I wondered that myself. Maybe paying rookie dues? Didn't he have a much larger offensive role on the under 20's team last year?
6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in 22 min isn't bad at all. But I wonder why he wasn't shooting? Also, glad to see him with a pair of dimes as well (especially under the FIBA rules that are more strict about awarding assists).

Rumor is that there is a German team interested in Sanikidze but they haven't found (for the moment) a financial agreement with Estudiantes.
I hope he doesn't get into some godawful contract in Germany and we end up having to trade him to the Rockets in 5 years for half a Moon Pie.
They might throw in an RC Cola.
My question is: Why is he only playing 22 minutes in an inferior league. If he's got the stuff to play in the NBA he should be playing big minutes in this league and dominating. What's up with that?
dunno what is a moon pie, but i just had a moon cake...
If you notice, it was a blowout game and only 3 Georgian players played more than him.

Dammit, I can't get the pic up there
Exactly. Even the star Georgian player, Zaza Pachulia, only played 31 minutes. They're probably trying to give confidence and experience to some of the less established and skilled players on the squad. Because even in FIBA, it still takes 5.
Moon Pies 10 seconds in the microwave are freaking awesome. I'm not kidding either a must try for anyone.
I may be wrong but generally speaking, in a blow-out, aren't the established stars on a team the first to sit down with the least minutes. I hope you are right and he's a great player who simply hasn't got many minutes with his teams over the past couple of years.
But it don't sound right to me.
Oh nooooo! Another Free Quattro thread is abloom.
Sanikidze with 14 points on 5/7 shooting, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, a block and a steal in victory over Austria

so what's the rest of the schedule like for Georgia? Are they finished playing in division B?
Just to clear things up--- is it possible for the Spurs to sign Sanikidze this year, or would it have to be next year? I read different things.
That's the kind of play I want to see from him. Bring him to camp, Pop
Nice. We better bring him in by at least next year.
Georgia will play Iceland on Wednesday
Since he signed his 2 yr contract in 2006, provided he doesn't sign another contract he is ours free and clear in 2008.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, if we bring him over this yr then there will be some type of buyout involved.
Sanikidze plays PF for the Georgian NT.
If he develops well, he could become in a couple of years the SF/PF Spurs need for a long time.
The more important to him is now find a team in Europe where he will get some playtime because he hasn't played a lot for two years.
For some reason I have more hope in this guy than Scola.
lets hope he doesnt turn out like that top 7 pick denver had a few years ago tsivikikiktikitki wtf is his surname i forgot
He doesn't look like he could bulk up enough to see any significant time at the 4 in the league. Depending on matchups he might be able to do so occasionally.
