“I am pleased that all players want to stand for the national team, but there are always nuances – health, contractual obligations. At the moment, the situation is that Svyatoslav Mikhailuk will join the national team of Ukraine after the end of the Summer League of the NBA. We also expect Dmitry Skapintsev after the summer league. Alexei Len will join the national team if he signs a contract in the near future. As for Maxim Shulga, I hope he will also come immediately after the speeches for Boston in the Summer League. Maxim really wants to play for the national team, but the decision on it is completely dependent on the club
As for our other “Americans”, we must say about Alexander Kobzist. He will have an important role in Oregon next season and is not released by the university, with which he will train all summer. There is also a nuance on Novitsky’s documents, which is now in the United States. But God forbid such a desire to play for the national team like Rostislav. We talked to Vladimir Gerun, tried to find a compromise, but unfortunately, it will not be in the national team this time. In his situation, there were family circumstances, health, and contract, too, a little.
Sasha Kolyar will join a little later, because he has ended the season late, he played a lot and he needs a little more time to rest. Artem Pustovy, most likely, will play in Indonesia by the end of July, so his participation – in question. Artem Kovalev has already returned from this championship, which will also come to the collection.
There will be several young players. I wonder how they will show themselves at the European Youth Championships – it is about Sipala and Klitschko. But there are a few more ideas about this national team – to invite other players from the youth team to see what the country’s main national team is. Plus, these guys should be in good physical shape after performances at the U-20 European Championship. Young players will get a chance to play, ”the rich said.
