College career

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Paulos played college basketball at UNC Greensboro. With the Spartans, Paulos became the 21st player in UNCG men’s basketball history to reach the 1,000-career point scoring mark, when he hit a second half 3-pointer against Samford. He ranks third all-time with 262 3-pointers made, and second all-time in UNCG history, with 125 games played. He scored a career-high 30 points at Chattanooga, against the Mocs, and he set a UNCG single-game record with 10 three-pointers made off the bench, as he was 10-of-12 (83.3%) from long range, in just 21 minutes of action. He hit his first four three-pointers of the game, before hitting six straight, on consecutive possessions in the second half, for the single-game record.

As a junior, he scored a season-high 27 points against Davidson, and set a UNCG record with a perfect 9-of-9 shooting from long range. As a senior, Paulos led the Southern Conference, and ranked 12th in NCAA Division I, with 1,178 minutes played. His minutes played are the most by a Spartan, in a single season in program history.

Professional career

In July 2015, Paulos began his professional career in the top-tier Greek League club AEK Athens, after signing a two-year contract with them. On 3 November 2015, he was loaned to Doukas of the Greek 2nd Division. With Doukas, he averaged 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game, in 23 games played in the Greek 2nd Division 2015–16 season.

On 5 October 2016, he was loaned to Pagrati of the Greek 2nd Division from AEK Athens.
