Summary:

Michalis Lountzis is an athletic, combo guard that was an early-entry candidate for the 2017 NBA Draft before later withdrawing. He has been a rotation player for several teams in the Greek League, but he did not see much playing this season.

He generally shot the ball well when he was on the floor, and he also is a fairly good defender. On the downside, he didn’t see the floor that much and currently doesn’t have much draft stock. Right now, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the 2020 draft.
