    Russia invites Kaun for tryout

    Kansas University center Sasha Kaun has been invited to try out for Russia’s national basketball team.

    Kaun, a 6-foot-11, 250-pound senior from Tomsk, will travel to Moscow for tryouts in early July in hopes of representing his country at the 2008 Summer Games in China.

    “This is a great opportunity for me to continue to play basketball and move toward a professional career, whether that be the U.S. or overseas,” Kaun said Tuesday.

    NBA player Andrei Kirilenko (Utah) and Viktor Khryapa, who was cut by the Chicago Bulls this season, led the Russian nationals last summer.

    Kaun — he averaged 7.1 points and 3.9 boards a game — said he was flooded with phone calls and text messages from friends in Russia the past several days, congratulating him on KU’s national title.

                The first one should be Andrei Kirilenko and the second one Viktor Khryapa...

                The forth one must be Nikita Morgunov...

                  I would love to see Kaun in russian jersey. He was really impressive in March.

                  Damn, I hope Russians dont become european football champions and olympic champions this year it will be same as greece in 2004, and then european basketball champs at 2005. And eurovision also, Russians this year, and Greeks in either 2004 or 2005 Conspiracy?

                    Sasha Kaun is a great player who could easily be in the NBA. I guess he wants that 3 year contract with CSKA though. I guess he was born in Russia, but when did he move to the US?

In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas

                        Let,s wait about his greatness. It,s too early. We,ll see him in Olympics Games and euroleague,and only after that we,ll probably trying to say that Sasha Kaun it,s something more than average player. Anyway,i wish him the best and i hope he,ll be our secret weapon in one month!

                              Seems like Khryapa is going to play so they'll have the same roster. Russia was a big surprise in Eurobasket 2007. Perfect team play, everyone knew his place, great play by Kirilenko, Khryapa, Holden, Morgunov, Pashutin. I'm not sure Khryapa will manage to show the same quality while looking at his performances in CSKA. Still, if they'll manage to show the same quality team play, they can beat anybody in one particular game. And yes, i have no doubt Spain and Lithuania were stronger teams in Eurobasket and, imho, they'll prove that in Olympics.

                                Khryapa used to do that good in NT, while not playing in the NBA. I think in 2005 he did pretty well too. So, I hope he'll do as well as in 2007 this summer.
