Denis Klevzunyk has signed a contract extension with "Kyiv-Basket" for the upcoming season, securing his place with the Ukrainian basketball powerhouse. The 24-year-old defender made his mark in the previous campaign with performances that ranked him among the Superleague's elite players.
Klevzunyk's statistics speak volumes about his importance to the team. He averaged 14.7 points per game, ranking fifth in the entire Superleague scoring charts. Not just an offensive threat, he also pulled down 7.1 rebounds per contest (fourth-best in the league), while adding 1.3 assists and 1 steal on average.
By the way, his impact was particularly evident during the championship series against "Dnipro" where he led "Kyiv-Basket" in scoring in two of the three final games. Talk about stepping up when it matters most!
The young talent's decision comes at an interesting time. Reports had previously suggested that a "Kyiv-Basket" player was considering a move to a First League club, though that clearly wasn't Klevzunyk's path.
With his combination of scoring ability and defensive presence, can Klevzunyk elevate his game even further next season? Basketball fans in Kyiv certainly hope so.
