NIKOLAOS ARSENOPOULOS (6’5, Guard, Olympiacos) – Obviously not a discovery as he was one of the best players of Greece U16 back in the 2016 at FIBA European Championship in Radom. Nikolaos also has already made his debut with Olympiacos pro team. This tournament was his breakout performance and he showed enough potential to consider him soon to be full time rotation member of Greek powerhouse. Arsenopoulos is definitely not lean and lacks speed especially on defensive side of the court. However he makes great usage of possibilities that his body gives him. He possess great balance and ability to withstand the contact. Good understanding of the game shows also in choosing right moment to explode which allows him to blow defender by with not much burst. This combined with positional size, handles and craftiness as far as abilities to get downhill and finish go, make him a real scoring threat. Besides he is very good long distance shot maker and can share the ball in unconventional way. Highly skilled player with but somewhat passive off the ball. Non vertical – can hit the wall at times.

STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • good size for comboguard standing at 6’5
  • great scorer. Just puts the ball in the net. Makes tough shots. Finishes difficult layups
  • compact stroke with deep range
  • really skilled offensively in 1 on 1. Utilizes jump stops, hesitation dribbles, changes direction in the lane
  • ability to play as pick and roll ball handler
  • strong. Does great job maintaining his balance through contact
  • has notable vision. Able to make accurate and crisp cross court passes
  • poor lateral quickness
  • has too much fat in his body. Not a vertical player
  • gets in no way out situations at times
OUTLOOK
Nikolaos Arsenopoulos is highly talented guard. However there is a huge gap between his defensive and offensive contribution. He needs to find better balance in order not to harm his team on high level. With that adjustment he should be able to become rotation member of Olympiacos and maybe be given substantial minutes even in Euroleague.
