Alex Poythress is Headed to Russia

Former Kentucky forward Alex Poythress has signed with Zenit St. Petersburg in Russia’s top-level VTB league according to Eurohoops.

Poythress averaged 13.6 points and 7.1 rebounds in 7 EuroCup games last season with Galatasaray.




There were reports a few weeks back that Poythress might land with Panathinaikos or Olympiacos in Greece, but those talks fell through.

Poythress will be teaming up with former Gonzaga star Kevin Pangos in Russia.
