Top Raptors Stories of 2025: Could Sandro Mamukelashvili be the Raptors secret weapon?
"The year of 2025 has been one defined maybe most by wild swings of emotion for the Toronto Raptors. Toronto traded for Brandon Ingram, which allowed it to continue to tank to end the year. Then the team didn't rise in the draft and added Collin Murray-Boyles. The season started, and the team looked great! (For one game.) Then terrible, then great, now terrible again. A real roller coaster."
"The Toronto Raptors signed big man Sandro Mamukelashvili to a two-year contract. But what can they expect from him? Mamukelashvili, affectionately known as 'Mamu,' is entering his fifth season in the NBA, having played for the Milwaukee Bucks and most recently the San Antonio Spurs. Mamu is a dribble, pass, and shoot player, which aligns with Darko Rajakovic's ideal build for that position. And while he is an undersized big (standing at 6-foot-9 without shoes), he's developed into a potent three-point shooter, knocking down 37%"
The Toronto Raptors signed Sandro Mamukelashvili to a two-year contract amid a volatile 2025 season that included the Brandon Ingram trade, a tanking finish, and the Collin Murray-Boyles draft pick. Mamukelashvili enters his fifth NBA season after time with the Milwaukee Bucks and San Antonio Spurs. Nicknamed 'Mamu,' he profiles as a dribble-pass-and-shoot big who fits Darko Rajakovic's positional preferences. At an undersized 6-foot-9 without shoes, he possesses reliable long-range shooting, converting 37% from three-point range, and offers playmaking and spacing that could provide meaningful offensive value.
