Vladimir Veremeenko (born July 21, 1984) is a Belarusian professional basketball player who plays for Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia of the Italian Serie A. ==Professional career== The son of professional basketball players, Veremeenko was an early bloomer as he started his career with local side Gomel aged 15, playing in the 1999-2000 Korać Cup before making the Belarusian league All-Star Game the next season. He moved to Russian club Avtodor Saratov in 2002, averaging 14.2 points and 7 rebounds per game during his second season in the Russian Super League. When club owner Vladimir Radionov moved the club to Saint Petersburg to form Dynamo, Veremeenko followed him. He would contribute 12.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game to the club's 2005 FIBA Europe League title.〔 Veremeenko was drafted in the second round (48th pick) of the 2006 NBA draft by the Washington Wizards on 28 June 2006. He did not join the club, moving to another Super League side, BC Khimki, later that year following Dynamo Saint Petersburg's bankruptcy. Spending two seasons with the club, Veremeenko did not manage to crack the first team and found himself frustated by his substitute status, even as the Russian team fought for titles (winning the 2008 Russian Cup).〔 The Wizards invited him to play in the NBA Summer League in July 2008,〔 his stats of 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in around 11 minutes per game proved to his only career contribution for the Wizards, with his rights used as a makeweight in a 2010 salary-cap motivated deal which brought Kirk Hinrich and Kevin Séraphin from the Chicago Bulls. Signed by UNICS Kazan in August 2008, the big man quickly rediscovered his form.〔 He would spend a total of six seasons as a vital part of Kazan's successes, two Russian Cups in 2009 and 2014 (with Veremeenko making the All-Cup team in 2014) and the 2011 Eurocup. He moved to Spanish side CAI Zaragoza in August 2014, but brought out his contract a month later to accept a better paid offer from Turkish outfit Banvit, not even playing a friendly game with the Spaniards. His time with Banvit would see him break the all-time Eurocup record for total rebounds with a new mark of 476 over eight seasons, ending the season with 543; from averages of 9.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in the competition in addition to 10.4 points and 5.1 rebounds in the Turkish Super League. On 18 August 2015, Veremeenko signed with Italian Serie A outfit Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia for one year.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vladimir Veremeenko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
