The tallest man in the Draft, Pavel Podkolzine, is scheduled to work out for the Cavaliers on Thursday.

The 7-foot-5, 300-pounder could be available at the 10th pick and the Cavs may want to make him their backup center.

Podkolzine played in Italy this year and averaged 2.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 22 games. Besides enormous size, he has a nice shooting touch and some good ability. However, he is just 18 years of age and will take time to develop before he can contribute in the NBA.

Other players the Cavs will work out are Oak Hill Academy small forward Josh Smith (6-8, 220), Prentiss (Miss.) High School power forward Al Jefferson (6-10, 265), University of Mississippi forward Justin Reed (6-8, 240) and Spain's Albert Miralles.
