After the game we caught up with Natyazhko and he told us that, "Arizona is where I want to play."
Natyazhko said that he likes the idea of playing for coach Miller and seemed really excited about stepping in and playing right away. The 6'11 center was this season's IMG Academy National Team MVP and finished the Derby Classic with 8 points 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
We have plenty more from the Derby Classic including video of the entire dunk competition that will be posted soon.
