Climbing prospect who is a tall drink of water with fluid feet. Plays defense with a calmness and smarts that point him in an upward direction. Good passer who has a strong quick point shot. Plays in all situations and a significant amount of minutes with little panic. After coming over from Russia, he was put on waivers by Regina - mostly due to his lack of high end mobility. None the less is effective when playing inside his area of effectiveness: in tight spaces and along the wall.
