Analysis:

The odds of earning a roster spot were stacked against Tskitishvili, the fifth overall pick of the 2002 NBA Draft. His last NBA appearance was in 2006, he played just four seasons averaging 2.9 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.4 minutes. This may be the official end to Tskitishvili's NBA journey, now 32, this draft bust will most likely look to keep his career afloat overseas.
