Because SA needs multiple wings and there is really no need for that many Centers
Why would they need to flip Poeltl for a wing? Okpala or Roby should be available at 29. Doubt Milutinov would need a good asset tbh.

Don't think it's out of the range of possibility that this is LMA's final season with Spurs, whether its retirement or him trying to get back to Portland. Goga would be make sense if he's the pick, very skilled for his age.
Seems like he may be fairly slow footed laterally but looks good protecting the rim. He may struggle defending away from the rim but could use his length and size to try and contain drives to the rim.
Offensively, he looks excellent as a roll man, seems like he can be good post player and has a good looking jumper.
Aldridge, Poeltl and Goga would make 3 centers and LMA may not be on the team in a couple of years. Milutinov may or may not ever be a Spur. DDR is the starting 3 going forwards and will eat up a lot of minutes there. Okpala or Roby would be potential wings available but not likely to crack the rotation in their first year with such jam packed rotation.
Any big man the Spurs draft needs to be able to play power forward.
Yeah, what you posted is kind of what I’ve heard the most but then there are some reports saying he has quick feet. It was smart for him not to go to the combine. Lol.
He is going to get drafted in the teens I believe and I wouldn’t be surprised if Boston grabbed him.
Not even a poor man's Poeltl.
There is nobody I dislike more in the conversation, tbh.
Cd021 is right about bitadze offensively and defensively. He has quick feet and footwork but he Will be exposed laterally against pgs or sg's
What is interesting with him is that due to his progression, euro experts thinks he can be better on the perimeter with the time( tough he is not bad yet but so-so imo)
Also he has a good IQ so he does what he knows like protecting the rim...
We already have Poetl, who's still young and showed tons of flashes throughout the season. This guy isn't needed.
WINGS, WINGS, WINGS
Drafting Goga doesn't stop us from drafting a wing, it's not either- or.
Keldon Johnson may be there at 19 but if Goga or PJ Washington are there then it would be a mistake not to take either- especially Washington, really like his game.
There is a decent chance that Okpala or Roby are around at 19, both are big wings that should be able to play small ball 4 down the road too.
Okeke, Johnson, Nwora, and King will also likey be there at 29.
I'm starting to talk myself into Goga being a really strong pick at 19 if he's still around. He's not the greatest of fits but he's a legit talent you can possibly build around if he reaches his peak potential. Getting a potential star at 19 who at the very least is a strong backup center is difficult value to pass up, tbh.
Young players who have done what Goga's done in Europe almost never underwhelm in the NBA...
Goga at 19 and Luka at 29 tbh =
Been saying since January that I am su ious about Spurs picking Goga. Him and Samanic. I'm sure (at least) one of them is gonna be a Spur.
this is exactly what ty espns mock draft show had us doing last night, well they didn’t say it equaled a chip thoughGoga at 19 and Luka at 29 tbh =
His biggest weakness his is lateral quickness. He is a good interior scorer, especially as a role man. Looks like a solid mid range shooter and can possibly step out and knock down 3's eventually. Wouldn't be opposed to him at 19.
Nikola Vucevic or Enes Kanter comparison?
Geniuses think alike tbqh.
Hard pass.
Will be too slow for today's game. I can already see teams drawing up plays to have him on one of their guards and repeatedly getting beat to the rim while pop doesn't make any adjustments.
Best player available is who we need to draft and if it's this dude, it's this dude. He has a higher ceiling than Poetl too.
If they pick him then they think he's not too slow for todays league.
I would pass.
Spurs working him out.
draftnet gives Goga a Nenad Krstic/Jusuf Nurkic NBA comparison.
