Kostas Papanikolaou's agent expects the Blazers to trade his client.
"As of now, we don't have any sign that leads us to believe that Kostas will go to Portland," Sfairopoulos told CSNNW.com. "Therefore, we believe that he will not be in the plans of the organization next season and probably will be traded." He won the Rising Stars Trophy for 2012/13 while playing for Olympiacos, but it's not clear when or if he'll come to the NBA. May 23 - 12:13 PM

The Knicks drafted Kostas Papanikolaou with the No. 48 pick in the 2012 draft.

The fans who stuck around for the pick were less than thrilled to hear the name of an obscure 6'9" SF who played in Greece last season. He's an aggressive, hard-working player with a sweet shot, but he lacks athleticism and quickness, which makes him a questionable defender. If he makes the team he'll be little more than a spot-shooter off the bench.

Greek F Kostas Papanikolaou is drawing interest from both the Heat and Thunder in the first round of Thursday's draft.
