In somewhat of a surprise to me, Sandro Mamukelashvili (Mamu) got the boot next on our Ranking the Roster series, narrowly nabbing more votes over Mamadi Diakite. I’ll wax poetic about Mamu plenty below, but outside of some athleticism advantages, I haven’t seen all that much from Diakite that makes me feel more encouraged than the glimpses of Mamu. Both are unlikely to matter come next postseason, but I’m more intrigued by the former Seton Hall product for certain.
I didn’t know all that much about Sandro Mamukelashvili coming out of college, but he stole my heart in Summer League.
