May 23rd, 2008 Veremeenko On the Way?

According to the Washington Post, Washington’s 2006 second round pick (48th overall) Vladimir Veremeenko may come over from Russia to join the Wizards’ 2008 summer league roster.

Yesterday, I spoke with Marc Cornstein, the agent who represents Vladimir Veremeenko, and it appears that there is a decent chance that Veremeenko could play in summer league. Taken in the second round by the Wiz two years ago, Veremeenko is playing for Khimki in Russia (also have seen it spelled “Khimky”) but could negotiate his way out of the contract all together or simply be cleared to play in summer league.

Ernie Grunfeld has indicated that he would like to see Veremeenko in summer league as well so maybe something can get done. Cornstein declined to detail Veremeenko’s contract situation but it appears that it is nowhere near as restrictive as the one Juan Carlos Navarro had in Barcelona before negotiating his way to the NBA last summer. At the very least, it would be good to get Veremeenko over to Las Vegas for summer league so other teams can see him. You never know, maybe some team falls in love decides to make a move for him.

In 15 minutes per game, Veremeenko held averages of 5.9 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in the ULEB this past season.
