Konstantin Kulikov

Jonathan Givony

Kulikov made a strong first impression with his great frame and long arms, but that enthusiasm was quickly tempered when evaluating the rest of his profile. He shows a very limited skill-level, with strange shooting mechanics and limited footwork. He does have decent touch around the basket, though.

His body language in practice was poor. He showed little effort and struggled to pick up instruction—something that obviously wasn't helped by the language barrier.

Kulikov saw little playing time in the actual game (16 minutes) and didn't have much of an impact (2 points, 2 rebounds) in his time on the floor. Big men often take longer to develop, so it will probably take some time for him to come around.
