Although Virtus Segafredo Bologna started the season off with a narrow loss, the Italian team rebounded quickly and became one of the hottest teams in the competition, and Tornike Shengelia was undoubtedly the high performer of the squad.

The Georgian power forward averaged 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game in the October games of the EuroLeague, providing an all-around performance for his squad.

Shengelia also has played with remarkable efficiency, averaging only 2.6 turnovers and shooting with accuracy (almost 53% from three-point range and 75% from two-point range).

Winning 4 games in a row after the initial defeat, Virtus Bologna became one of the hottest teams in the EuroLeague.

The power forward was instrumental in orchestrating this run, as he averages 23.6 PIR in the competition.

After having an injury-plagued last year, the Georgian has found himself renewed under the helm of coach Luca Banchi, who was brought to the head of the Virtus Bologna bench just before the season.

Shengelia and Virtus Bologna will host Anadolu Efes Istanbul on the 3rd of November.
