Scouting Report! What Does PF/C Sandro Mamukelashvili Bring to the Lakers?

One of the big moves the Lakers made after the big Walker Kessler trade was to wrap up former Raptors PF/C Sandro Mamukelashvili. The Georgian vet has been a darling of the analytics community for a while, but had a breakout year last season, showing chops as a passer, rebounder and energy-bringer. But enough to justify a four year, $52 million contract? 

The Lakers hope so. 

But is Mamu a power forward? A center? Can he play starters minutes? Can he hold up enough defensively to perhaps even outplay that contract? 

And what does Mamu look like on a Luka Doncic-led squad? 

To answer all of these questions and more, we bring in Sean Woodley, host of Locked On Raptors for a comprehensive scouting report. 

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with guest Sean Woodley!
