I saw only 2 games but Sanikidze moved really well. I wonder why he doesn't play more.
I also hope Bulter will improve and get a shoot of being in the rotation next summer. At the moment he looks like a keeper.
The Spurs summer league team has won two games in a row. Jackie Butler is leading the team in points, rebounds, assists and blocks. James White and Marcus Williams have both struggled offensively, but there have been decent flashes of promise defensively.
However, the surprise of the summer league so far has been Viktor Sanikidze. Although his stats aren't overwhelming, he has shown some nice promise. He's a 6-foot-8 to 6-foot-9 small forward who can move well, rebound and has a decent perimeter shot. Hopefully we get to see more of him throughout the rest of summer league.
This is the Spurs last game in Vegas before they move on to the Rocky Mountain Revue in Utah. They play Corey Brewer and the Timberwolves at 3PM CST.

The suprise of the Summer League may be Sanikidze, but since no one here had ANY expectations for him...I'd say that's not a big statement. He's still likely a couple years from contributing...
I'd say the bigger story is Jackie Butler proving to doubters that he CAN actually play. I understand why people doubted it, with Butler arriving overweight, being lambasted in the media (thanks Ludden!), and not getting a chance to showcase his skills on the court for a full year.
But, if these early games are any indication....Butler is setting alot of doubters straight. I really hope this kid gets a legitimate shot at displacing Elson in the rotation....
Any chance of getting this online?
I'm ready for some more of that patented Sanikidze Hustle.
Starts in five minutes.
