He also looks like Jesus. I'm just saying...
Well, he's spent his time in the wilderness. If he's truly the Savior of the Spurs it's time for him to make some miracles.
His first miracle would be to convince the FO to bring him forth. They've simply given up on him or he would have been invited to Summer league.
Has he already been given multiple chances and failed each time?
"Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the ing trigger 'til it goes "click."'
Viktor Sanikidze accepted me as a friend on facebook.
More to follow...
Nice. Darkwaters is now a friend and Viktor's conduit to the best basketball site on the planet...even with all the kiddie-poolers who have joined recently.
This photo was posted on the site July 14th (who knows when it was actually taken though). It doesn't look like hes beefed up too much.
Is he in Georgia or somewhere safe? Anybody know anything?
Looks like he's living the good life with his pal at a Black Sea resort. Maybe he prefers to be a big frog in a little pond?
Or Maybe the FO just couldn't locate him to sign him up with a big contract.
He pussed out in a big game and then blamed Pop for it?
Sanikidze is playing a qualifying tournament with Georgia, the goal is to join the first European division.
The compe ion is on two summers (2008 and 2009) and given events in Georgia, the NT will play all its "away" game this summer before playing all its "home" games next summer.
Georgia NT schedule :
06.09.2008 vs LUX
10.09.2008 vs IRL
13.09.2008 vs SVK
17.09.2008 vs SWE
Georgia won its first game 98-65 against Luxembourg (a very weak team).
Sanikidze scored 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

No boxscore, only an article :

He's a straight up baller.

This is the Eurobasket 08 page - Georgia is part of group C...
These are the summaries for Georgia's 2 games so far:
Luxembourg -Georgia 65:98
Georgian National Team scored a comprehensive win over Luxembourg in yesterdays EuroBasket in Division B opener in Group C. Tyrone Ellis (193-G-77, college: S.Nazarene) knocked down 24 points to pace Georgia to their initial victory. Viktor Sanikidze (203-F-86, agency: Life Sports) added 20 points and 12 boards for the winning side. Martin Rajniak (205-F-78, agency: Rasmussen Services, college: CSU Bakersfield) was the only player to score in double figures for Luxembourg as he finished with 13 points. The teams traded baskets at the beginning of the game before Georgia went on a run. They completed the first period with a 14:2 rally and ac ulated an 11-point advantage. The hosts defense never looked solid in the second period as Georgia easily found the keys and stretched the margin to 19 points at halftime. Abdiu and Ferreira nailed 3 trebles early in the third quarter and cut the deficit to 16 points. However Georgia remained alert and entered the fourth stanza up by unassailable 25 points. Luxembourg never recovered in the fourth quarter and had to surrender at the end of the game. Zaza Pachulia (212-C-84) and Nikoloz Tskitishvili (212-C/F-83, agency: Interperformances) added 11 points for the winners. Tom Schumacher (188-G/F-87) and Peter Rajniak (196-G-81, college: Cal.Baptist) notched 8 points in the loss. Georgia outrebounded the home team 42:19 and limited Luxembourg to just 38% from the field.
Luxembourg will look for their first win when they play against Ireland next Saturday. Georgia visit Dublin as soon as next Wednesday.
Luxembourg: Martin Rajniak 13, Tom Schumacher 8, Peter Rajniak 8
Georgia: Tyrone Ellis 24, Viktor Sanikidze 20+12 boards, Zaza Pachulia 11, Nikoloz Tskitishvili 11
Ireland - Georgia 77:94
Irish National Team could not match a feisty Georgia in Dublin yesterday. The hosts fell short 77:94 to slip to 0-2 record in Group C. Georgia meanwhile celebrated the second win in a row and share the top position in the pool together with Sweden.
The home team got to a quick start as they jumped to a 5:1 lead early on. However Georgia quickly denied Ireland the advantage. Mikhail Berishvili (203-F-87) and Viktor Sanikidze (203-F-86, agency: Life Sports) (203-F-86, agency: Life Sports) ensured a 23:13 lead for Georgia at the end of the starting frame. Plying coach Jay Larranaga (195-G-75, college: Bowling Green) fueled Irish surge in the second frame hitting three trifectas however it was not enough to race in front. The visitors remained on top and enjoyed a 37:33 advantage at the interval.
Georgia quickly piled up a 10-point buffer and maintained it well throughout the period. Georgia headed into the fourth quarter leading by 14 points. Viktor Sanikidze converted back-to-back layups midway through the fourth term and Georgia ran away for good in this one. Viktor Sanikidze topscored for Georgia with 31 points. Tyrone Ellis (193-G-77, college: S.Nazarene) had 20 points, while Zaza Pachulia (212-C-84) knocked down 16 in the win. Donnie McGrath (193-G-84, college: Providence) led all scorers with 32 points. Colin O'Reilly (197-F-84, college: Post) added 15 points in defeat.
Georgia will travel to Slovakia, while Ireland will visit Luxembourg on Saturday.
Ireland: Donnie McGrath 32, Colin O'Reilly 15
Georgia: Viktor Sanikidze 31, Tyrone Ellis 20, Zaza Pachulia 16
We really should ask him to attend camp - we are apparently desperate for options (Darryl Watkins?!?), and currently, he 's outscoring Pachulia (starting center, Atalanta Hawks) 51-27 (and I suspect outrebounding as well... Sanikidze got 12 in the 1st game...). Unfortunately, I don't see anything resembling a stats page on the site (at least for the georgian team).
Sanikdize doing that well in these kind of games is quite surprising. Ireland isn't a top team in Europe but it isn't YMCA basketball.
I start to wonder if signing him and sending him in Austin for a year wouldn't be a bad idea. Hairston hasn't shown a lot of things so far. Maybe Sanikidze is the better prospect of the two.
I don't think he's an SF prospect any more, he's gained some weight,
http://www.eurobasket.com/Georgia/ba...ional-Team.asp
Sanikidze - 203cm, 86 kg
for comparison
Pachulian - 212 cm, 84 kg
still, these numbers might be royally f'ed up, Luol Deng is 201 & 85. Pau Gasol is 214 and 80?!?, and Rudy Fernandez is 195 and 85, Kirilenko is 205 and 81...
Still, it'd be interesting to see him brought in as a mobile big.
The Georgians play Slovakia next.
You're mixing birth date with weight.
He's certainly not a pivot player.
I do wonder if he spent much time in SA this summer (4-days/week open workouts?).
