Splitter will be a comlementery player not a Melo. He will contribute at what he does best. It is still a grand delusion that having 5 of the best players makes the best team.

here is where we can keep track of our draft picks stats'.
Brazil plays the US on August 26, 2007, so we can see how does against NBA talent.

Brazil is about to start their game on NBATV.
I'm currently watching the Texas Rangers blast the Orioles 30 - 3 but will start watching as soon as this slaughter ends.
for those without NBA-TV like me, there's also an online simulcast at NBA.com of the NBA-TV feed that should also have the game.
Today is a happy day to be a Rangers fan.
Splitter already has 2 fouls halfway through the first
other than a couple of decent rebounds, the only other thing he did of note was carry on the proud Spurs bigman tradition of pumpfaking one's way into getting a shot blocked.
EDIT - might only have one foul. Going into commercial the announcers talked of him getting another foul, but he was still in after the break.
Splitter just had a nice tip in.
Splitter with a nice fast break flourish for 2. He can definitely get up and down the court.
First half is over.
Splitter has had a hard time so far. He seems to be bobbling a lot of passes and there seems to be an overall confusion on the court between some of the Brazilian players. Many of the bobbled passes can be blamed on Leandro Barbosa's non-existant passing skills (he might play with Steve Nash, but he obviously can't play like him).
Splitter does have a lot of rebounds tonight though. He has been grabbing a fair amount of boards as well as showing some good defensive effort. But the entire Brazilian team seems out of sync anyways, so his individual efforts have been overshadowed by team-wide lapses.
Splitter has 6-8 points right now (Brazil has 36 total team points) which have mostly come off of others creating the opportunities for him. He has not been very succesful in the endeavor of creating his own offense and fell apart the one time I saw him put the ball on the floor.
All and all, a forgettable half.

I think Tiago played a good D but had a very tough time on offense
As I expected Brazil team is terrible coached. You can see that it's a mess there. Nobony know what to do.
I have been impressed with Splitter's passing ability. Runs the floor well, good rebounder, and above average passer. Defense is good (not a shot blocker) and seems to be in good position most of time. At 22 has plenty of time to work on scoring.
commentators saying that Tiago might have added on some pounds and muscle over the offseason
It will be replayed on Fox Sports Southwest at 11:00 p.m. SA time.
As long as Splitter get's rebounds, plays D, and is capable of cleaning the O glass to get points he'll be just what the doctor ordered for the Spurs. A bigger Oberto but probably not as good of a passer
He runs the floor almost as well as elson and passes like oberto. A very good mix and as stated can rebound very well.
man I wish we still had Alex Garcia, he just made a nice simple pass on the fast break for a layup
Good to see Alex playing well
Alex does look good.
what team does Alex play for right now in overseas
He played here in Brazil last season. I don't know where he'll play next year
Nice play now for Tiago
Game on the line -- Splitter taking over.
splitter with a tony parker tear drop
Tiago Splitter!
Splitter keeping both teams in the game.
