Tiago Splitter vs. Nazr Mohammad

[apalisoc_9]

a few questions to answer..

- Who was more valuable during their championship run with the spurs
-who prodcuded more value over the course of their contracts

- Better ovrall player?


I personally think, Tiago is the most valuable big out of all the role player bigs from 2004-2015.

Possibly the fourth most valuable role player from 04-14

[cd021]

Splitter.

Splitter was great vs Dallas and Portland and solid vs. OKC and Miami in limited minutes.

[baseline bum]

Horry was far and away the most valuable role player big in that time period, but I'd take Splitter's pick and roll defense and passing over Mohammed any day.

Splitter

:lol Malik Rose or Nick Van Exel?

[MI21]

Tiago for mine.

Mohammed's offensive rebounding and willingness to dunk was a sight for sore eyes after a few years of Rash though.

[T Park]

Mohammed came in a season and a half after Rash so there wasn't "seasons"


Tiago. Way smarter, way better defender, not as talented as Nazr offensively though.

It seemed like most of Mohammed's offense was just dunks spoon fed from Manu though. I think Splitter was way better offensively considering how elite of a passer he was.

[MaNu4Tres]

Splitter.

He could have helped a lot more during his stint with the Spurs if Pop didn't pull the " it's not fair to the others" card by playing Bonner and Blair way too much the first two years. Pop really dropped the ball on that situation, the 11' and 12' team could have been much better than it was.

Splitter should have been starting by the All-Star break of his rookie year. He would have made a big difference in the 11' Grizzlies series and 12' OKC series in 2012 had he had a bigger role. It's a joke that Pop rode Bonner/Blair.

Agree 100%

[CGD]

Agree that there seem to be missed opportunities in 11 and 12 with not using Splitter more, but every other week it seemed he had some new injury. Just when you thought splitter was going to take the next step, bam, a fluke injury.

[BD24]

shitter obviously

what's next, manu vs derek anderson?

[8FOR!3]

I think Splitter would've been better if we would've came to the Spurs a little younger and developed here.

[TheGreatYacht]

Nazr shoved Lebron.
Lebron blocked Shitter.

You decide.

[Chinook]

:lol Nazr shoved Lebron, got ejected, and the Heat still won the series.

The slight rebounding edge to NAZR is probably due to the fact that he was mostly stationed near/under the basket while Splitter was often used on the high post because of his ability to pass and work the PNR. If you factor in BB IQ, there is no comparison.

What most Spurs Talk members remember about NAZR is that he absolutely could NOT take a pass and go up for a layup or dunk without a really really bad fake. EVERY TIME.

[bigfan]

Splitter was better but Nazi wasn't too bad.

He had a pretty decent hook shot and a jump shot out to the free throw line.

More like approximately 4-6 bad pump fakes every time.
