This 2020-21 basketball season looks to be an exciting one for Illini fans. With so many returning players and exciting newcomers, Brad Underwood and Co. has the envious problem of working out a rotation with such quality depth, both talent and experience wise.
The team could see an added boost if Giorgi can return to his freshman season form. It was evident that the Rustavi, Georgia, native struggled to adjust to the position change brought on by the presence of Kofi Cockburn last season. It forced him into a stretch four role last season, which didn’t suit his strengths rooted in energy plays and operating on the block.
