Strengths: Solid all around player. Forward with good size and excellent shot from outside and mid-range. One of the top Russian Prospects. Athletic player who added 25 pounds last summer so now he’s a legit PF. Great rebounder, great scorer with a nice touch. Can shoot the threes from time to time. He is better now that he bulked up but could still put some more on. Great leadership as he was elected captain of his pro team. He is not afraid of taking care of scoring.

Weaknesses: His shot mechanics must improve. Has the athleticism but lacks the ball skills to play the SF position right now. He’ll need to improve his ball handling ability. Has a tendency to get himself in foul trouble. He has a ways to go defensively. Needs to develop a better 3-pt shot.
