Your Almost 7-Footer Obsession of the Day

Move over, Greg-O and Cap'n Lou, 'cause here comes....

Slava Kravtsov might be on the market soon for any team to claim. The 25-year-old center, involved in the sign-and-trade that also sent Khris Middleton and Brandon Knight to the Milwaukee Bucks for guard Brandon Jennings, is expected to be released by the Bucks because of a surplus of big men. The 7-footer spent one year with the Pistons and showed promise in the short stints he played. He averaged 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 25 games last season.

Anyone Slav-ating over the prospect he becomes available? He's a Buck, after all, so you know we're interested! Not much to crow about from last season, but he's young, big, and probably cheap (<$1.5 million) With Zaza and the Raduljica guy recently signed, it'll be crowded behind Larry Sanders, so watch out for falling Slavas!

3.1 pts and 1.8 rebounds? Oh sign him up quick because he will be one of those great developing talents in the future.

Oh, come now, that's per 9 minutes of floor burn! Per 36 that's like a whopping 12 and 7 (and 1.4 blocks)! Look out, Miami! ;-)

If we are going with a true young Center, I would consider Cole Aldrich first, no doubt about it.

This is starting to look like the Bum of the Month club now. To take this guy seriously at all, he needs to have one of those accent dealies somewhere in his name. You know - one of things that ain't nowhere on my keyboard.
