Kirill Elatontsev brings size, efficiency, and pro-ready polish to Oklahoma’s frontcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Kirill Elatontsev gave Oklahoma a steady interior presence off the bench, averaging 4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and shooting 52.5% from the field in 23 games, while also flashing enough touch to hit 33.3% from three[1][9]. At 6-foot-11 and 240 pounds, he’s a physical center with legitimate pro experience from Lokomotiv Kuban, and the quick transition into meaningful minutes suggests he’s comfortable in grown-man basketball[2][5][13]. He looks like a fit for teams needing a mature, efficient big who won’t force the issue and can survive in multiple styles of play[1][7].
