What are everyone's thoughts on Sandro Mukashavili?? To me at least, He seems like a very solid versatile big man ( 4/5 ) with a unique and versatile skillset. I love his ballhandling, mobility, and passing. But not entirely sure of what an accurate comparison/ projection would be for him. I'd like to believe that his ultimate upside could be something along the lines of a Nikola Jokic 2.0 in the right situation!

And as a potential late 2nd- undrafted prospect, I'd wager that he'll be a steal for the right team. So.................

Again, What are everyone's thoughts about him? What's his realistic projection and upside?

Mamu should be a Pelican prospect at 34

Based on the very little I've seen (some scouting videos, that's all), he looks like an ridiculously fun to watch offensive player. I'm a fan. If he's there at #54, I'd love my Pacers to draft him. He could definitely be a steal with his skill level.

He reminds me of Demarcus Cousins but not as good of a rebounder or scorer. Just like Cousins I don’t know if they leads to winning basketball. He would have to become a better rim protector to stay on the court.

Defensively, he's a disaster. Needs a lot of work.

hes fun to watch on offense because he has a very high skill set for his size but yea, defensively he's a mess and is old already.

definitely draftable tho.

Defensively, he's non-existent. Neither a rim protector, nor a switchable defender. He's a bit longer than Sabonis so he could perhaps become a viable rim-protector with a lot of training but he is 22 and hasn't shown any insticts for it yet.

I see him as a purely offensive player that will need to be hidden on defense.
