    From NBATALK.COM:

    Krause krazy for 7-foot-9 (!) Korean - According to The Sun Times: Jerry Krause never has shied away from foreign players considered big projects, but no NBA team has encountered a project as big as Michael Ri. The 7-9 Ri is a 30-year-old North Korean who is expected to finally receive clearance to play in the NBA after the United States relaxed restrictions on North Korea on Monday. 'I remember two or three years ago [Canadian national team coach] Jack Donohue called and told me about Ri,' Krause said. 'But I haven't heard his name since. I didn't know he could work out for NBA teams now.' Ri was able to work out in Canada but not the United States until now. 'When Michael arrived, he had no conditioning and couldn't use his left hand,' Donohue told the National Post in Canada. 'Eight months later, he was NBA material. With his great outside touch and foul-shooting skills, he reminds me of Rik Smits.' -
