A new center

It's taken most Cavaliers fans years of reading stories on busted foot bones before we managed how to correctly pronounce "Zydrunas Ilgauskas."
Well, get out the Scrabble board again. New general manager Danny Ferry thinks you all are ready for a new challenge.
Following Tuesday's draft, Ferry swapped the Cavs' 2006 second-round pick (their own, not the one they acquired from Milwaukee for Jiri Welsch) to Orlando for Lithuanian center Martynas Andriuskevicius. At 15 letters, it will be the longest last name ever stitched across a Cavalier jersey back.
Selected by the Magic with the 44th pick in the second round, Andriuskevicius, like Ilgauskas, is a 7'-3" big man cut from the cloth of of Arvydas Sabonis, the former Portland center considered one of the main trailblazers (no pun intended) of Lithuanian basketball.
Andriuskevicius (yes, I am getting tired of typing that) trained at Sabonis's big man camp in Lithuania. He was projected as a first-round pick last year before pulling out of the draft. The 19-year-old was projected as a first-round pick this year, but slid all the way to the middle of the second round.
R.C. Buford, the GM of the Spurs and one of Ferry's mentors, has said publicly he is surprised Andriuskevicius slipped as far as he did.
One reason might be his lack of skill. Andriuskevicius is very raw as a player. Now, when most Cleveland fans think "raw," they think DeSagana Diop. But Andriuskevicius isn't raw like that. He comes from the fundamentals-before-breathing European school of basketball. He is said to be a decent outside shooter who still needs strength, along with defensive and low-post skills. Most 19-year-old players do, though. Andriuskevicius is lean and lanky, and probably far more talented and coordinated than Diop.
In a perfect world, Ferry would re-sign Ilgauskas for another three or four years, let Andriuskevicius (the name is actually getting easier to type as I go) learn, mature and fill out, and at some point hand the baton to him.
If they re-sign Z, maybe the Cavs should hire Sabonis as an assistant coach.
