"Mamukelashvili actually led the Raptors on Monday night for most minutes played in the rotation ( 22:40 of playing time), where he used every bit of that on-court run to show what he's capable of. Mamukelashvili racked up 15 points, on 75% field goal shooting, 60% from three, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals. He showed aggression and hustle, which are certainly attributes that the Raptors organization appreciates, and his ability to stretch the floor was more than apparent."
"After hearing that the Raptors signed Mamukelashvili in free agency to a very team-friendly deal - a two-year contract worth $5.5 million - I saw it as Toronto likely striking gold on a valuable backup big man. Mamukelashvili had shown in flashes during his time with San Antonio that he can produce effectively even in limited minutes. Additionally, he looked great during this past summer's EuroBasket tournament representing his native Georgia,"
Sandro Mamukelashvili played 22:40 and produced 15 points on 75% field-goal shooting, 60% from three, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals in the preseason game. He led the Raptors in minutes and displayed aggression, hustle, and consistent floor-spacing ability. The Raptors lost 112-108 to the Denver Nuggets in Vancouver, but the performance highlighted Mamukelashvili's potential as a valuable backup big. Toronto signed him to a two-year, $5.5 million team-friendly contract after flashes with San Antonio and a strong EuroBasket showing for Georgia. The production merits cautious optimism given the limited sample size of preseason play.
