Nikoloz Tskitishvili was a 7-0 power forward from the European country of Georgia, taken with the 5th overall pick by Denver in the 2002 NBA Draft.
Tskitishvili played for four seasons in the NBA for the Nuggets, Warriors, Timberwolves & Suns, with career averages of three points and two rebounds per game.
His best pro game came in his rookie season against the Lakers, where he compiled 17 points and five rebounds.
After his rookie season, Tskitishvili bounced around the league, including a stint in Europe, but never really having a big impact on any given NBA team.
Clearly, Tskitishvili didn't live up to the expectations that come with being a top five pick, and copped intense criticism because of it.
Tskitishvili then went back overseas, playing for a number of teams in a number of countries including Iran, Italy, Spain, Lebanon and more. He has been a part of championship winning teams in Europe, and is still playing in Lebanon today.
