Love love love Giorgi, picked him as the next Augie....that said, if he is moved to a more natural 4 position, he might regress output wise. He does very well and I mean as in excellent with back to basket with his little flip shot and those opportunities may come fewer and far between if he isnt playing the block area (normally reserved for traditional 5) is what I am saying.
At least we don't have holes in our roster like when Underwood took the reigns. I kind of agree on Giorgi --if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but they'll figure that out. If he can score on all 3 levels, he gone! He's become so good defensively for a freshman big, it kind of makes my head spin. You watch how he plays defense, and you realize he has a lot of awareness and IQ already. Doesn't commit the stupid moves that take him out of the game, and has that feel for when to switch that's hard to teach. Doing it as a freshman? Whoa....
Giorgi working with Kofi (or any of the bigs) sounds pretty good to me. If ever there were a young guy that could rise up to help the young guys along, it would be Giorgi. No opinion on who would take his back-up minutes, but we're losing ADR, so they'll be some time available. I could see them experimenting with Giorgi elsewhere, but his post play is outstanding --knows when he can take his man, which is pretty much anytime he's 1-1, and knows to pass out when there should be a better opportunity. I love that teams have tried going 1-1 with him, only to suffer mightily. He'll for sure draw more attention from here out, but he will make others better even if he doesn't put it in the hole.
Recruiting-wise, I'm more worried about finding another ball handler. We have Ayo/Trent/Feliz, and it's hard to know if we'll have Ayo next year. I'm not sure who would be next, but I love that we have two guys who can do what those two can in the back-court.
