Updating a previous item, Andrei Kirlekno will travel from London to Russia to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the Russians took home the bronze at the Olympics.

AK-47 played 29.6 minutes per game at Eurobasket last season and racked up a league-high average of 2.6 steals and also adding 0.7 blocks. He'll be an interesting late-round pick in fantasy leagues in a couple months.
