VTIME Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 http://nbadraft.net/articles.asp Ian Vouyoukas (Saint Louis) -- 7.33 ppg, 1.66 rpg, 69.2 fg%, 50 ft% -- Vouyoukas has some Vlade craftiness around the basket. But he lacks foot speed and rebounding ability. His body appears very flabby so his mobility and quickness would vastly improve if he got on the right weight training program. He should return to St. Louis for another year and work hard on his body, and he could get drafted next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfootes Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I don't think too many of us would disagree with that evaluation. Hopefully the experience help developed skills and will get him motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 V....Thanks for the post. If you read all 60 evaluations it reminds you just how good you have to be to get a spot at the end of an NBA bench......and another reason to get your college degree!

slufanskip Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 thanks for the info. As tseug. said below, it does show how good you have to play to make it in the NBA, even to ride the bench. Hopefully Ian takes heed and continues to work hard. I know he isn't really cut, but the flabby remark suprises me. It shows that as much as we have seen Ian improve over the last few years he still has some work to do. Official Billikens.com sponsor of H.

GV13 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 http://www.sport-fm.gr/news.jsp?newsID=48818 So you can rest your heads, Ian told the Greek Sports Newswire that going back to Greece is his last resort and that if he isn't sure to get drafted he will be back for a 4th year at SLU. He even said himself that he's not in great shape right now to compete but that he isn't stressed about anything. He's just in Orlando for an experience....

slu72 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 A little put off by the comment "with the right weight training"? You mean SLU's trainer isn't giving him the right weight training. One would have figured this would be "weight training for hoops 101". Seems like he had a pretty good showing overall, but not good enough. OK, IV come on home back to West Pine...hit the weights...practice your footwork...lead the Billikens to the NCAA...then take us to the sweet 16 and then go first round.

billiken_roy Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 i did not take that slam as one against our trainer. i took that comment to mean ian needs to put in the work. there are a million successful training programs out there. but none of them work without the athlete devoting the time and effort.
