Lokomotiv played two games last week: won 102:82 in Nizhny Novgorod and had a dramatic 79:82 home defeat to UNICS. In these games, Ishchenko averaged 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3 steals, for an efficiency rating of 21.
This is the 21-year-old guard’s 3rd Team of the Week selection this season. This ranks him tied with UNICS’s Jalen Reynolds, BETCITY PARMA’s Terrell Carter, and another Perm player, Jalen Adams. Yenisei’s Danilo Tasić has been nominated 4 times, Zenit’s Andrei Martyuk 5 times, Lokomotiv captain Patrick Miller and UNICS center Marcus Bingham 6 each. CSKA’s Melo Trimble leads the way with 8 nominations.
Furthermore, Ishchenko‘s steal and dunk in the 1st quarter of the game against UNICS earned a respectable 3rd place in the Top plays of the week. Let’s watch!
