Kostas Papanikolau: 'I will stay at least one more season in Europe'

Kostas Papanikolau in an interview to Eurohoops said that he will stay at least one more year in Europe before trying to go the NBA. The young Greek has a contract with Olympiacos till 2014 with a NBA buyout from 2013.

“The possibility of playing in the NBA is more than interesting to me and I think that I should test my skills in the USA. This is something that I owe to myself, but I am not in any kind of hurry! My agents and many NBA scouts that have approached me, believe that I will be benefited in every level by staying for the present in Europe. That’s my opinion too. I am not a specialist in anything, my game is still developing and I know that if I remain in Olympiacos under coach Ivkovic, I will become a much better player. I will see which team will pick me, I will stay at least one more season in Europe and then I will think about the possibility of going to the NBA”, says Papanikolaou to Eurohoops.
