Pros: The Greek guard has a great shot for a rookie, he is very proficient from the free throw line. He can also hit jumpers from good range and beyond the arc. Panagiotis has very good passing for a rookie, enough that he could start. Giannakis is still raw defensively, but has potential to get better. The Greek has amazing quickness and is going to be hard to defend. If he improves even more Panagiotis could be the fastest guard in the league.
Cons: His biggest weakness, that hurts him now, is that he needs to improve his ball handling. Giannakis is going to turn the ball over a lot if he doesn't improve his handles quick. His inside game is way below average and won't be able to finish inside. The Greek's defence is very lacking and he could never really develop there, which could prevent him from being a starter.
Overall: The biggest question with Giannakis has to be how much potential does he have, will he develop into a starter or a role player. On draft day I suspect he will slide. However, his skillset makes him useful as a back-up off the bat. For a rebuilding team he could be a good risk to take with a later pick. His defence is hard to predict, hopefuly he develops enough to play an important role on a team.
Pick Projection: 20-32
