What about Lishuk? Would is he stay in Azovmach or probably he would go abroad?
Lischuk will play in Azovmash next season. Last year was very bad for him. He had huge injury (even couple) and new coach Memi Becirovic dislikes Lischuk in this reason. Now Mesceryakov has more time on the floor.Originally Posted by vaslover
What about Kirill Fesenko and Pecherov? Do they play for Ukraine NT in soon qualifying matches or not?
It's unknown yet. But i think nope.
BC Donetsk sign center from Belorussia Oleg Kozhenets. Last season played in Sumykhimprom (15.8 points per game and 7.8 rebounds )

Cherkasky Mavpy director confirmed negotiations with Dimantopulos
Cherkasky Mavpy director Kirrilo Pogostinskiy said that 350K per year can't be true. It's more than two times less
Thanks for this link. Very interesting article.
Sumykhimprom close to Linas Lekavicius (PG), Abdulahi Kuso (C) and Brian Thomas (SG/SF)
Budivelnik sign ex Avellino and Bamberg playmayker Derrick Zimmerman Somebody knows something about this player?
Good playmaker with absolutely no shooting ability, he's even worse shooter than Andres Rodriguez, and this tells a lot.
I would be worried that team like Budivelnik needs from foreigners also scoring and they will be disappointed. Zimmerman can be really good, if he would have at least one very good scorer on SG or SF around him.
Why you should going out to get a hamburger, if you can get steak at home?
