Summary:
Omer Netzipoglou is an agile, skilled combo guard that recently played for AEK Athens. He is a skilled marksman that can knock down outside shots, and he also is a pesky defender that can pressure his man and force plenty of turnovers. He’s an unheralded prospect and isn’t an elite shot creator and will need to add more muscle to his frame, but his ability to shoot, defend, and make team plays could either enable him to make his way to the NBA, or to at least carve out a long and successful playing career overseas.
