Early years and 10 Academy


Samodurov was born and raised in Evosmos, a suburb of Thessaloniki, Greece, to Georgian parents. He started playing basketball as a kid, joining Nikos Chatzivrettas's 10 Academy at the age of 10. His first steps on the next level were made at the 2019 Greek U16 Championship, where he averaged 4.3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal in 12 minutes, despite playing two years up, at age 14. His huge progress paid off in the 2021–22 season, where Samodurov's star shone in the Rising Stars tournament, organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation, hosting U18 teams. He was named the MVP of the tournament and led 10 Academy to the title, with his numbers being over the top, averaging 25.9 points (75.7% free throws, 66.7% two-pointers and 25.8% three-pointers), 13.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2 blocks, in 35 minutes.[1]
