Roby kept moving down the bench until he reached the end and fell off. Must be a little scary to realize you can't stay on one of the worst teams in the league. Maybe he'll connect with another team here or in Europe or China.
Reminds me of a more active more mobile Jock Landale. Seems like a slight upgrade from Roby. We'll see.

Yeah, big white slow Sochan. Slochan.
Seems like a nothing burger.
Jock was a very Good shooter. Marmaduke seems a bit sus in that department. His college numbers didn’t foretell a great NBA shooting career. 34% for four years. One year was 43%, but that was only 53 attempts. His best FT shooting year was 71%, but he had two seasons right around 60-61%.
Two pages and counting for Sandro Mamukelashvili... This is a long season tbh.
The NBA is a tough business……really hard to navigate! Good luck to ol’ Roby
Lets remember that Mamu is a 14th - 15th guy on a team with lots of young developing players. Although shooting is important, don't think they brought him in for his brilliant shooting skills, but probably to set a few hard picks, or just plain rebound a bit. Maybe give a few hard fouls. If he can score a bit, that's a plus. Its probably just a look see type of signing.
For what ever reason, the spurs front office wasn't that overly wowed by Roby and decided to go with Mamu to finish the season and possibly for next year. If he shows something great, if he doesn't, no harm no foul. Maybe the spurs are trying to get a head start for next season.
The NBA is a tough job especially for end of the bench guys, so good luck to both Mamu and Roby.
i'm really sorry and disappointed about Roby now as much as i was excited and glad when we signed him. imho he has just everything necessary for becoming a good to very good nba basketball player in this nba...the body and the athleticism are more than good and he also have offensive movements and a good outside shot...what's lacking are basketball instincts and, probably, a real will to succeed. I hope he finds out a way but franckly I dont understand how he couldn't figure out till now the right path to become really valuable in this league...
For Pete’s sakes, we picked up this guy??? I thought we were tanking, what gives??? Well this is just great, 1st round exit here we come. Bye bye Wemby.
Holy crap. The guy can play. Goodpass, ballhandling coast to coast, seems like good motor and can shoot.
He brings down the ball coast to coast, can set up half-court offense, has passing skills, post moves, shoot outside or take it to the rim, big body to defend post, seems like a high motor guy. With the tank, this guy can definitely show what he can do and possibly earn himself a contract. Good pick-up.
This has a Coach Bud hook-up written all-over it
He may not have idolized Viktor but I always held out hope Viktor would eventually show up in training camp one year.

Same here.
He is now the President of Georgian Basketball Federation
Doesnt look that slow man
Dude ain’t slow!
It's like they signed Roby to play PF until Sochan came around, then Sochan was already ready, then they went and got a guy with Sochan's skill set to support Sochan.
I don't know whether anything comes of it, but it does sniff of Bud and the Spurs and Sandro's agent having a dialogue about funneling him to a better playing situation. It sounds like they're trying to get Dragic for their playoff run.
Mamu feels like more of a PF/C where Sochan feels more like a SF/PF.
Nice take. Definitely the reason why Spurs waived Roby to get Mamu. Mamu seems a very good target, mobile big who can pass, ball handling, facilitate, defend, motor and his name is Mamu? Pop will like this guy.
They’re cycling through these guys to:
1) if and when the Spurs have foundation pieces from either their current or future players, this guy and the reclamation projects before him (KBD, Bassey, etc) will be extended for cheap and serve as role players for a winning team
2) scrap whatever value they can get from little to no investment they put in to get them
3) build reputation as a team that develops players to go on to have successful careers
we have our 15th All-Star. Championship incoming
If he just trusts Coach Pop plus watched Kobe tapes and beliefs and championships he will be an all star ! alongside Bassey and Barlow.we have our 15th All-Star. Championship incoming
Roby barely got any playing time - so it is baffling why the spurs are moving guys in and out who dont even get a real chance to play?
I would have given ALL of Keita bates minutes to roby and then gotten rid of keita -
He got plenty of time earlier in the season. He just isn't good. There's a reason OKC waived him and no one else claimed him. Keita sucks too but he is marginally better than Roby overall
