Kevin Pangos

Kevin Joseph Pangos (born January 26, 1993) is a Canadian-Slovenian professional basketball player for GeVi Napoli of the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA).

[6] Growing up, Pangos' biggest inspiration was Steve Nash, a Canadian who developed into one of the NBA's top point guards and a two-time MVP.

"[8] Although he played for various national and provincial youth squads, he frequently trained alone or with his father, as he found relatively little high-level competition in Ontario.

In his grade 12 season, he led Denison to the OFSAA Triple-A title game where he scored a game-high 26 points in a 69–64 loss to Anderson CVI.

[9] Sources: Pangos received offers from several NCAA Division I schools including Michigan, Temple, UNLV, Portland, and Cincinnati.

[8] In his second NCAA game against Washington State he scored 33 points and tied a school record with nine three-pointers made in an 89–81 victory.

This game kicked off a stellar 2011-12 freshman season at Gonzaga, as Pangos led the team in many statistical categories including points, assists, steals, minutes played, 3-pointers made, and free throw percentage.

[22] He had an exceptionally productive season in Russia, making the All-EuroLeague First Team in the process and averaging 13.5 points and 6.6 assists per game.

On July 27, 2022, Pangos signed a two-year contract with Olimpia Milano of the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA) and the EuroLeague.

[26] At the beginning of his second season with the Italian powerhouse, he fell out of favor with head coach and president of basketball operations Ettore Messina and continued training separated from the active roster.

[27] Pangos played for the 2009 Canadian Cadet Men's National team that won bronze at the 2009 FIBA Americas Under-16 Championship, where he averaged 18.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 3.2 steals per game.
