Vladimir Veremeenko (born July 21, 1984) is a Belarusian professional basketball player for Brose Bamberg of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).
The son of professional basketball players, Veremeenko was an early bloomer as he started his career with local side Gomel aged 15, playing in the 1999-2000 Korać Cup before making the Belarusian league All-Star Game the next season.
He moved to Russian club Avtodor Saratov in 2002, averaging 14.2 points and 7 rebounds per game during his second season in the Russian Super League. When club owner Vladimir Radionov moved the club to Saint Petersburg to form Dynamo, Veremeenko followed him. He would contribute 12.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game to the club's 2005 FIBA Europe League title.
Veremeenko was drafted in the second round (48th pick) of the 2006 NBA draft by the Washington Wizards on 28 June 2006. He did not join the club, moving to another Super League side, BC Khimki, later that year following Dynamo Saint Petersburg's bankruptcy. Spending two seasons with the club, Veremeenko did not manage to crack the first team and found himself frustrated by his substitute status, even as the Russian team fought for titles (winning the 2008 Russian Cup). The Wizards invited him to play in the NBA Summer League in July 2008, his stats of 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in around 11 minutes per game proved to his only career contribution for the Wizards, with his rights used as a makeweight in a 2010 salary-cap motivated deal which brought Kirk Hinrich and Kevin Séraphin from the Chicago Bulls. On July 7, 2016, his rights were traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers alongside Mike Dunleavy, Jr. for the draft rights of Albert Miralles, which was done in order for the Bulls to sign Dwyane Wade.
