19-year-old Armenian national basketball player Yura Melikyan made a bright impression in the Kazakhstani club "Barsy Atyrau" at the EYBL U20 (European Youth Basketball League) youth tournament. The center was twice recognized as the best player of the matches, achieving a double-double in both games.
In the first match against the Latvian club BVBS, Melikyan scored 11 points and 14 rebounds, despite his team's defeat with a score of 70:95. In the second game against the Estonian club Audentese, the Armenian basketball player was even more effective, recording 24 points and 10 rebounds, which helped "Barsy Atyrau" secure a victory with a score of 90:83.
It is worth recalling that Yura Melikyan recently transferred to the Kazakhstani team from Yerevan's BKMA at the beginning of March.
