According to Twitter, Giorgi was born in Georgia, moved to Austria, and then only to the United States last year. He had previously been playing with an Austrian professional club.

That video actually reminds me a bit of Mav. Looks like he has reasonable skills and good feel but the college game is likely to be about 1000x too quick and athletic for him at the outset.

I think they're fairly similar from 5 feet in, but Mav's game wasn't ever getting his own shot by putting it on the floor from the high post and/or hitting 3's. I think Giorgi is by far and away a better passer. Now, I'd really be impressed if Giorgio came close to Mav's efficiency or mid-range shooting touch.

Those highlights give me a lot more hope for Giorgi than I had previously. He showed the ability to put the skills from the drills we've seen him working on into production during a game.

Same reaction. He also looks physically ready to bang with the big boys.
