Big, physical Arizona center with blue-collar upside
In the 2011-12 season, Kyryl Natyazhko gave Arizona a 6-foot-11, 275-pound interior presence, and his game was built more on size, strength, and rebounding than scoring flash.[1][2][9] He was a solid, low-maintenance center who had already been ranked among the nation’s top high school big men, and his U-20 international play showed real productivity with 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game in 2009.[1][12] If you want a rugged paint anchor who can bang, rebound, and hold his own physically, he fits; if you need a modern stretch-five or high-usage scorer, he’s not that guy.[1][2][9]
