The Cavaliers have agreed to a two-year deal with Russian big man Sasha Kaun, according to multiple reports.

The 30-year-old seven-footer was selected by the Cavaliers in the 2008 NBA Draft, but has played overseas ever since.

Cleveland head coach David Blatt is familiar with Kaun, after coaching him on the Russian national team that won a bronze medal in the 2012 Olympics. 

Kaun is expected to provide frontcourt depth behind Timofey Mozgov, who started at center in all but one of his regular season appearances for the Cavaliers. 

Kaun averaged 9.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in 30 Euroleague appearances last season.
