I said it here first. He won't start over tim or LMA or play more than west but when he plays he'll be a stud. Called it here first.

[offset formation]

He needs to learn to keep the ball high before jumping. He drops it where the little folks reach in on him too much.

Hopefully that guy ain't on the fucking roster next year.

Not saying he won't be a great option against some teams but no way he is better than Splitter. Splitter could defend, play pnr and pass. This guy is huge and can dunk....

here are some comments:
As Crvena Zvezda fan, from Serbia, I can answer any question you guys have.
I watched almost every game in the last couple of seasons Bobi played for us.
First of all, he is a great guy, great teammate.
Second, almost all of this videos are from 2013/2014, where he showed some promise, but not from his breakout season 2014/2015.

Hello, i am also a Red Star fan and i hope to answer all of the question about him.
First of all, he played alot of ICE defence on the pick and roll. In Red Star, he usually gives more ground for the opposing player to take the mid range jumper but he can defend the pick and roll in ICE defense very effectivly and in the Euroleague he managed to contain alot of good PG’s in the pick and roll. I dont know his wingspand but it is huge and it is really difficult to get a shot over him.
He is mobile for his size – keep in mind, he is no Yao Ming but for his size he is mobile, and he can run the pick and roll, if he gets the ball in the paint close to the basket its money for him. But his real strenght is his post up game which is excellent and i cant see it not to translate to the NBA level simply because of his size. He has a soft hand and jump hook and he also has a couple of pump fakes in his arsenal. He is also a willing passer – not quite there yet but because of all the double teams they have been sending against him this season he had to pick it up fast. He is also a terrific FT shooter and he can knock down the mid range jumper. He didnt take too many of them simply because he cannot do anything else if he has the ball at the free throw line but if he is left open he will shoot it and it is pretty realiable. He also does not box out because it is hard to do that at that size but he is so big and his hands are so big he just picks up the ball on defense, and on offense if nobody boxes him out it is his ball and it usually end with him either getting fouled or getting the putback.
You will also love his personality. He is a very nice guy, a gentle giant, and a great teammate.
The problems with him is that he will probably get bullied by strong centers down in the low post who can push him into the paint, he will also probably struggle against explosive guards, he is a bit slow and clunky, but i think he is a low risk – high reward center. He was very dominant in the Euroleague and he bullied Milutinov in both the Adriatic league and the Serbian league. I think he really belongs in the NBA and i am happy that he is in San Antonio and that he will be great with both Diaw and LMA playing alongside him.

I watched Marjanović a lot in the adriatic league and in the euroleague last couple of seasons and i also had the opportunity to watch Baynes while he was in europe in those leagues. What i can say without a doubt that Marjanović for Baynes is Hakeem from his best days. Boban is a late bloomer, two years ago he was just a tall guy, now he has developed extremely in the last couple of seasons. He was MVP of first part of a season in Euroleague, he developed his post up game, he doesn’t jump very high but he really doesn’t need to, he will secure rebounds easy and can intimidate guards going to the basket on defensive end. I think it’s a steal to have him for 2m for one year and most definetly he is upgrade over Baynes
those are GODLY numbers in the euroleague. Tiago’s stats were less impressive than that in european competition.

[marinoman]

So we signed one of the monstars?

Reading this, it sounds crazy to hear that the Spurs were the only ones who wanted to pay the guy. Did people just forget about him? Does he secretly suck?

[duncan2150]

I think that a lot of teams were focused on domestic players and they forgot this guy

I really like this sign, will see how his game translate to the nba with more big guys than in euroleague

What i like is that he have good hands and with his height he would probably be effective in the nba

[littlecoyotecoin]

"He was very dominant in the Euroleague and he bullied Milutinov in both the Adriatic league and the Serbian league."

I'm feeling emotionally confused about this. Not sure if I has a happy or I has a sad.

I think that the Spurs are ahead of the time when it comes to scouting talent and analytics (example: corner three). RC told Zach Lowe in a podcast that they follow games in Serbian league for example. Also, nobody can guarantee that he will succeed in NBA, there is always a risk.

[tatteredprince]

have watched them all already

hes becoming my fav player!!

this just shows how far-ranging the Spurs scouts are....

hell, they probably have scouts observing in Alaska or Norway

they probably already have scouted Pacquaio and have an idea of the soccer skills of Chess champ Magnus Carlsen!

Pop and RC (and the whole Spurs org) are very respected in Europe. They are considered an NBA franchise who takes genuine chances on non US players and the one organisation where foreign players have a level playing field. For that reason I am sure they are getting a lot more info and early intel on players' developments. Coaches are more likely to recommend their projects to franchises where they'll get an honest chance.

[Kool Bob Love]

i just hope they show lots of videos of the Classics

he would learn a lot from them

example, for offensive moves, he could learn from Kareem Abdul Jabbbar

for defense, Bill Russell

for ability to play in the post, Hakeem

[tatteredprince]

is this the strongest Spurs roster ever?

compares favorably with 1999, 2003 and 2014

So spurs are now allowed to violate his contract after he failed phisical or they were stupid to sign him without this clause at first? Why spurs international players get injured all the time? Is that a curse?

[Old School 44]

Fairly nimble guy. Not sure I buy into the "he's too slow" narrative. He seems to have good footwork and is quick around the basket and has great touch. I look forward to seeing him play.

Injury update: http://www.nba.com/spurs/boban-marjanovic-injury-update

At least Spurs didn't rescind contract!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I would imagine the Serbian national team is a little upset. The Spurs telling them he can't play with the national team so he can be well-rested to ride the pine in San Antonio.

"We need Boban in top physical condition for his 36 game appearances this season. How in the heck are we supposed to manage the last 2 minutes of 20 point blowouts this season, or the last 35 seconds of a half after Tim or LaMarcus pick up their 3rd foul! After all, Matty is just a basketball player, NOT a machine!!"

[hater]

Lol destroying his dreams to play for Serbia for a few minutes of PT in blowout wins :lol

[BackHome]

You never know what is going to happen with the health of players he could get very little time if everyone is healthy or he could have to start many games..It's all up to the basketball god..

He doesn't make mistakes out there. As compared to Ayres and Baynes. Damn can't believe but he could be an upgrade over them. He is IMO

[HarlemHeat37]

^^long way to go to be an upgrade over Baynes, relax:lol..

Anybody outside of Jimmer is an upgrade over Ayres, though..

[TheGreatYacht]

Checking in

:worthy: Boban

[HarlemHeat37]

He looked surprisingly mobile for a man his size..wasn't expecting that, at all..

I expected his defense to look as slow as his offense did..

[Mugen]

Looked a lot better than I thought he would. Picking up a technical against Cousins 10 seconds into his NBA career already makes him one of my fav players on the team tbh.

[Mamuza94]

Easy.

652342015267442689

Yup cousins was clearly fuming on the bench while Boban brought us back from. 14 pt hole.

He also has very good hands.

[spurraider21]

that was a 3 second violation about 2 seconds before he got the shot off :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

He looked atrocious on offense, tbh:lol..to be fair, the entire team was lost, for the most part..

[ElNono]

He was neck and neck with Lamarcus Aldrige on offense tonight, tbh...

[spurs10]

He was neck and neck with Lamarcus Aldrige on offense tonight, tbh... Yeah there ya go. It's pre-season ....Boban was a surprise...think he will play a part in this years quest...

Of course he is an upgrade over Ayres.
You'd be an upgrade over Ayres, mate

[AFMadison]

Needs to learn how to catch a basketball

[testies]

are you guys kidding? i thought he was awful

[benfti]

He had people seriously adjusting their shots and the were trying floaters from quite deep in the paint

[venitian navigator]

I see too many different opinions about him...from very good to awful. Frankly, this way is impossile to have an idea about his impact in the game. Ok it's been just some minutes, but I find it intersting that people can have so different ideas about his outcome in this came...

[dbestpro]

Can't wait to see the Boban bobble head. It's got the be at least 12 inches tall.

[random21]

Easy.

652342015267442689

So slow on the defensive rotations, but runs a good pick n roll... Can bail out Tony

[Thunder1]

He had people seriously adjusting their shots and the were trying floaters from quite deep in the paint
yep..

[hater]

The people that say he was awful possibly have watch 1 or 2 real games in their lifetime.

He not only brought us back down 14. His mobility and blocks were great. He even had a steal. His first game in the league could not have gone any better.

[LittleCriminal]

Only vids of his 1st bucket? What about his first block or his 1st technical.. Scoring isn't everything.

[Brian Windhorst]

For a brolic 7'3, this dude really has no rebounding instincts whatsoever. WCS got that last offensive rebound right over Boban.

[ceperez]

I think it is more of a lack of quickness and mobility. I think you surround him with a lot of quick athletic guys help rebound. But he's pretty good at being able to screen out the opposing center from getting the ball. Let him do this and let the other guys pick up the rebound.

People seem to forget that when they put his on the court, the team rallied back. They took him out also, and then the Kings built up a lead. It was obvious that the Kings were intimidate with his presence. Even Marco had made a terrible shot with Boban just right in front of him and not really contesting the shot. Marco's shot almost missed the rim entirely.

[Johnny RIngo]

Stein's a lottery talent though. Of course he's going to have a lot more upside than a no name big man from Europe. People should probably temper their expectations with Boban, especially when it comes to comparing him to legit young talent.

[ChumpDumper]

For a brolic 7'3, this dude really has no rebounding instincts whatsoever. WCS got that last offensive rebound right over Boban.I think it was Simmons who failed to box out.

[Spurs9]

I missed it on the bootleg stream I was watching, what was his technical for?

[ceperez]

The guy is so big that he inadvertently elbowed Cousins in the face! I guess he didn't realize that Cousins was that small!

For some reason, people expect Boban to box out more than two players!

[playbonner15]

[playbonner15]

Whats up with those fade-away hooks though?

[bigfan]

Looks like he isn't afraid of going toe to toe with Cousins; kinda clunky but you cant teach giant.

[hater]

Lol he manhandled boobie cousins like a rag doll :lol

[LittleCriminal]

Some of those calls on Boban were iffy..

[MarCowMar]

That was a fantastic pass by Anderson to Boban for his first points.

[ChumpDumper]

Kyle has the right idea getting the ball to Boban high. Bounce passes are useless to this guy.

[HarlemHeat37]

Feel bad for Jimmer, though, Boban blew his only opportunity to shine:lol..

[Maddog]

Not bad.
Definitely not the fastest guy, but not as slow as I expected.
I see some potential as a role player.

[Spurs9]

I'm still surprised watching that vid how fast Boban is running down the court for his size.

[TheGreatYacht]

Boban and David West standing on the sideline waiting to check in.... :lol stacked

[jermaine]

Him an Ginobili runnin the p&r is gonna be nasty

[monkeypunk]

Wasn't too impressed with his hands. He bobbled almost everything tossed to him. But I was very impressed with his defensive instincts. Once he figures out rotations, he'll be a beast on that end.

On offense, I think as others have said that bounce passes won't work for him but the pnr or high/low with a taller passer like KA should be unguardable.

[spurraider21]

Him an Ginobili runnin the p&r is gonna be nasty
nasty like turnover heavy?

[jermaine]

nasty like turnover heavy?

Lmbo, that too! U sound like u know who Ginobili is.

[Raven]

he looks pretty good

[daslicer]

Just watched his highlights. Judging by the highlights he looks like he can be a serviceable backup center.

[ironman2886]

I'm still surprised watching that vid how fast Boban is running down the court for his size.
His north to south speed is pretty damn good. That was one of the pros I first noticed about him when I watched highlights of him this summer. Normally, men his size have the stride, but have no speed. It's fluid running. Even his pick n roll quickness was surprising good.

[jyra]

He usually has pretty good hands. You could see that the chemistry just wasn't there with the guards on all the pick and rolls. He barely hit any on ball defenders with his screens but that should improve over time as the guys get to know each other's tendencies. Don't forget that he just recently started practicing with the rest of the team.

He'd better get used to that high-low ish from Anderson though. That's going to be money.

Wow what timing

[DeRozan m8]

Loved him roughing up DMC.
He'll be worth the money alone using him to come in and beat up the opposition 'tough guy', put them off a bit

[jermaine]

The fact it won't be Bonner tryna guard bugs is a plus to me. Lol

[admiralsnackbar]

As other posters unfamiliar with his game have mentioned, his raw talent is surprising (in a good way). Gotta say I'm most impressed by his confidence, though: he clearly believes he belongs on the floor in his first game. Can't say that about a lot of new Spurs, past or present.

[UZER]

Easy.

[SpursFan86]

I think it's a bit foolish to worry about his hands or rebounding because of one game. Both of those things were strong suits of his over in Europe. He's known for having fantastic hands for someone his size, and I seem to recall hearing that he set rebounding records in European leagues.

[Fireball]

agree regarding his hands ... his rebounding might not translate that well into the NBA as the players are more athletic here and in the few minutes he played it looked like people easily outjumped him to get a rebound. but I want to see more of him :hungry:

[TheGoldStandard]

I wonder if the Spurs could petition the NBA to allow Boban to play in a singlet jersey just to up his "brand"

I don't think it's foolish, since it's one of the main deal breakers when it comes to oversized players. Fumbling balls, foot injuries, incapability to make a ft, fouling, lack of agility.

But he displayed great hands all throughout his time in Europe. If you read scouting reports on him you almost always hear mention of his soft hands. It really doesn't make sense to throw out everything he's shown in the past and instead choose to focus on 10 minutes of basketball where he looked like he had stone hands.

[monkeypunk]

Hopefully the fumbling was due to him not being familiar with his new team so not knowing when to expect a pass and from where.

[ChumpDumper]

Hopefully the fumbling was due to him not being familiar with his new team so not knowing when to expect a pass and from where.Yeah, the Jimmer pass was low and unexpected. If he drops the little lob pass from Kyle consistently, I'll be concerned. In the end, it's just two passes.

I didn't say anything like that, just that we need to take notice. And anyway, it's easier to dribble in europe, players reach much less.

Nba players are faster and bigger so they can close the gaps easier which gives him less room to maneuver anyway.

Overall, I think it was an intriguing start for the giant. How he learns to compensate for the higher level of play will be the key to his success.

First of all, if he gets the lob or high pass, he needs to not bring the ball down. No way anyone can get to the ball if it's over his head.

I am really excited to watch him play some more with Diaw, Kyle, and Manu, just in general there are a lot of guys capable of setting him up in that second unit. I saw some of the "wall defense" in last game, where perimeter players just stayed in front of their man, not channeling him specifically to Boban. There were a lot of experimental things that you could see in that second unit to close out the game last Thursday. I really liked what they were doing with him, and see the potential.

Willie Cauley Stein is just a tremendous athlete. I love him so much, he showed not only his athleticism but awareness of where his guys were making good passes from offensive rebounds. He has a lot of potential. Someone did need to box him out. lol

Man "Objective" was spot on about this dude! If he can stay healthy I think he can make a major impact with the second unit. Again props to "Objective" for posting about this guy as a potential Spur. Hope you can come to SA to see your man play

[hater]

Lmao so because scrubette threw a shitty pass at him now he has bad hands? :lmao

[SpurAddict561]

I'm excited to see him actually get some burn. He;s the biggest dude in the fucking league, what is there to lose?

[xellos88330]

I am a huge fan of him already. I really liked what I saw in his short time on the court. I think those fumbled passes were due to nerves mostly. One of the things in his scouting report was that he had really good hands. I do not expect those fumbled passes to be the standard for him. If he gets the ball anywhere near the basket, it is almost an automatic 2 points. His defense was extremely surprising to me. I didn't think that he would be able to keep up with the speed of the NBA, but he quickly let people know that they cannot attack him at the rim so easily. His length should help him in defending the PnR allowing him to sag a bit further back than most centers to compensate for potential slow feet.

Long story short, this performance made me set the bar a bit higher for him now because he didn't even need to jump to tear down the bar I originally set.

[xellos88330]

Lmao so because scrubette threw a shitty pass at him now he has bad hands? :lmao

Exactly... that was a bad pass, but at the same time, I fully expected Boban to catch it. There were worse passes he caught in Euroball. I really think it was just nerves.

[objective]

The pass from Jimmer wasn't fumbled out of bounds carelessly like Ayres. It was a great play by WCS who knocked it out of his hands and off Boban's body. Yes, Boban should have been stronger with the grip, but at least he wasn't losing it for no reason.

He moved better than I remember, and that's coming off a relatively short time of practice clearance where he probably still isn't in great basketball shape. It kind of makes me wonder how long he was playing through the foot pain. I remember it being reported as being a playoff thing, but maybe it had earlier origins.

Still a liability on defense on pick and rolls. Needs to set better picks. Needs to get used to hire NBA refs call games. Needs to work on boxing out. But overall I'm overall pretty happy,

And you should be happy. That was a great call by you. Even if Dangubic never comes over, that trade has paid dividends.

[playbonner15]

I see Boban + Kyle Anderson will be a nice combination in offense and in defence. If Kyle works on his drives, pairing him with Boban will make them really dangerous

[Chinook]

[benefactor]

Its early, but after 2 games he looks mentally and physically behind the NBA game.
Yeah...he's not going to do much this season beyond mop up duty and some help on back to backs...and it will likely take a whole season for him to figure it all out(if he does). The Spurs offense relies on fluidity and right now he's just out there thinking too much. The speed issue won't be near as big once he gets a more natural feel of the offense and gets some chemistry developed. Whether or not he can become decisive mentally will make or break him because he sure as hell isn't getting any faster.

[xellos88330]

Rebounding is looking more like a concern. He needs to go after it aggressively if he expects to rebound in the NBA. With him being so tall, you know the other NBA players are just itching to go at him and snatch the board away. Aside from that, his defense seems passable. He was thrown in a few PnR situations, but it looked like he handled it better than expected.

He looks like he panics on offense. Perhaps he needs to stop putting so much pressure on himself and just play fucking basketball. Dude looks scared when he touches the ball.
