Pacers to be traded before Victor Oladipo: Goga Bitadze
Not much is known about Goga Bitadze. With 49 games under his belt in his NBA career, the Georgian rookie center has shown flashes of a really diverse frontcourt game, but nothing solid to bank on just yet.
So far in real game, non-garbage time situations, Bitadze has been called on when Myles Turner and/or Domantas Sabonis are injured or in foul trouble. With a lot of pressure on him to supplement what is missed from those two adequate frontcourt players, Bitadze has done quite well.
His defensive fundamentals are solid and his facilitating has been proficient for a player as young and inexperienced at the NBA level as he is. His frame is usable and can hang with the size of NBA centers.
Bitadze is far from a sure thing, but a rebuilding team looking to add a center that they can mold into whatever they want. A team that believes in their developmental abilities like the San Antonio Spurs seem to be a fit.
