Newcomers to the Team
The 2020 Greece Basketball team has some new members that fans will be excited to see. The team has five new players this year, all of whom bring something different to the court.
First, there is Sofia Kalogirou, a point guard from Athens. She is one of the quickest players on the team and her agility will be a valuable asset on the fast-paced Greece offense.
Next is center Evita Karamanoli. Karamanoli is from Thessaloniki and at 6’4’’ she is one of the tallest players on the team. She uses her height to her advantage, averaging two blocks per game in her career.
Power forward Ana Drossos is another Thessaloniki native who will provide some much-needed size down low for Greece. Drossos is a strong rebounder, averaging 9 per game in her career.
Rounding out the group of newcomers is small forward Maria Chatzitheodoulou and shooting guard Anthi Chatzoglou, both of whom are from Athens. Chatzitheodoulou is a versatile player who can score inside and out, while Chatzoglou is an excellent shooter who will space the floor for Greece’s offense.
These five players will look to make an impact as Greece tries to make a run at the 2020 basketball title.

Coach’s Thoughts
As we near the end of the 2020 Greece basketball season, Coach George has some thoughts to share about this year’s team.
“It’s been a tough year for everyone, and our basketball team is no exception. We’ve had to deal with a lot of injuries, and we’ve had to rebuild our roster from scratch several times. But I’m proud of how our team has stuck together and kept fighting.
I think our biggest strength this year has been our versatility. We have players who can score inside and outside, and we have players who can play multiple positions. That’s been a big help when we’ve had to adjust our lineup due to injuries.
Our biggest weakness this year has been our lack of experience. We have a lot of young players on our team, and it’s showing at times. We’ve made a lot of mistakes that veteran teams wouldn’t make. But I think we’re learning from those mistakes, and we’ll be better for it in the long run.
Overall, I’m proud of how our team has represented Greece this year. We may not have won as many games as we would’ve liked, but I think we’ve made progress as a team.”
Predictions for the Season
The Greece Basketball roster for the 2020 season has been announced, and there are some changes from last year. Head coach Tom Izzo will have a lot of new faces to work with, but there are also some familiar ones. Here are our predictions for the season:
The Greeks will start the season strong with a win over their rivals, the Turks. This will set the tone for the rest of the season, and they will go on to win the majority of their games. They will lose a few games here and there, but overall, they will have a successful season.
Their biggest challenge will come in the form of the Greek National Team. The Greeks have been struggling in recent years, and they will be looking to bounce back in 2020. However, we believe that the Greek Basketball team will be up to the challenge and they will defeat the Greek National Team.
With a successful season behind them, the Greeks will enter the 2020 Olympics as one of the favorites to win gold. They have a deep roster full of talent, and they will be looking to prove that they are still one of the best basketball nations in the world.
