In the most recent stretch of games, Georgios Papagiannis received his first chance at meaningful NBA minutes. Following suit from his fellow rookie teammates, the Greek big man took advantage of the opportunity.
Against the Thunder and Spurs, the rookie center had the best games of his young NBA career.
No. 13 averaged a double-double (10 points and 10.5 rebounds) over the back-to-back two-game tilt. This stretch included double-figure rebounds in each game, with a career-high 14 points and career-high 11 rebounds against the Thunder on Saturday.
The 19-year-old shot 8-of-17 from the field while displaying a repertoire of moves, hook shots and putbacks.
