Strengths:
Tskitishvili is a 7-footer that can shoot from the outside, handle the ball, and run the floor. He has a ton of talent and potential that will drive his stock on draft night. As a scorer, Tskitishvili has a decent shooting stroke and consistent range out to 18 feet. When slashing in the lane, he shows a nice touch around the basket and good body control. He handles the ball very well for a player his size and has good court vision. On defense, his long arms and leaping ability should make him an adequate shot blocker. He’s a competent rebounder thanks to his anticipation and positioning.
Weaknesses:
Tskitishvili’s game is still very raw, as he doesn’t get a lot of playing time for his team in Italy. He isn’t comfortable yet with his back to the basket, post moves are still in development. Is somewhat streaky from behind the three-point line where he has yet to develop consistency. Doesn’t have the best upper body strength, he gets pushed off the blocks a lot and has problems when guarded by physical defenders.
