Aryavir Gulati

Head Equipment Manager · Hydration Lead

Aryavir is a vital member of our equipment staff and our head water boy — a role he was given as part of an inclusive program for athletes with autism, and one he has absolutely made his own. He makes sure every player on the bench and rotation stays hydrated, prepared, and game-ready. The team adores him and considers him a core part of the culture.

Asadbek Ruziev

Head Cheerleader · Away-Game Security

Asadbek is the loudest voice in our corner and the calmest presence on the road. As head cheerleader he runs the bench energy, leads the chants, and keeps morale sky-high through every run and every timeout. On away trips he doubles as part-time security for the squad — handling logistics at the gym door, looking after the team's gear, and making sure the players can focus on basketball. A genuine glue guy whose personality lifts the entire program.
