What, no replies at all?
Didn't watch him play but it looks to me this guy can be a Superstar in Europe, if he doesn't make it to the NBA for some odd reason.

stuart it's Artiom Parakhovskiy.

I guess his name got a bit lost during the translation in the US.
Are you sure? No single entry with Google. In FIBA Europe's website it's also Artsiom Parakhouski.

Artiom Parakhovskiy-this pronunciation in Russian language, and it on Belarussian-Artsiom Parakhouski. It will be correct and and so, in Belarus two languages.
