Title: GIORGI MAKING THE NBA???
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on July 06, 2021, 08:36:27 AM
Doubtful but the Lakers (any team that has LeCrying James) need low level ($$$) help, since the dollars are already spoken for. Maybe Giorgi gets a chance here?

Great kid.
Have no idea what they are thinking.
Even if he ever learns how to shoot, he lacks quickness, speed,and athleticism to guard anyone at the 4, and lacks
rebounding, hops,and shot blocking skills to play post. 
He is a B version of Krutwig who is really limited also and will struggle to catch on anywhere.

 He's a great passer.

Krutwig is signed to play in Belgium.

Giorgi shot 50% on .2 three pointers a game

It's probably a tryout to fill the g league roster.

Could be worse things for him but I would guess he could make more and see family in Europe. Average G league is $7500k/month or 35k a year unless he is gets a Select two way contract which I highly doubt.
He will never see the NBA.

I know these kids have dreams but he's insane if he doesn't take his game to southern Europe. Way more money, he has a leg-up on other new players, and better chance at NBA in the future.

You mean unless the Lakers decide to sign him of course….. I mean wtf would he go to Europe or overseas if they’re willing to sign him?!

More money?

More money?

He can do that anytime. You think players dream of playing in Europe? Some never get a shot at the NBA and I’d bet most would take less money for a shot if they’ve got it. If it doesn’t work out or he gets cut at anytime he can go overseas and still have that opportunity.

Players routinely choose guaranteed Euro money over NBA roulette.

So ... yes.

He got a workout. His EU passport by itself probably has a higher market value for a usable basketball player than what he'd make in the G-league.

Foreplay possibly? Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports that Illinois forward Giorgi Bezhanishvili agreed to play Summer League with the Denver Nuggets. LOL ;D

Doesn't hurt him to get the reps. They need enough  guys to actually have the games.
He can get a Euro deal later.
Or he could do the 30k min G league thing.

Giorgi had rough outing. 5 fouls and 3 TOs in 15 minutes.
I saw some clips. He looked like a cop standing in the middle of busy street trying to direct traffic.

Looks like Tempo will be disappointed.

Well the Nuggets got their main players back from Covid issues. 
Giorgi got 3 minutes in this game which was blowout loss.

Maybe they let them keep the jersey as a memento.

Can hang it next to Reggie Theus' orange blazer and Charlie Villanueva's Illini jersey in the man cave.
