This season Fedor Dmitriev was a key factor of Triumph's successful EuroChallenge campaign. He led his team to the Final Four, scoring 9.8 points per game. It was clearly a good season for him after a transition season in 2007-08. He has shown that his nice offensive skills have not disappeared. He's still an efficient finisher around the basket and has the whole collection of post moves. He uses his massive frame well to fight in the paint and can easily play the center position. He can also hit mid-range shots. On the other end of the floor there is still room for improvement, as Dmitriev has not reached his defensive potential.
