high-effort Louisville big who brings toughness, efficiency, and late-season trust
In the 2025-26 season, Vangelis Zougris gave Louisville a rugged 6-foot-8, 240-pound frontcourt option who shot 57.1% from the field while averaging 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 27 games, including six starts. The selling points go beyond the box score: he’s been praised as a consistent spark for his passion, toughness, and intensity, and he showed enough versatility to chip in as a rebounder, passer, and defender when called on. If your team needs a physical, high-motor interior piece who competes hard and doesn’t need touches to matter, he’s your guy.
