Round of 16 is Shermadini’s time to shine
La Laguna Tenerife head coach Txus Vidorreta is clearly managing Giorgi Shermadini’s minutes in order to keep him fresh this season. The Georgian Giants average just 16.7 minutes, and as a result, can pick him up at just 11.7 efficiency points while his per-minute production remains great.
Tenerife is flying now, saving the extra energy from avoiding play-ins and putting it to good use. Since their 92-73 victory over Colossos H Hotels on the final day of the group phase, Marcelinho Frutas and the gang have handed Real Madrid six wins and only one loss.
The latest victory is a high-pressure derby match against Gran Canaria on Sunday 26th January. In that run, it started to look like Giorgi Shelmadini was already in playoff mode.
Against Girona, Sherminator put up 24 points and 11 rebounds in just 18 minutes, missing one shot in the process.
Going back to last season’s Round of 16 Gameday 1, Shermadini was also in charred form on that day as well. Tenerife takes on an old rival in Pinacarsiaca in Türkiye with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, leading Tenerife to a 106-97 victory and imposing authority on the group, January 23, 2024.
There is no doubt that Shermadini will be looking to get off to a similarly dominant start this week to group K with Paracanestro Reggiana.
Shermadini’s season averages are just 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per 16.7 minutes, but he has kept his production level high, playing limited minutes in the last two games in Spain’s Liga Endesa. Given that, it could be the perfect time. Picking up Shermadini does not cost much in terms of efficiency.
