Early life

Koenis was born in Hoogkarspel and first played football as a keeper and was also interested in judo. He started playing basketball at age 13 with BV Enkhuizen.

Professional career

Koenis started his professional career with the Den Helder Seals in 2007. After two seasons Koenis left Den Helder for WCAA Giants from Bergen op Zoom, because the club from Den Helder was bankrupt. When the Giants decided to leave the Dutch Basketball League as well in 2011, Koenis signed a 3-year contract with the GasTerra Flames from Groningen.

In the 2015 offseason, Koenis signed a 2-year deal with ZZ Leiden.

On 9 June 2017, returned to Donar by signing a 3-year contract. On 10 January 2018, Koenis scored 25 points while shooting 9/9 from the field, ac*ulating an efficiency rating of 36 in a 109–69 win against Keravnos in the FIBA Europe Cup. This earned him the Top Performer honour for Round 2 of the FIBA Europe Cup second round. In the 2017–18 season, Koenis was named to the All-DBL Team for the first time.
