Zenit-2 forward Pavel Zemskiy has been selected for the symbolic five of the 2024/25 Fonbet Super League regular season.

The 20-year-old player took part in 24 matches and helped the blue-whites reach the playoffs for the second year in a row, becoming the top scorer of the farm team. Averaging 32 minutes per game, he scored 16.9 points — ranking third in the tournament. Zemskiy also finished second in the league in efficiency rating (19 points) and rebounds (8.8 per game), leading all players in offensive rebounds (3.3 per game). Alongside his Super League performances, he has been involved with Zenit's main team.

In the final regular-season game against SSOR Lokomotiv Kuban, Zemskiy recorded a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds. The Zenit-2 forward shared his thoughts on making the symbolic five:

I'm very happy to be included in the symbolic five — it's great news ahead of the playoffs. This will bring even more motivation and energy to keep moving forward and improving. I'm truly grateful for your support, inspiration and belief in me. This achievement also belongs to the entire team, the coaching staff, the club management and our fans.
