After watching Andreas Glyniadakis play for the first time last night, it became obvious to me that he will NEVER make it in the NBA. He is way too slow. He moves around very awkwardly, almost robotic.

On the plus side, I did appreciate the fact that he seemed to really be giving 100% when he was on the floor. He was moving to the right spots, appearing to know the offense pretty well.

I wouldn't call him a bust because when you're taking a player towards the end of the 2nd round, it is usually a crap shoot. You can't blame Joe D and company for taking a chance on a 7-footer. At this point, though, the Pistons should just cut their ties with the guy.

I don't understand why they brought him into camp at all.

After not hitting the floor during SL, Joe said that they would make a decision about Paulding and Glynnie allowing them to pursue other bball opportunities.

Paulding was released but for some reason, Joe won't let this guy go.

Thank you for another great season!

Who would win a game of one on one between Eric Montross and Glynny?

Scary thought. I'll look for that one on pay-per-view.

Glynnie vs. Montross vs. Shawn Bradley

I think you're underestimating his athletisism... the scrimmage I saw he showed good quickness and open court running (albeit uncoordinated)... he's much quicker than some of the Euro sloths that have entered the association... he prolly had Darko disease yesterday... or as Manfred Mann says "blinded by the lights".

I'm gonna keep an open mind for a couple more games on the kid.

As the saying goes "You can't teach height"

Its Davidson's checkbook and the few minutes Glynny takes from other big guys this time of the year isn't going to hurt anything.

Wise to hang on to big men as long as there is a chance. The Cadaviers gave up too early on Bad Boy Bill and look what happened.

Glinny is still here because of two things:

1. He is big.

2. He didn't get too much time during summer league.

Paulding did and if I recall correctly didn't do too well and we didn't have a place for him. We're even having a hard time deciding on the last cut let alone have him.

Glinny on the other hand is a big man and could be used for that purpose.

But I agree. He isn't gonna stick around. He may have hidden athleticism and will make him into Shaq but he isn't showing it yet so unless he does and blows everybody away, he is gone.

kinda reminded me of Jim McIlvaine, still know that guy?

I think McIlvaine might still be getting paid by somebody in the NBA. What a bad contract that was!

Glyniadakis hasn't played all that much in Greece, so the Pistons are doing a courtesy to their draft pick by keeping him around for experience and exposure. It might help him raise his stock with other teams in Europe. Right now he's still not even listed on the team roster at pistons.com.
