This is Artem Pustovyi, center @ 7'1" and 25 years, which currently stands out in the Obradoiro.
The Spurs want it and also the Celtics.

With a record of 7 wins and 2 defeats, the Obradoiro is one of the great revelations of this start of the ACB. And one of the reasons that explain that performance, it happens through the presence of a Ukrainian pivot that every time seems to be playing a little better. This is Artem Pustovyi, who is already in the sights of a pair of NBA teams.
Pustovyi is 25 years old and is 2.18 [meters], although he has an agility and speed worthy of a much smaller player. He is currently averaging 11 points and 7.1 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game, with a huge 68% in field goals made. In any case, it's the tapas [blocks] that really stand out: he has an average of 2.6 per game, which is enough to lead the best FIBA competition in the world.
As if this were not enough, Pustovyi also
With all this data putting [him] under the spotlight in European basketball, it's not surprising that the NBA has already set eyes on him. According to the center, who told the local Ukrainian XSport, he was already invited to participate in the 2017 training camp with San Antonio, but finally had to reject that chance for a contractual issue with the Obradoiro team.
Pustoviy added that he is currently being followed by the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, and thinking of a possible chance for 2018/19, adding that he would like to make the jump to the NBA as soon as possible, although a couple of major teams based out of Israel and Germany would also like to sign him. Will it end with a path similar to that of the Serbian giant Boban Marjanovic?
