Solid-as-a-rock Pelagia Papamichail offers Greece a post player who can score effectively, but her work on the boards is definitely the jewel in her crown. At EuroBasket Women 2009 in Latvia she claimed 73 rebounds which was almost double the haul of anyone else on the roster. Consequently, the minutes she is afforded by Coach Missas are understandably high and she remains one of the core players of the team. Now 26-years-old, she has good experience at the senior National Team level, building on her successful youth career while at club level, she has spent time playing in EuroLeague Women and EuroCup Women in addition to winning trophies early in her career in the Greek league. She knows what it takes to win and is most definitely a tough opponent for anybody.
