Ilia Ermakov is a 6-5 international guard with legit upside and a polished feel
In the 2025-26 season, Ilia Ermakov flashed real efficiency as a freshman for St. Bonaventure, averaging 2.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.1 minutes while shooting 45.5% from the field, with a season-high 12 points in a win over Buffalo. He arrived with a strong résumé from CSKA Moscow, where he posted 12.7 points, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game in 2024-25, and was billed as one of Russia’s top young prospects. The intrigue: a tall lead guard with playmaking, toughness and international pedigree, though his impact has been interrupted by injury and limited minutes.
