}} Loukas Mavrokefalidis (alternate spelling: Mavrokefalides) (Greek: Λουκάς Μαυροκεφαλίδης; born July 25, 1984) is a Greek professional basketball who plays for AEK Athens of the Greek League. He was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2nd round (57th overall) of the 2006 NBA Draft. ==Professional career== Born in Jeseník, Czechoslovakia, Mavrokefalidis started his professional career at PAOK, moving to Thessaloniki from Kilkis, where his parents come from. From the first days of his professional career, PAOK coach Bane Preljević took advantage of his height and decided to play him at the center position which, as it was proved later in his career, fit him very well. A 2.10 m (6 ft 10¾ in) power forward-center, Mavrokefalidis played for PAOK in the Greek Basket League during the Greek League 2005-06 season, averaging 16.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. He played in the Greek All-Star Game and he won the Greek League's Most Improved Player Award that year.〔(Eurocupbasketball.com Article. )〕 After many months of hard work, Mavrokefalidis was almost always a member of the starting five in PAOK, creating havoc to the opposition's defense with his ability to get to the rim and make easy buckets or exciting dunks. He also became a defensive force, chasing down rebounds relentlessly, something that can be shown by the 8.4 rebounds per game that he averaged during the 2005-06 season. During the summer of 2006, Mavrokefalidis was signed by Virtus Roma of the Italian League, but he was not established as a key member of the team, averaging just 2 points and 1 rebound per game. In February 2007, he was traded from Roma to Pamesa Valencia of the Spanish ACB League in exchange for Roberto Chiacig and Jon Stefánsson. On July 12, 2007, Mavrokefalidis joined Olympiacos.〔(Mavrokefalidis Olympiacos BC's latest addition. )〕〔(Reds add Vasiliadis, Roberts, Mavrokefalidis )〕 In 2008, Mavrokefalidis moved to Maroussi.〔(Maroussi adds size with Loukas Mavrokefalidis. )〕 In 2009, he re-signed with Olympiacos through the 2010-11 season.〔(Euroleague.net OLYMPIACOS locks Mavrokefalides up till '11. )〕 In 2011, Mavrokefalidis was signed by the Russian League club Spartak Saint Petersburg〔(Eurocupbasketball.com Spartak St. Petersburg lands Mavrokefalidis. )〕 to a 2-year contract worth €2.4 million euros net income.〔(Redplanet.gr Υπέγραψε στην Σπαρτάκ ο Μαυροκεφαλίδης . )〕 He was named to the All-Eurocup Second Team in 2013.〔(Eurocupbasketball.com Star power fills 2012-13 All-Eurocup teams! )〕 He signed with the Spanish League club FC Barcelona in May 2013.〔(Eurohoops.net Mavrokefalidis is signing with Barcelona. )〕 On 10 July 2013, even though the Greek media were saying that Mavrokefalidis was very close to signing with Olympiacos, he was announced as a signing of Panathinaikos.〔(Mavrokefalidis: “Adaptation and assistance” )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sportando.net/eng/europe/greece/59110/panathinaikos-announced-loukas-mavrokefalides.html )〕 In the 2015 Greek Basket League playoffs, he was the best player for Panathinaikos, averaging 18.4 points, 8.1 rebounds(5.8 offensive rebounds) and 2.2 assists per game.
