Panathinaikos OPAP Athens center Georgios Papagiannis enjoyed a career-best 2021-22 season that earned him All-EuroLeague honors as he made statistical history.
Papagiannis, 25, became only the fourth player in competition history to lead the EuroLeague in both rebounds (8.2 rpg.) and blocked shots (1.7 bpg.). He joined some fine company in that club with Arvydas Sabonis, Ekpe Udoh and Andrei Kirilenko. And he did so by becoming the first player this century to average better than 8.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in a single season.
