I think Thanasis could be a competitive player in the NBA, but it seems like he's not really trying or wanting to be. I wouldn't be surprised if he's happy with his current position on the team because all he has to do is attend workouts, and for that, he gets a couple of million dollars and a season ticket to a bench seat at courtside as well. That sounds like a dream job.
Well, greatness comes from working hard and having high aspirations and because they are already rich, I don't think he is motivated enough to improve his skills because Basketball is not his passion rather they only see it as a source of income and they are already getting it and the way he got his payment easily will not push him to practice some more basketball skills to be efficient whenever he is needed inside the court and we all know the politics behind the basketball games nowadays when you are not a star, you won't be getting enough minutes to showcase your skills anyway, so why bother to practice for more?
Why is he in the NBA if basketball is not his passion? I think the question here is whether he deserve to get sign or not for not getting minutes for the team. He was criticized, but it seems like he'll stay as long as Giannis will stay, he is part of the package, maybe a special package for a special player like Giannis. He is their to support his brother, I think emotionally and mentally he is making Giannis toughher and that job could be worth a milion dollar job too.
