Antonios Fotsis - EuroBasket 2009 Profile

Team 2006-07: DYNAMO MOSCOW (Russia-Superleague)
Career: Ilisiakos (Greece-A2, 1994-97), Panathinaikos (Greece-ESAKE, 1997-2001), Memphis Grizzlies (NBA, 2001-02), Panathinaikos (Greece-ESAKE, 2002-03), Real Madrid (Spain-ACB, 2003-05), Dynamo Moscow (Russia-Superleague, 2005-07).

Antonis Fotsis' absence at EuroBasket 2007 with a finger injury was a hammer blow to Greece's chances because they missed his rebounding, shooting, interior defence and experience. Fotsis has a big wing span which helps him on defence and on the boards. He won EuroBasket gold with Greece in 2005 but was more prominent in Japan when he averaged 10.4 points and 4.2 rebounds to help the team reach the final. A European champion with Panathinaikos in 2000 and 2009, he was drafted by Memphis in the NBA and crossed the Atlantic but he spent his time there languishing on the Grizzlies' bench. To his credit, he put that disappointment behind him and returned to Europe to become a big star and contributor for Greece. Fotsis was outstanding at the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament as well as in Beijing.
