Leaving him off the All-Tournament Team was robbery. Same story as Egor Demin.

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

Egor Amosov capped an outstanding week at the adidas Next Generation Tournament Finals with a strong showing in the title game.

The 6'8 Russian wing is a high-level shot-maker with terrific vision and passing creativity who seemed to take a step forward defensively in Athens.

Liga U’s third-place game was no formality. Aleksander Savkov 🇷🇺 stepped up big time for Zaragoza, bringing them back with important shots. To me, he’s a great example of positionless basketball.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

Vsevolod Ischenko pregame shooting routine. His jumper may not look automatic, but he’s hitting 47% of his threes this season on 1.5 attempts per game. Big game tonight in the VTB semifinals vs CSKA.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

If you ask me which Russian player deserves draft consideration besides Vsevolod Ishchenko, it’s Gleb Firsov.

The spark he brings is hard to ignore — and a lot of it comes down to his natural instincts: his ability to run the floor, find openings quickly and finish with touch.

’06 🇷🇺 wing Egor Evstafiev named VTB Youth F4 MVP after shooting 10/19 from three and posting a 65/53/100 split over two games.

@nbadraftpoint It’s amazing what impact this kid can make

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

It took a while for me to figure out what to make of Anton Kvitkovskikh, but yesterday’s performance gives a good glimpse of his profile. At 25, he’s too old to be considered a prospect, but he’s having a low-key breakout season that cements him among the best young 🇷🇺 players

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

Ishchenko might be a sleeper in this year’s draft — not a surprise if you’ve been watching the VTB. He’s been consistently solid on a top-4 team for two years now.

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

NEWS: Lokomotiv Kuban's Vsevolod Ishchenko is entering the 2026 NBA Draft, he tells DraftExpress.

The 6'8, 21-year-old Russian wing is having a breakout season in the VTB League.

Toolsy prospect with a 7-foot wingspan and intriguing two-way versatility.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

I keep hearing Vsevolod Ishchenko’s name more and more often in draft conversations — also saw NBA people at his game in Moscow about a month ago.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

‘06 Lev Svinin has been one of the best young wings in the VTB this season, establishing himself as a starter for an overperforming Parma team. With several leaders away, he was far more assertive last night, setting a career high and going 11/12 FTs after averaging <1 FTA.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

Gleb Firsov is absurdly productive for a 21-year-old on a pro European club — averaging 10 points in 15 mpg in VTB League. He should go to a top club or college next season to take the next step in his career.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

@2kdailyrosters @BlerdManiaNet what gameplay/mynba settings are used here?

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

@2kdailyrosters Correct draft capital for all teams?

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

One of the promising Russian prospects gets a chance to prove he belongs to the pros

[Artem Komarov @art_basket]

Official now: Khimki Moscow Region added Klim Adaykin until the end of the season.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

@2kdailyrosters cool, i was missing it a lot, thank you so much! do you also update draft capital?

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

@2kdailyrosters How can I get the roster?

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

@JotaKelmer Is it already live?

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

’09 Kirill Grigoriy is a buzz name in Russian basketball now. Athletic 6’3 SG has taken the Superleague by storm with his tenacious drive, shooting touch, and ability to hold his ground vs older opponents. Averaging 10.5 PPG on 38.5% from three through 4 games for CSKA’s farm.

[Mikhail Ratts @mikhailratts]

After a slow NCAA start, Kirill Elatontsev went 4/4 from three vs Florida — a big outlier for a rim runner. For context: in 138 VTB games he took just 31 threes (all last season) and hit 45%. If this trend is real, it shifts his offensive profile toward a Brook Lopez–style big.
