, both...) and... Gavalatos is behind both as SF and PF (or C), so he needs a lot of training but age and potential are good, so I hope he will continue to be trained.

What players needs?

- to be trained! Continue training these players, please.
- to stay on a good game shape during the season (8 - strong or 9 - proficient), playing between 48' and 84' per week (no more! nor less)
- to have a contact with me, during the season, weekly, daily, monthly, but I need to know if you wanna train them, what you wanna train, if you wanna sell them, if I know something interested that could buy them

and I hope....

- ...i hope to that user of these players will be interested on reading Cyprus forum and interact with me and some cypriot people about national team and BB in general

My second mandate is going to the end, but I will try again... for the last two seasons. I anticipate it, so everyone could think about his candidature.

Steve Makis

Every player has been dismissed in order to prepare for the new team for me or for any other new coach.

Good luck everyone for the election

Good luck to you!

Good luck to you!

Everything is going right... but now... we have to speak about National Team...

This season will be important and will be another test for Cyprus NT... we are on the Pool F with Deutschland (9), Belgium (10), Danmark (33), England (38), Sakartvelo (57), we are 59th, Shqipëria (72) and Ireland (75).

This is a "good" pool for us... not easy at all, but with team that are not devastating. We will try to do our best with the dream of a second place!

National Team... who's in , who's out? I will recruit players on Sunday December 27th... Some players are surely in and I mean A. Atmatzidis (6166959), Y. Kaliasis (7529531) and Y. Kaikas (4652370)... other are in the game.

Guards: Y. Lavdas (6253133), Y. Pitsikokos (5134912), A. Feloukas (6553067), N. Pararas (6106020), P. Zampetas (6242147), A. Kostis (6895171), L. Dramalis (4652354), M. Kopanidis (6895181), N. Poulakis (7757368)

Forwards: N. Pikoulas (6924283), M. Ketikidis (4652397), G. Sougklakos (7119055), I. Kalpadakis (6892181), D. Florakis (4652376), A. Ritsos (5295247), S. Karsiotis (7529533), M. Papanogiotou (6895175), M. Eftaras (6892196)

Centers: V. Genaridis (4135569), I. Kraidis (6924314), Y. Dontas (7589199), Z. Gagalatos (6895165)

V. Kourmentalas (5295236) and V. Karalikos (6470627) will be out of rotation, but thank you to fromastaflex and JohnnyB for these seasons on NT and their training sessions.
