Robert Gilchrist is heading to Greece this season after joining newly promoted A2 side Peristeri GS Athens.

The 24-year-old impressed on his GB Senior debut in the summer after producing a solid display in the friendly against New Zealand. Gilchrist also starred in GB’s only win in three internationals with a double-double in the victory over Portugal.

Gilchrist spent his rookie season in Germany this past term in the Pro-B division with Karlsruhe. In 25 games, the 6’7″ forward averaged 6.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

The former Florida State graduate will look to have an even bigger role on his team this year as Peristeri GS Athens look to impose themselves in the Greek second division. Last season, they achieved promotion from the B League.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
