GS Iraklis BC Thessaloniki (Elite League) agreed terms with experienced 36-year old ex-international center Gaios Skordilis (207cm-1987, agency: Diamond Sports) for new 2024-25 season. It is actually his comeback to Thessaloniki as he has played here before. Skordilis played last season at Milonas in the Elite League. In 19 games he had 11.6ppg, 7.5rpg, 1.3apg and 1.3spg. He helped them to make it to the semifinals. 2023-24 was a great season as he was named to Eurobasket.com All-Greek Elite League Second Team.
Skordilis won Greek A2 Play-Off championship title in 2016 and 2017 and made it to the cup final in 2015 and 2016.
The previous (2022-23) season he played at U.M.F. Grindavik in Icelandic Subway League where in 22 games he recorded 13.4ppg, 8.5rpg and 1.7apg in that year. 2022-23 was a great season as he was named to Eurobasket.com All-Icelandic League Honorable Mention.
He was a member of Greek international program for some years. Skordilis was called to Greek Senior National Team in 2020 and previously for U20 National Team in 2006.
He has played also professionally in Canada (Alliance), Cyprus (Payabl EKA AEL Limassol) and Greece (Peristeri, Panathinaikos, Aris, Panionios and Apollon Patras).
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others he was voted Eurobasket.com All-Greek A2 Center of the Year back in 2018.
Skordilis is close to retirement age as a player. It’s very possible he may end his playing career at Iraklis. He won Greek A2 Play-Off championship title in 2016 and 2017 and made it to the cup final in 2015 and 2016.
