[QUOTE="haasi, post: 1527295, member: 9034"] Giorgi needs to learn his role and develop into it. Last year he was our major low post threat and thrived at scoring offensively, where we had no other options. He was just OK in other aspects, but overall he was of huge value to the team as a low post scoring threat where we had no other options that it didn’t matter. This year his role is very different. To play with Kofi (as opposed to just being our backup 5), he needs to become a threat from the outside, with some ability to create for others, and he needs to be able to defend the wing at a high level. I see one of two routes for Giorgi, and it depends almost entirely on his development. (1) rotation big who gets limited minutes backing up Kofi. Or (2) starter level 4. If he wants to get to number 2, he has a tremendous amount of work to do in the offseason. Shooting, handling, playmaking, agility, wing defense. That said, I think he’s very motivated and talented, so I think it’s in the realm of possibility. [/QUOTE]
