What is everyone's opinion on Oberto? I keep hearing that he's the best big man defender the spurs have, but I feel he's too undersized to effect enough shots at the rim, which is what the old fashion Spurs defense was about.

The Spurs always go small now-a-days anyway. So it doesn't matter if he's good or not
Or maybe because he's not that good is why they go small.
Who knows.

That screams to be photoshopped!
lots of heart, great b-ball iq...a little to short for our defensive scheme. but hey, it is what it is. i can't wait for frankie to get back and see what he can offer.
Amen... Frankie Elson would seem like a God-send at this point.
I'm not sure if Elson would help other than being tall. But hey, he's another body to try.
Elson at least has the length, not much on the basketball IQ, but if he can get some what accustomed to the Spurs D philosophy, he could make the Defense look alot better
Well that hadn't happened before he got hurt. He was getting yelled at by teammates and coaches constantly.
So hopefully he learned something by watching.
I like the first result for "garden gnome" on Google.

He has a habit of blowing wide open layups.
Oberto for Mohammad.
You're right, he is the best.
this is my prayer to the Spurs god
i just wish he was a wee bit quicker.
At this point, no one on this team has a right to yell at anyone. Everybody's ing up - even Duncan.
As for Oberto, I thought he was too undersized last year to play the 5. Unfortunately for him, he hasn't grown any over the offseason. Good hustle player with smarts.
his a scrub
Oberto is exactly what he was last year. At best a second or third string center. The problem is he gets too many minutes now. Horry too.
The Spurs' best bigman defender at the moment is Robert Horry by far. It's not even close.
The sad part is that's counting Tim Duncan.
Should have never been more then an off bench role player who looks like he is really 6'8" and can barely jump over a piece of paper.
Pop-An-Adjustment has him at starting center.
What impresses me is his mentality. Pass first, shoot second always. Consequently, his FG% is very impressive because he takes good shots
This is an good point. I didn't see Elson anywhere on the court during the Brian Cook Open Dunk.
Pop needs to quit walking on egg-s s around some of these "veteran players" and quit worrying about hurting feelings and start punishing players for their crappy and un-inspiring play
If a player is guarding Oberto, he gets blocked about 70% of the time.
