The young upstart considered a huge prospect for Russian basketball will extend his run with Avtodor Saratov instead of testing the NBA waters. “Major scouting sessions and individual workouts being canceled threw out our plans,” he confessed, “We decided not to rush things. Nikita will stay with Avtodor for the 2020-21 season and declare for the 2021 NBA draft.”
