Lawrence Frank sees improvement in rookie Vyacheslav Kravtsov.
Kravtsov, widely regarded as a project when he was signed, hasn't had a huge impact in his first season stateside. "He has worked hard throughout, and he has had some good moments," Frank said. "He has definitely improved." The big man is not a fantasy option in any format despite the praise from his coach. Mar 27 - 8:02 AM

Vyacheslav Kravtsov - C - Pistons

Pistons rookie Viacheslav Kravtsov was scoreless with zero rebounds on Saturday, and he committed three personal fouls in 14 minutes off the bench.

Slava posted an out-of-the-blue double-double on Friday, but he shot 2-of-10 from the FT line in that game, and tonight's dud serves as a reality check.

Vyacheslav Kravtsov - C - Pistons

Vyacheslav Kravtsov came out of nowhere to double-double in Friday's blowout loss, scoring 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting with 10 rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench.

Vyacheslav-sanity! It wouldn't be a strange line without the 2-of-10 mark from the foul line, and no, this is not a run to the wire moment in any format.

Slava Kravtsov will be active on Friday night.

You might not have noticed if we didn't tell you, but the big man will be active against the Grizz.

Vyacheslav Kravtsov - C - Pistons

Slava Kravtsov is unlikely to join the rotation right now.

"It's hard to play five bigs; we're playing four," Lawrence Frank said. The team is committed to finding more time for Andre Drummond, so it's hard to believe a project like Kravtsov is going to suddenly earn minutes as well. "This is learning, and this is a big adjustment for Slava," Frank added. The rookie recently dealt with a back injury, but he's fine now.

Vyacheslav Kravtsov - C - Pistons

Slava Kravtsov is working on getting stronger.

"I have to," he said. "I want to get strong." A project center who was signed over the summer, Kravtsov still has a long way to go.

Vyacheslav Kravtsov - C - Pistons

Slava Kravtsov will play "extensive minutes" in Friday's preseason game.

The Pistons want to see the Ukranian center in action, while Andre Drummond is expected to sit for most, if not all of the game. Kravstov has turned some heads in camp, but it's going to be hard for him to accrue consistent fantasy value this season in standard leagues.

The Pistons officially signed Ukrainian center Vyacheslav Kravtsov on Saturday.

Kravtsov, whose first name can be conveniently shortened to 'Slava,' is believed to have signed a multi-year contract, though the exact terms haven't been disclosed. At 7'0", 260 lbs, he gives Detroit another project center to develop alongside Andre Drummond.

Vyacheslav Kravtsov - C - Pistons

The Pistons plan to sign Ukranian center Vyacheslav Kravtsov to a multi-year contract.

Kravtsov is an intriguing prospect, and after also drafting Andre Drummond, it's clear that the Pistons are looking to improve the attack along the front line. Joe Dumars confirmed that the Pistons will sign the big man.
