2016 NBA Draft: Hardest names to pronounce, ranked

8. Georgios Papagiannis, C, Greece

Now that NBA announcers have gotten used to saying “Giannis Antetokounmpo,” they need to brace themselves for one of his fellow countrymen perhaps joining the league on draft night. Georgios Papagiannis, a gargantuan 7’2″, 240-pound specimen who played for Panathinaikos in Greece this past season, has already worked out for the Phoenix Suns and will visit with the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons as well, per Marc Spears of The Undefeated.

Thanks to Antetokounmpo, announcers will have a head start in terms of saying Papagiannis’ last name correctly if he does get selected on draft night, as the “Giannis” is pronounced the same way. They’ll have no such advantage with his first name, however, unless they’re native Greek speakers. When pronounced correctly, his first name sounds like “Yorgos,” which is bound to trip up broadcasters.

DraftExpress has Papagiannis going to the Indiana Pacers with the 50th pick in its latest mock draft, while CBS Sports’ Sam Vecenie has the 18-year-old ranked 53rd on his big board. His per-game statistics from this past season don’t jump off the screen—between the Greek League and Euroleague, he averaged 5.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in only 10.5 minutes—but his size alone may be enough to entice a team to use a second-round pick on him, particularly if he impresses during workouts over the coming days.

If all else fails, a flustered announcer could always resort to calling him “Greek Freak II: Electric Boogaloo” once he gets selected on draft night.
