Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We bring young combo guard to our family. His progress during last years is evident. We had a chance to talk face to face individually. I explained to him all possibilities and obligations that you get by joining CSKA. Ivan is thrilled with the chance he gets, he is ready to work hard, to sleep in the gym and he has big desire to help his new club.
