Sergey Karasev Update
Although the Cavaliers 19th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Sergey Karasev, is not able to participate with the Wine and Gold in Las Vegas Summer League, it doesn't mean the Russian swingman isn't working on his game this summer.
In fact, Karasev is putting up big numbers while playing in the World University Games being played in Kazan, Russia. In four games, the 6'8, 200 lb guard/forward is averaging 20.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in just 20.2 minutes.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect to Karasev's performances have been his offensive efficiency. Karasev is shooting an absurd 67 percent from the field (33-of-50) including 60 percent (11-of-19) from beyond-the-arc and 71 percent (22-of-31) from two-point range.
As a result of Karasev's stellar play, Russia has outscored their opponents 430-170 thus far, winning by an average of 65 points per game.
Following the World University Games, which wrap up on Tuesday, July 16th, Karasev will join the Russian National Team to begin training on Monday, July 22nd in preparation for The Euro Championships held in Slovenia in September.
