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

Kostas Papanikolaou - F - Trail Blazers

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.

Kostas Papanikolaou - F - Trail Blazers

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

Papanikolaou is seen as someone either team could stash overseas and wouldn't be forced to commit to this season.

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Damian Lillard
	2	Eric Maynor
	3	Nolan Smith Sidelined Nolan Smith, an unrestricted free agent, will not return to the Blazers next season. "They have a path they want to go down, and it's pretty obvious I'm not on it right now," Smith said during his exit interview. Smith added the team made it "pretty clear" that they don't want him to return, and now Smith will be playing with a chip on his shoulder wherever he lands. Right now, he's best known as the guy drafted ahead of Kenneth Faried in 2011. Apr 30
SG	1	Wesley Matthews Sidelined Wesley Matthews (elbow) has been cleared to shoot following surgery. Matthews had arthroscopic surgery in late May, so it's great news that he's already been cleared to shoot and has had the stitches removed. He's expected to be full strength well before training camp arrives. Jun 11
	2	Will Barton
	3	Elliot Williams Sidelined Elliot Williams says his torn Achilles is healed, but he has to strengthen the muscles around it. Williams is scheduled for free agency but said the Blazers told him they'd like to have him back next year. He'll likely play for Portland's summer league team while trying to earn a spot on the roster for next season. Once the No. 22 overall pick in 2010, Williams has been sidetracked by injury problems and will have to stay healthy before proving he has any sort of fantasy value. Apr 18
SF	1	Nicolas Batum Sidelined Nicolas Batum (shoulder, wrist) said he plans on joining the French National Team in July. Batum's injuries were bad enough that he sat out the final eight games of the season. However, it looks like he'll avoid surgery and should enter next year at 100 percent. Batum and Kevin Durant were the only players to average at least one block, one steal and one 3-pointer this season. He's a second-round fantasy pick at worst in 2013-14. Apr 23

	3	Sasha Pavlovic
