Nikoloz Tskitishvilli Invited To Camp
Quote:
|
The Knicks have 14 players with guaranteed contracts and one open roster spot. Among the training camp invitees competing for the final roster spot will be forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili, the fifth overall pick in the 2002 draft. Tskitishvili, 7 feet and 225 pounds, has failed to stick with four previous teams.

You must think we do not like money. The guy seems to be another product of people overhyping foreigners and their ability to have their games translate into NBA play. I'm not sure if any team has really tried to define a role for him besides the Nuggets who at one point thought he'd be a pillar of their franchise. The guy should be able to shoot and rebound reasonbly well for a guy 7-1 so maybe we should look to mold him into a role player that can fill that role for us rather than be something he's not.

Re: Nikoloz Tskitishvilli Invited To Camp
skita cant make the team unless he just knocks the knicks socks off....they need a center not a 225 pound sf who happens to be 7 ft.
he made a bad decision in coming to camp he would have been netter off going to europe or the D league.

From what I hear, he can't even get a deal in Europe. I remember reading an article when he was drafted that they were shocked over there that the NBA had any interest in him.

Re: Nikoloz Tskitishvilli Invited To Camp
Knicks Sign Skita, Three Others
2nd October, 2006 - 11:16 am
Press Release - New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations Isiah Thomas announced today that forward Elton Brown, guard Milone Clark, center Paul Miller and forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili have been signed as free agents. As per club policy, terms of the deals are not announced.
Skita actually is not a bad player. His rookie year he was supposed to get a lot of PT, but our winning streak that got us in the playoffs made it difficult for him to get minutes. He can really shoot the ball, but needs to get tougher in the post. He's very, very young, and has a huge upside.
He's having a hard time adjusting to the NBA style of physical play, though. However, since you guys have a big front line with Curry and Ewing (d'oh! Was dreaming back to the 90's), well, anyway, you'll have a shot at making Skita a tall SF who will fit in.
If he fits with your team, you're in for a surprise. He's actually quite good when given time.

Re: Nikoloz Tskitishvilli Invited To Camp
Wait, they signed 3 guys. That makes 17. If those contracts are non-guaranteed, and Skita doesn't make it, I'll want my money back, Kitty.
