Danny Ainge recently traveled to Greece to scout Giannis Adetokunbo, a 6-foot-10 point guard who plays for Filathlitikos in the Greek A2 League.

With Ainge looking on, Adetokunbo scored 19 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and recorded 2 steals in the championship round of the Greek League.

Afterwards, Ainge was quoted by Greek media as saying Adetokundo reminded him of a young Scottie Pippen.

Teletovic Has No Plans To Return To Euroleague

Apr 4, 2013 12:27 PM

Mirza Teletovic is not considering leaving the Brooklyn Nets after this season.

“No,” he said flatly about going back to Europe, where Teletovic was last season’s leading scorer of the Euroleague. “Never going to happen.

“I’m going to prove some stuff.”

Teletovic has remained positive despite seeing limited minutes.

“You have to deal with it. It is what it is,” Teletovic said. “You have to learn from it and be ready every time you get in and try to do your best.”
