(By Chris Mammides)
Naz is a talented combo guard who learn all the secrets of basketball from an early age. He has great basketball skills in all the aspects. One of the top prospects out of Canada. He ranked as the 7th-best player in Canada according to North Pole Hoops. He has a body which helps him a lot in both guard positions. He is very smart player with very high Basketball IQ. Very strong first step and has very good penetration. He can organize his team with a lot of success and quality as many times he plays at the point guard position with his very good skills in dribbling and successful use of both hands. Panos has great vision of the court and helps him a lot in assisting his team-mates for the easier basket. He is stubborn and persistence player and can really do the dirty job in the court with very positive results. He can score, organize, and play really good defense. Played in all 36 games, making seven starts and establishing himself as a clutch 3-point threat ... averaged 7.1 points per game and shot 40 percent from behind the arc ... was fourth in the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage (40.0) and seventh in 3-pointers made (1.8) ... scored in double figures in 11 games ... his 64 3-pointers ranks as the 17th-most by a Cyclone in a single season ... made at least four 3-pointers in seven games ... hit a 30-foot three at the buzzer to send the Cyclones to overtime against Oklahoma State. He will definitely play for the bigger league upon time comes.
