I like him. He could have went as high as 15 last year. This is a pick I would love to see. At least one that might not play right away.
5. The San Antonio Spurs select Tiago Splitter and wait him out.
The Spurs have become the United Nations of the NBA, with five foreign players earning championship rings this season. And thanks to the international scouting a en of GM R.C. Buford, they are also a team with a waiting list. Luis Scola, a 2002 second-round pick and one of the top players in Europe, is champing at the bit to join fellow Argentines Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto in San Antonio. Ian Mahinmi, a 2005 first-round pick who recently tore a muscle in his chest, has been developing nicely in France and could jump to the NBA next season. Splitter, a 6-11 power forward from Brazil who can run the floor and finish around the basket, may not be able to play in the NBA next season because of an expensive buyout with Spanish club Tau Ceramica. With teams not eager to waste a first-round pick on a potential Fran Vazquez, Splitter could fall to the Spurs at No. 28. And San Antonio has shown no reluctance to draft players it has to wait for.
