Indiana Pacers' first-round pick Goga Bitadze could bring unique versatility to the roster.
"Another Center?! I was shocked at first. But I get it. Me & Myles need a back up & Bitadze is a great player. I talked with him after the draft. He is a hard worker & Pacers will make him better. We needed player like him.“Sabonis' shock was the story of that quote; his praise for the work ethic of the Pacers rookie went overlooked. But with an unknown like Bitadze, no detail can be completely ignored.
“Goga had a wish to test himself against the best in Europe,” a person with knowledge of the move told me. “It was his desire to accept a loan to a team that plays [in] EuroLeague.” That rim protection shined to teams in Europe and in Indiana. Budućnost Voli was drawn to it. “The thing that popped most about [Bitadze] was his shot blocking,” I was told by a person close to the team. “His presence alone changed a lot of shots.”. “I want somebody who plays hard and protects the rim, and Goga does that," the Pacers’ President of Basketball Operations said soon after the draft.Bitadze reads the game defensively at a high level, a testament to his high basketball IQ.
