Putra brings size, overseas experience, and two-way upside to Louisville’s frontcourt
Yevheniia Putra is a 6-foot-3 forward from Kyiv whose biggest draw is her proven international résumé and interior versatility: she has production for Ukraine at the EuroBasket and U20 levels, and Louisville lists her as a freshman with strong frontcourt potential. In Louisville’s 2025-26 season, she has contributed 2.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 45.8% shooting, suggesting a developing role rather than a finished product. She looks like a fit for teams needing length, rebounding, and a physical post presence with room to grow.
