Nikos Rogkavopoulos

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.{{Cite web |url=http://www.basket247.gr/ellada/item/19118-sto-jordan-classic-camp-ksana-o-nikos-rogavopoulos-tou-douka |title=Στο Jordan Classic Camp ξανά ο Νικός Ρογκαβόπουλος του Δούκα {{in lang{{!}}el}}. |access-date=2017-07-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811224051/http://www.basket247.gr/ellada/item/19118-sto-jordan-classic-camp-ksana-o-nikos-rogavopoulos-tou-douka |archive-date=2017-08-11 |url-status=dead }}

Rogkavopoulos made his professional debut with the Greek 2nd Division club Doukas, in a game against Ethnikos Piraeus, in the Greek Cup in 2016.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/basket/rogkavopoylos-to-vaptisma-toy-pyros.8422852.html|title=Ρογκαβόπουλος: Το βάπτισμα του πυρός|website=www.sport24.gr}} On July 13, 2017, Rogkavopoulos moved to AEK Athens, after he signed a six-year contract with the club,{{Cite web|url=http://aekbc.gr/el/articles-1649/rogkabopoulo-ew-to-2023.htm|title=Ρογκαβόπουλος έως το 2023 |language=el}} through the 2022–23 season.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sportando.com/en/europe/greece/241068/aek-athens-signs-prospect-nikos-rogkavopoulos-to-a-six-year-contract.html|title=AEK Athens signs prospect Nikos Rogkavopoulos to a six-year contract Nikos Rogkavopoulos inks till 2023.}} 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. With AEK, he won the 2019 edition of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup, and the Greek Cup title, in 2020.

During the 2020–2021 season, Rogkavopoulos had a falling-out with the club due to playing time concerns as well as withheld contract payments, which ended in his suspension from the team for the rest of the season. In the 2021 offseason, all players under contract with AEK were released in order to be renegotiated under new terms, resulting in Rogkavopoulos's free agency.

In April 2020, Rogkavopoulos declared for the 2020 NBA draft.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/nikos-rogkavopoulos-declares-for-2020-nba-draft/|title=Nikos Rogkavopoulos: Declares for 2020 NBA Draft|date=April 17, 2020|website=CBSSports.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/nba-news/1050756/nikos-rogkavopoulos-declares-for-the-nba-draft/|title=Nikos Rogkavopoulos declares for the NBA Draft|date=April 15, 2020|website=Eurohoops}}
