NBA Draft Scouting 2002

41. Nikoloz Tskitishvili

Benneton - Italy 6'11" PF, SF,

Born in 1983. Still raw at 19 years old. His body will grow. Athlete. He's skinny but has broad shoulders. ...He moved to Italy for the 2001-02 season, signed on January '02 by Benetton Basket Treviso of Italy. Tskitishvili can shoot, and is more mobile than most his size. …He has legit small forward qualities at 6'11". ...He's a good one-on-one, player because of size, and ball-handling ability. He likes to block shots, and does that well, otherwise, he needs to learm how to play NBA defense. He has skills hard to ignore at 6'11". Upside seems HUGE.
