Thanks a lot. At least there's now another option to consider.
Thanks for the update.
He played well in last years summer league. I wonder how much he weighs now hopefully he's put on some weight.
I guess this guy is next on the list of Spurs Euro pipe dreams. If he were any good, CSKA or some other club would have snapped him up. But since you people have nothing to live for in your landfill of a city, you can dream that he will be something so that the Spurs don't drfit into irrelevance.
Sanikidze is the only international player (post M and P) the Spurs haven't pissed the well with.
Think about that.
After Manu and Parker, every single other international pick other than Mahinmi they've pissed off.
I've been curious what this guys been up to all year. After leaving Estudiantes it got a little interesting. Especially when Cologne didn't take him. But in SL last year he looked pretty intriguing to say the least. His length and his growing ability to knock down the long ball could make him a nice piece. Plus, he'd be cheap. The only concern is that hes pretty raw and out of practice from having sat out much of this last season. Still, he is an option you have to consider.
Bruno, I tend not to get too excited about these players. But might he be worth our 15th roster spot and an assignment in Austin? Last time I saw a picture of this kid he weighed 90 lbs wet. Is that still the case. I know he's bright, but can he play?
I still have to laugh at the audacity of Lakers fans that have come out of the woodwork this season and like to pretend like their team wasn't irrelevent for the last 5 years.
Let's see what he will do in SL but I highly doubt he is worth a roster spot.
His career has been very chaotic with a lot of injuries, his 3 last seasons have been a disaster.
Gotcha. That's what I wanted to hear.
he was a suns fan when the playoffs began I believe.
Could be a candidate for the Toros next season. Would the Spurs have to sign him for him to play with the Toros or could the Toros sign him?
I believe if the toros sign him anyone could call him up and sign him. to be spurs exclusive would entail use of a roster spot.
Unless the NBA change the D-League rules this summer, Sanikidze won't be able to play in Austin if he hasn't sign with Spurs.
OK. So let him spend a season on IR playing in Austin.
There are better candidates than Sanikidze to be on the IR and play in Austin.
I'm still confused as about that because of Ricky Sanchez. I say put Viktor in the CBA like the Lakers did with Turiaf while he was rehabbing. The Silverados' owners and GM are easy enough to talk to.
We'll see. It all starts in the Summerleagues.
True, provided he doesn't break an ankle stepping off the plane.
Sanikidze was the best player last year on the Spurs summer league team. That's not saying too much because their team last year was horrible. If he can stay healthy and take another step forward, he actually has the perfect skillset for the perimeter player the Spurs need.
I think he's a perfect candidate for the Toros. He hasn't found a Euro team that will play him. That's probably because he's not good enough .... but it could just be the weird politics at work. Perhaps no one in Europe wants to waste time on a guy who is only focused on coming to the NBA.
But yeah, summer league for him this year will be vital. Hopefully he starts and plays good minutes.
He is the complete opposite of splitter at this point. He absolutly needs to make the spurs to have any future cause it doesnt appear europe wants him. I think the guy will show up play well and make the team. Agreed though that he needs to toughen up and get over these injuries.
He should have played in Germany but he blew his knee during the workout. When he was healthy again (in February), it was likely to late in the season to sign in a new team.
Summer leagues will be damn important for Sanikidze. Euro teams scout them and if he plays well, he will play next year in a good European league.
Viktor Sanikidze needs to be signed to an unguaranteed minimum and brought to camp.
Summer league isn't enough.
If second round scrubs get to at least have opportunities in camp like Marcus Williams, Romain Sato, Bryan Bracey and Chris Carrawell then at least give Sanikidze a camp. If he sucks in camp then drop him like evey other failed Spurs draft pick. I like him so I thiink he actually has a chance to make it to Austin.
Maybe in the US his health problems can be alleviated with proper nutrition. Get him away from the daily staples of Georgian food like rock soup and dirt sandwiches and get him on an athlete's diet plan with supplements from the Spurs training staff.
I agree 100%
I watched this guy play in the RMR and he has skills. I would love to see him come over.
So the Spurs already have a swingman prospect on the way in. Yet another reason to draft for other positions next week.
