With the 56th pick, the Sonics take Sasha Kaun.. and then trade him

Posted by Darrin Beene @ 09:03:06 pm

Kaun is a 6-11 center out of Kansas. He's the fifth Jayhawk to be drafted tonight. And, he's got great potential for playing off his name... Chaka Khan, Genghis Kahn, The Wrath of Kahn, etc...

Sadly (??) he won't be a Sonic. GM Sam Presti told the media Kaun has been traded to Cleveland for cash. A Kaun-spiracy maybe?

Anyway, here are the final picks of the second round (52-60).

52. (Miami) Darnell Jackson, Kansas

53. (Utah) Tadija Dragicevic, Serbia

54. (Houston) Maarty Leunen, Oregon

55. (Portland) Mike Taylor, Idaho Stampede... 1st pick ever from NBDL

56. (Seattle) Sasha Kaun, Kansas

57. (San Antonio) James Gist, Maryland

58. (Lakers) Joe Crawford, Kentucky

59. (Detroit) Deron Washington, Virgina Tech

60. (Boston) Semih Erden, Turkey
