We should really consider bringing this guy over next season, he's in Russia currently but we could buy out the last year of his contract to have him come play with us. He's a ferocious dunker, I wonder how good he would be next to Duncan, and how well he could translate to the NBA? We drafted him in 2001, maybe it's time to give him his shot (he's 28 years old now). Who knows, maybe he could turn into one of the best players in his class (not hard :)) Here's some media that you might enjoy if you've never seen him (like me):

Javtokas has very good athletic abilities, long arms and good coordination. Good jumper, who can easily dunk in the traffic. Still has to work on his technique and to improve his free-throw shooting. He can run the floor and make plays on the perimeter with his good athletic ability, nice size, and good hops. Not a bad rebounder and becoming a good defender as well.
