Ilia Ermakov is a freshman guard who provides scoring punch off the bench, averaging 2.6 points in 9.9 minutes per game. He takes care of the ball with just 1.0 turnovers per game.
Born in Kursk, Russia, Ermakov began playing basketball in second grade and joined the CSKA Moscow junior program, advancing to the CSKA Youth Team and signing his first professional contract at age 14. He won the Russian Junior and Youth Championships five times — earning MVP honors in three of those — and was named to the Russian U-20 and Senior National Teams. In the 2024-25 season with CSKA Moscow II in the Russian Superleague, he averaged 12.7 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 47.3 percent and becoming the first 17-year-old named to the Superleague First Team. Considered the top young point guard to emerge from Russia in several years, Ermakov drew interest from multiple high-major programs before signing with St. Bonaventure in April 2025, where GM Adrian Wojnarowski pursued him. His season was interrupted by an ankle injury mid-year.
