Splitter the next Pau Gasol??

[BronxCowboy]

2000-2001 ACB league, FC Barcelona: Pau Gasol: 7'0", 227 lbs, 11.4 pts, 5.2 reb, 0.8 ast, 1.1 blocks in 24 mpg, age 20 at beginning of season

2006-2007 ACB league, Tau Ceramica: Tiago Splitter: 6'11", 222lbs, 11.3 pts, 5.4 reb, 0.7 ast, 0.8 blocks in 24 mpg, age 21 at beginning of season

Of course, Pau shot more 3's and is a little more of a shotblocker. What do you guys think?

[ChumpDumper]

No.

[Spurs Brazil]

No

[Typhoon]

Gasol will always >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Splitter

Splitter doesn't have the shaggy grizzly adams beard.

:lol True

Of course, I realize that Splitter is way too foul prone to play Gasol minutes even if he did develop like Gasol did. I'm also aware that he hasn't given any indication of doing that. Just wanted to stir the pot a bit (it's a long summer).

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Im sure that Gasol was much younger when he posted those numbers

Splitter is an old man for a prospect

I posted this realizing that it was a stretch . . . hence the ?? in the thread title. However, he was a year and a half younger, not much younger.

Gasol was a little younger, but 22 is old?

That's the age players get out of college.

Tiago will be the first Tiago :lol

22 is the new 30.

Or more if you're Greg Oden :lol

[Switchman]

More players need to grow big ass beards.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

barbosa is such a fu$%#@! ball hog!

[The Franchise]

Lets be real. When Leandro Barbosa is leading your team in scoring how good can everyone else be?

I guess he likes 'em young.

[dy-nasty21]

Tiago will be playing on a better defensive team than gasol alongside bowen, udoka, and timmy, which could make him very effective and do even better.

[picnroll]

Tiago 15 points on 6/11 and 11 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, 2 assists and 4 TOs in 34 minutes. Too bad Barbosa is such a gunner and hog. If Brazil had a guard Splitter could show more.

Splitter is good at tapping balls out for rebounds a la Oberto.

[RC's Boss]

Splitter has a lot of work to do if he's to have Gasol's offensive skills in the post.

[Spurs Brazil]

Agree. Tiago game is like Oberto. He also good in pick and roll plays. Too bad Leandro doesn't give him the ball back :ihit. But Tiago is younger and more athletic. Next season I hope he can learn a lot from Fabricio and TD.

[luna8190]

I dont know about him being as good as gasol. gasol was rookie of the year... I think splitter is going to help us out but I dont see a rookie of the year in his future.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

could happen

[ducks]

and you could stop posting stupid things to

[E20]

What were Splitters FG%?

[ChumpDumper]

In this tournament, Splitter is 56.5% from the floor

50% from the line :lmao

100% from the arc :elephant

As far as Euroleague goes, he was about 58% from the floor.

[ShoogarBear]

Splitter would look a whole lot better if he had any low post game to speak of.

Is Pete Newell's Big Man School still operational?

Is Pete Newell's Big Man School still operational?Yeah, it was held in Vegas earlier this month. They used to have a list of participants, but I haven't seen one lately.

[E20]

Those are pretty good percentages sans the FT%. Which is odd, because his low post game seems ugly. I mean his main arsenal is a no look hook shot that he throws up.

[T Park]

Wouldn't Tiago work better as a outside shooting center as opposed to a low post guy, so hes out of the way, and can feed Duncan on the high low?

Just wonderin..

Plus, once again, hes 22. I mean, I have yet to hear, what player set the precedent that your "maxed out" at 22?

Parker has increased his skill set every year.

How come it can't happen for Tiago?

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Gasol was a little younger, but 22 is old?

That's the age players get out of college.

well he's not comming over until he's at least 23, and he has been playing professionally since the age of 15 (so i assume he has a lot of mileage on those legs)

Yes, it's in Las Vegas now instead of Hawaii, but it' still happens every August.

Splitter is going to be a stud ONLY because of POP

Man, if Splitter can be as ridiculously good as MVPau Duncan could've rode his coattails the last couple of years and won 3 or 4 more titles, all the while avoiding 6.

Alas, an MVPau type of talent only comes by once a decade or so.

Saying Gasol is better than Splitter isn't really a compliment, more of an understatement.
