In the new season of the VTB United League, Russian players who previously played in academies in Europe and North America tend to return to the league, the president of the organization told . Sergei Kushchenko .
The new season of the VTB United League started on Saturday with the match CSKA – UNICS (71:55).
— This season we have very bright players, and the brightest is probably Aleksa Avramovic, who is widely known in the world, especially after the Olympics. And the other foreign players who have now been signed by the clubs are very good and experienced players. But in general, it is worth noting the story of the 15 announced Russian players. These are guys from youth projects and are already on the list of adult teams.
And there is a good trend in the league towards the return of good Russian players who previously played in European and American academies. For example, [Александр] Shashkov from Parma, who played in Slovenia, Alex-Sergey Kotov from Uralmash, who was in the youth league in the United States. But the main thing is that our clubs have brought up students from their youth projects. This season there will be good opportunities for the development of young Russian players. And this is obvious, because four rounds are not two: there is much more playing time, ”Kushchenko told .
