Greek Nikos Pappas ('90), who plays at Kolossos loaned from Bilbao (ACB), used his motivation last week-end to make his best performance of the season at Greece. Panathinaikos is the worst opponent, Zeljko Obradovic team won easy (92-60), but the prospect scored 16 points (6/10 FG and 2/3 FT), grabbed 1 board and dished 1 assist in 23 minutes. Local center Giorgi Shermadini ('89) also tied his season-high in points (11).

Pappas led Greece last summer to the silver medal in the U-19 World Championship with 15.6 points and a 51% at three points line.
