“I am excited and anxious to start this new chapter in my life,” said Hezekiah. “I’ve always loved the game of basketball and it’s a blessing to be able to continue this journey and play professionally in Greece.”
“We are so proud and happy for the opportunity that Matt has earned to extend his basketball career on the professional level in Greece,” said head coach Murray Garvin. “He is the first player to sign a professional basketball contract while I’ve been the coach and hopefully not the last to reach his dream of playing professionally.”
Hezekiah, a 6-11, 235-pound forward from Jacksonville, Fla., was a two-time All-MEAC Second Team pick and led the Bulldogs in scoring the past two seasons. He averaged with 12.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last season.
The Panionios Basketball Club is one of 14 teams in the EuroBasket A-1 Division, and is ranked the ninth-best team in Europe by Eurobasket.com.
