Forward Rep. of Georgia 6-11, 250 2002-03 Stats: |
Zaur Pachulia The Skinny: Pachulia is another European that stayed in the draft because he apparently got a first round guarantee (he entered the draft last year but withdrew). He has risen through the Turkish basketball ranks and has slowly become a major contributor for his team. He is likely more of an NBA power forward than a center, but has nice post moves offensively and is willing to play physical inside. Like many other European big men, he has a nice touch from mid-range and knows the art of passing. Look for a team that’s willing to stash him as a 11th or 12th man while working |
