Additionally, Minnesota Timberwolves fans who want to know how Loukas Mavrokefalidis is doing are going to be similarly disappointed - Mavman was extremely bad in this game. In fact, the only two things he did well were freeze Javtokas on a backpick for a layup in the first quarter, and then hit a three with Marousi down 19 late. That's it. The rest of the time, he missed his shots (including a lefty hook shot that hit the side of the backboard), played weak defense, showed absolutely no agility, and was a non-factor on the boards. Mavrokefalidis is Marousi's leading scorer in both Eurocup and Greek league play, averaging 12.4 and 11.7 ppg respectively, but he was bloody awful in this one. And when the only thing that will ever get him into the NBA is his scoring, it's not good when it disappears so dramatically against quality opposition.

Big man Loukas Mavrokefalidis became the Week 6 MVP with a performance index rating of 34. Mavrokefalidis led Maroussi to a 72-83 road win against Chorale Roanne with 22 points on 8-for-11 two-pointers and 2-for-3 triples. He added 13 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal, a block and 2 fouls drawn, good for a 34 index.
