Nikos Rogkavopoulos, the 24-year-old international guard-forward from Baskonia, has officially joined Panathinaikos, as confirmed on July 27, 2025. After missing out on Jonas Valančiūnas, the Greens activated their Plan B, securing the player with a four-year contract following successful negotiations with Baskonia, marking a significant boost to their EuroLeague roster.
Stellar 2024-25 Season with Baskonia
Last season, Rogkavopoulos excelled with Baskonia in the EuroLeague, averaging 9.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. His consistent play and sharp three-point shooting have established him as a rising star, making his arrival a strategic addition to strengthen Panathinaikos with a homegrown talent.
Tactical Fit for Panathinaikos’ Lineup
Paired with Cedi Osman at the “3” position, Rogkavopoulos brings reliability and offensive firepower, enhancing Panathinaikos’ versatility. Club owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos’ persuasive efforts, including a substantial fee to Baskonia’s Josemaría Querejeta, underscore the team’s ambition to dominate the 2025-26 EuroLeague season with this key signing.
