U16 OVERVIEW

Eleftherios Mantzoukas name emerged really quickly. He surpassed Giorgos Papagiannis and became the youngest ever Greek player to play and score in Top division (14 years 6 months and 7 days). Shortly after talented prospect produced 12 points vs European powerhouse Olympiacos Piraeus. He also had early showings on international youth scene – AdidasNGT tournament with 3 years older players and Adidas All-Star international game in 2002 generation roster. He picked up the basketball when he was 6 in Ioannina from where he transfered to Promitheas Patras at the age of 12. Mantzoukas is quite well rounded forward. He seems a bit early developed from physical standpoint but his mindset is what makes him mature way above peers level. He is not only fearless and able to make plays with confidence but also has very professional habits & work ethic. Mantzoukas also possess above average dribbling and IQ for 14yo player standing at 6’8. It is easy to label him as future member of domestic Euroleague teams but it’s too early to judge his possible NBA output.
