Sasha Kaun is not returning to Russia to play basketball but is interested in playing in the NBA next season. The Cleveland Cavaliers hold his draft rights. At one point we had heard that other teams were interested in trading for the former Kansas Jayhawk center. The Cavs, already with Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Timofey Mozgov, Anderson Varejao and 2nd Round pick Rakeem Christmas, didn’t seem to have a big man need.
Then, last night, Kaun showed up to the Cavs Summer League game.
