Source-derived summary

Nikolaos Agapitos Rogkavopoulos (alternate spelling: Rogavopoulos; Greek: Νικόλαος Αγαπητός "Νίκος" Ρογκαβόπουλος; born June 27, 2001) is a Greek professional basketball player for Panathinaikos of the Greek Basketball League and the EuroLeague. He is a 2.03 m (6 ft 8 in) tall small forward.

Youth career

Rogkavopoulos played from a young age with the youth teams of Doukas, before he started his pro career. In 2016, the Spanish club Real Madrid offered Rogkavopoulos an amateur contract, but he decided to stay in Greece, rather than move to Spain. He played at the Jordan Brand Classic's International Game in 2017.

Professional career

Rogkavopoulos made his professional debut with the Greek 2nd Division club Doukas, in a game against Ethnikos Piraeus, in the Greek Cup in 2016. On July 13, 2017, Rogkavopoulos moved to AEK Athens, after he signed a six-year contract with the club, through the 2022–23 season. He spent the 2017–18 season playing with AEK's junior teams, and on the senior team's practice squad.

For the following season, Rogkavopoulos moved up to AEK's senior team, and he made his debut in Greece's top-tier level Greek Basket League (GBL), during the GBL 2018–19 season. He also made his debut in one of the two European-wide secondary level competitions, FIBA's Basketball Champions League (BCL), in the BCL 2018–19 season.

Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Nikos, Rogkavopoulos and Greek providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Nikos Rogkavopoulos”, the useful work is to connect “greek basketball player (born 2001)” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q33079662. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2016, 2017 and 2022.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
