Sasha Kaun

[Change of Pace]

Waste of a roster spot

Blatt only plays an 8 man rotation, so it's a moot point.

 

[CalBuckeyeRob]

NBA teams are allowed 15 players under contract. 20-25% of the league is probably wasting a roster spot.

I actually think he did a nice job grabbing an offensive rebound with some vigor. Right before he clanked his 2 FTs...

Shouldn't this be our enforcer
The giant Russian we have just chillin who isn't as valuable as our other giant Russian.
I mean maybe just for a few minutes a game when another player starts to go bonkers throw sasha at them let him get his six fouls and move on in life

Unfortunately he's more Herman Munster than Frankenstein.

Sasha got degree in computer science at Kansas and actually plans a career around software development after finishing with basketball. So, answering your question, yes, he should be our enforcer.

So we may have the world's softest giant Russian......

Now I'm going to think he's a secret Bond villain masquerading as a basketball player.

I like it maybe he will build some device for the finals that makes the other team simultaneously shit them selves

Sign Kaun's Brother to a pair of 10 Day Contracts. Just keep JR away from his Lady.

What the fuck is that?

Our new enforcer

Truthfully, that Guy is the "Inspiration" for Shrek.

 

[Lee63]

This guy is sooooo Bad! I was at the game last night. He literally had no clue where he was suppose to be on offense or defense. He was so lost. It was like his 1st day of practice. He won't be back next year.

There were a few of us on here that always disliked the signing. We saw his limitations at both Kansas and on the Russian national team (he has really short arms and is not a smart defender). The dude really struggles with team defense and rebounding. He can't shoot at all, sets soft screens, and only positive offensive skill is putbacks. Defensively he can guard post-ups fairly well, but struggles with positioning to the point of being a "rim protector."

This dude would have had a roster spot one decade ago. I never understood why, given the knowledge I assume we had, we felt the need to bring him over this season.
