PLAIN TWP. When Kosta Koufos is picked in the upcoming NBA Draft, he very well could become a rare internationally marketed player. Koufos, whose mother is a native of Greece, could play on the Greece national team in the Olympics. He already is well known and adored there.
But Koufos didn't have to look far to find an agent to represent him here and abroad. Mark Termini, one of the NBA's most respected agents, was just up the highway.
Kathy Koufos confirmed Thursday that Termini has been hired to represent her son, an athletic 7-footer who is an intriguing 19-year-old draft prospect. Kosta Koufos was unavailable for comment. Termini's agency is based in Brecksville.
"We are very pleased with the relationship we're developing with Mark," Kathy Koufos said. "He's very professional and very down to earth. He's very ethical.
