Professional career

Charalampopoulos spent the 2011–12 season with the Greek club Egaleo, playing in the semi-pro Greek B Basket League, which is the 3rd-tier division of Greek basketball. In 2012, he moved to the Greek 1st Division club Panathinaikos.[5] He made his debut in the 1st-tier Greek League, during the 2012–13 season, on 26 November, 2012, in a home game against Panelefsiniakos.[6]

With the junior national teams of Greece, Charalampopoulos played at the 2011, 2012, and 2013 editions of the FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship.[9] He won the bronze medal at the 2013 Under-16 tournament.

He finished the tournament being first in minutes per game, third in points per game and fifth in total rebounds, earning his place in the All-Tournament Team.[10][11]

In the summer of 2015, Charalampopoulos suffered a right ankle injury in a friendly game against the USA, and doctors initially said that it would be difficult for him to play at the 2015 FIBA Under-19 World Championship.[12] Despite the injury, Charalampopoulos was able to play at the tournament, and he scored 21 points against the USA in the tournament's semifinal.[13] Greece lost the semifinal game against the USA, and Charalampopoulos was then injured once again in the third-place game, against Turkey, which Greece also lost, as they finished in fourth place.[14]

Charalampopoulos also played at the 2015 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship. In a game against France, he had 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists, making him the first player since Lithuania's Martynas Andriuškevičius to record a triple double at the same tournament.[15] Eventually, Greece beat Turkey in the tournament's final, by a score of 64-61, and won the gold medal.[16] Charalampopoulos was honoured as the MVP of the tournament.[17][18] During the tournament, Charalampopoulos averaged 16.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game.[19]

Charalampopoulos then became a member of the senior men's Greek national basketball team in 2016.
