Position: Power Forward
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 225 pounds
Age: 19
Country: Russia
Strengths: The Russian sensation is a very 'springy' player. He can simply dominate teams with his supreme athleticism and has done so in Russia. He is not polished offensively but does create his own shot quite well. He can block shots with the best of them and has extremely quick hands. It is hard to get much past him defensively. He is also a very aggressive, tough-as-nails type of player that fans love to hate. He is not a fancy dunker but does so with great tenacity. Ruslan has torn through more than one cheap backboard in Europe. Simply put, he's one of the most intriguing defenders around.
Weaknesses: He tends to rely on his athleticism a bit too much rather than polishing the technical aspects of his game. He is a below average rebounder simply because his positioning is sub par. His scoring game certainly wouldn't be classified as creative. Some wonder if he will flourish quite as well when surrounded by other superior athletes.
Projected Ratings:
B+ C- C- B+ C- A
Projected Draft Spot:
Top 5
His athleticism and prowess on the defensive end should make him appealing to quite a few teams. The kid is a fun player to watch and has a wealth of potential. Very fiesty. Your fans will love him. Opposing fans will despise him.
