Sandro Mamukelashvili was a fan favorite while he wore silver and black. The New York-bred big man from Seton Hall was easy to love. He was always positive, played with energy, and was a great teammate. It was frustrating to watch him get stuck on the end of the bench, as the versatile forward got little playing time during his tenure in San Antonio. That's changed for him in Toronto.

Mamu went from averaging 12.5 minutes per game over the two-plus seasons with the Spurs to 20.4 this season with the Raptors. He's averaging 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, shooting 53% from the field and 40% from deep.
