Did you even watch the game? It was pretty obvious that Splitter was better than blair tonight, especially defencivelly. Seems like you're the one hating, when people point out the truth that blair sucks against quality frontcourts, get over it already, no need to get so butthurt.
Obviously :lol
I have not been clear enough, sorry.
I am not implying he is nearly as talented as a young Amare just that somehow the same ingredient are there (athletism, some talent, average at best IQ, fouling machine...).
With this profile, where and who you play for can make a huge difference for your early career.
Pop would have been mad at Stoudemire for his defense (or lack of) and I am not sure how much he would have played. On the other hand, give Ian some "Brook Lopez" minutes for a lottery team and IMO he is at least a 15 pts/8 rbds player.
Yes this was what i meant. Ian is beasting right now. Once again this proves that you have to actually watch games to assess a player. Referring to season's stats is not enough. Pop made a big mistake last season preferring to play small ball with scrubs like Bogans and RMJ rather than play Ian. I'm not saying Pop is a bad coach but I am saying he made a mistake.
Splitter is so bad that I'm starting to feel bad about making fun of how lousy he is... I kinda just wish he'd stop sucking already. I feel like I'm kicking him while he's down when I point out how obviously shitty he is..
So I asked again...
From the start of the season until around mid-December, Splitter played something that sorta resembled consistent minutes. I guess that was enough of a development phase for Pop to throw in the towel for the season...
Can you imagine if Mahinmi AND Splitter were both in the lineup getting regular minutes?!?
The Spurs would be undefeated!!
Well he (Splitter) leds all spurs rookies in PER and is 5th overall (among all NBA rookies).
Not bad, considering PER is a stat quite respected in our world.
