Goga Bitadze

If you don’t know who Goga Bitadze is, I recommend looking him up. This guy can play and looks like a definite first round pick.

Bitadze isn’t the most athletic player in the world, but he makes up for it with his feel for the game. He’s good in a lot of areas. He’s shown he can score with his back to the basket, he has potential to stretch the floor with his soft touch and hit from the perimeter, and he can defend.

He just simply knows how to play the game. His feel is amazing and he’s only 19 years old. As he gets older, he’ll add more to his game and grow even wiser.

Standing at 6’11” and with a 7’2″ wingspan, Bitadze possesses good height and length that will help him at the next level. He also has a pretty strong frame and should be able to adjust to the physicality of the NBA.

I don’t think Bitadze will be a lottery pick, but I would have no problem taking him in the middle of the first round. If he decides to declare for the draft and works out for teams, his stock could go up and help him even more.
