Tornike Shengelia will wear jersey #23 next season in Moscow.
The Georgian forward thanked the Italian combo guard for giving him his number.
Shengelia explained how things went and how great Daniel Hackett has been.
Via Eurohoops, "Daniel is a great guy. When I called him and asked him to consider letting me wear #23, he did not even allow me to finish the sentence," he recalled, "He said "no problem", that he respects me as a player and a person, and he wants me to be comfortable with this team and if this is what it takes he was willing to give it to me. That was something amazing."
