Seems extremely raw, but has a nice wingspan, good body control, and speed uncanny for his size.

Kostas is already a plus rim protector as well. He averaged 2.8 blocks per 40 minutes, using his length and leaping ability to terrorize shots around the rim. He’ll need to add strength at the next level, but like Giannis, that will come in time.

Obviously his 3 point shooting, and same negatives that his brother Giannis shares, also seem to be applied here. But he definitely looks like he could really use some seasoning and coaching from Stevens, plus if he falls as a 2nd round pick, he could be stashed overseas or sent to the G-League to brush up his skills with Jay Larrañaga.

It's based on your perspective, quite simply

If he weren’t Giannis’ brother he wouldn’t even be getting workouts.  He was a 20-year-old freshman who was an okay reserve on a not-very-good mid-level college basketball team.  Hard pass.

Yep. He hasn't shown any capacity for even average basketball play
