Used primarily as a reserve, Bitadze is not in a great spot to provide consistent fantasy value. However, Moritz Wagner (knee) is expected to miss the start of the regular season, and starter Wendell Carter Jr. surpassing 60 games played twice in his first seven seasons, there may be streaming opportunities for Goga. He isn’t a player worth drafting, but he should remain on the radar of managers willing to select Carter in their drafts.

Bitadze’s EuroBasket campaign ended early in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s quarterfinal defeat. He was whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul after receiving a technical earlier in the game, prompting his ejection. That was a disappointing end to the tournament for the Orlando Magic center, who played well in helping Georgia reach the quarterfinals for the first time in the nation’s history. However, while the conclusion was suboptimal, playing well against this level of competition is something Bitadze can build on as he prepares for another season in Orlando.

Bitadze has played well for Georgia during EuroBasket, with averages of 18.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.0 steal and 2.0 blocks per game. He’ll continue to play a reserve role behind Wendell Carter Jr. for the Magic this upcoming season, but performances like this are encouraging for his long-term value.

Georgia moves to 1-1 in EuroBasket with this loss to Italy, but that hasn’t prevented Bitadze from having success in the tournament. He has 37 points and three triples through two games, and he’ll continue to carry the offensive load for Georgia. Bitadze likely won’t see this much usage for Orlando next season, but he’ll be an effective reserve with streaming upside.

Bitadze was one of five players to score in double figures as George knocked off reigning EuroBasket champions Spain in the group play opener for both teams. While he hit a crucial fourth-quarter three-pointer (followed by a Sam Cassell-inspired celebration) to help the Georgians pull away, the Orlando Magic center was especially impactful on the offensive glass. Four of Bitadze’s five rebounds were of the offensive variety, and George finished with 16 offensive boards as a team. By comparison, Spain grabbed 18 defensive rebounds. Bitadze is another example of a player who will receive more opportunities with his national team than his NBA squad, as he’ll come off the bench in Orlando. However, in the past, he has been an effective streamer for stretches when the Magic were without Wendell Carter Jr.

“Just when I thought I was out...they pulled me back in.” Bitadze has been ineffective since late January, scoring in double figures four times in 23 appearances. While Wednesday was a good night for Bitadze, fantasy managers should not overreact. Wendell Carter Jr. remains the starter, and he finished with four points, six rebounds and one blocked shot in 19 minutes. Neither Magic center should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
