Preseason Game Thoughts: Spurs vs. Siena - Oct. 6, 2012

Officially.
I have little faith about the birthdates of these Georgian players.

I thought exactly that when I saw Sanikidize up close. If he's really 26, he's the oldest looking 26-year-old on the planet. He really looks like he's north of 30.

And I remember some controversies surrounding Georgian players and their ages but I forgot the specifics. Was it Jake Tsakalidis who many thought was older than his listed age?

Q+A with Viktor Sanikidze

Jeff: What were your thoughts about the Spurs?



Viktor: They've change a lot of players but the main players, they are still there, (Tim) Duncan, (Manu) Ginobili and (Tony) Parker. I think as long as they are on the team, they'll always going to be competing for the best, a championship.


They Spurs hold your rights. Are you still looking to come to the NBA and play for the Spurs?



Now I just signed a contract with Siena, the best team in Italy. It's my new challenge for me, to play in the Euroleague. I hope to do good. I had a good season last year. I hope I am going to good and hope that the Spurs are going to like my numbers also.


Did you talk Spurs coach Gregg Popovich after the game?



After the game he wished me good luck for the season. We talked before at practice. He has been following me and my stats and everything. I think they have some interest in me. I'll try to do my best.
