Spain crushed Greece 82 - 64.
N.Calathes showed once more a solid effort, this time in extended playing time. Good passing skills, good ball handling(only one TO, a Rubio-steal, in 24min), solid defense, but no efficient scorer, although he managed to be his teams second leading scorer with 10 points on 4/10 shooting, along with 4 rebounds(3 Off.), 2 assists and 2 steals.

In March, he declared himself for the draft but, unhappy with his 45th pick, he chose to sign a 3-year deal (for supposedly €2.1 million) with Panathinaikos. He received his Greek passport on June 30th. His foot speed is solid but his athleticism is a concern.

this is news to me, as I was under the impression he signed a one year deal.
Financially, 3years/2,1million doesn't sound like a far superior offer.
Serbia plays Slovenia right now, to determine the second finalist.
I hope Serbia advances, as they have shown in their opener that Spain is beatable, although I'm not very optimistic about their chances of repeating that.
