My Take
Tornike Shengelia is the kind of athlete I find quietly compelling. A 206 cm forward from Tbilisi who now suits up for FC Barcelona in the EuroLeague, he earned All-EuroLeague First Team honors in 2018, which puts him among the best on the continent. American basketball tends to soak up all the attention, but I have a soft spot for players who grind their way to the top of the European game. Carrying tiny Georgia on the international stage adds a layer of meaning. He's a player I'd happily watch, and one I think deserves far more recognition.
