Zenit: One Point Guard Spot Left, Wants Trimble-Level Talent
Alexander Medvedev says Zenit's roster is nearly set after signing Mason, Kulagin, Iroegbu and Ledlum, but is holding out for a top-tier point guard.
Zenit finished bottom of the VTB United League Super Cup, losing all three of their matches. Alexander Medvedev, chairman of the board of directors at Zenit, has set out what the club still needs before the roster is complete.
One import spot remains open, reserved for a point guard.
"We have put together an updated roster, adding players with varied backgrounds — Nate Mason, Dmitry Kulagin, Ike Iroegbu. At the same time we have kept our focus on developing our own academy, and new young players have joined the team — Pavel Zemsky, Egor Evstafiev, while Artem Antipov is recovering from injury. We have signed and already presented Chris Ledlum, who brings extensive experience and a clear desire to play in Petersburg. As a boy Chris was into American football and baseball, but later chose basketball, so he knows how to play tough, and he is effective both on defence and offence, not afraid of contact. We still have one spot open for an import — we are looking for a point guard, and that is probably the hardest position to fill right now, but we will not take just anyone off the street. "
