Pretty promising sign that Splitter is a definite.

Best part about the videos is they seem to indicate he has good hands. That's a big key for a successful big man. Combined with a willingness to get better and a rather surprising instinct for scoring, he's more intriguing than Daniel Orton imo.
Looks like he has some decent range on his shot, can't wait to see more.
Looks like this kid has a good long range jumper too. Pop might groom him for the stretch 4 position if his touch continues to improve. I don't see him pulling any major minutes at C though.
Yeah, he's definitely a 4. Maybe he could play the 5 against small running teams once he gains a little muscle.
San Antonio finally got their balla!
He looks like Drake.
Why not, Spurs already had one young French big man that they refused to give a chance to, now they have a British one to bench and ruin too. Pop must be a German soccer fan.
That zipping sound you just heard was Ian Mahinmi packing his bags.
he looks like he has some handles i wonder if he can knock down the 3 or gain 3 point range
Why do people think he'd be replacing Mahinmi? They're 2 completely different kinds of players. If anything he'd be the "spread the floor 4" that Horry and Bonner have been.
The only clear thing from that video is that the level of compe ion looks like high school players. His ball handling needs improvement. I thought he would be a better athlete. On the good side he showed some fire and emotion, and he looked like he had really good balance and coordination. He didn't look like a giraffe running around like some big men. It looks like he has tools to work on his skills.
Looks like a low risk high reward draft pick. Nothing wrong with that.
Interesting point. I also figured that Mahinmi would be gone with this pick, but now that I think about it, maybe not so much. He (Richards) plays the PF position, even though he's like 6'11 3/4" with shoes on, and could wind up playing right beside Splitter. One of them would have to take on the mantle of Center, with Mahinmi backing that guy up.
To be quite honest, I've lost all faith in Mahinmi and just from those small samples of youtube vids I think Richards has a whole lot more potential than him. Ian has him beat on the athleticism, but Timmy is not an amazing athlete either. You don't necessarily need a jumping jack more than just a guy who understands and plays the game well.
That what I am talking about some teams try to beat up Manu and it would be nice to have a player come in and say "You hard foul our star I will then clock your star" that will stop that real quick.good

I really like the kid he has good touch, nice moves, decent outside shoot, and seems like a player. The only thing I think I haven't seen him do is set picks which offcourse is our bread and butter. No better place to learn that then in Austin D League.
Yea, I'm crossing my fingers that we'll be moving to Austin soon (Right now I'm in Iraq, redeploying to Tacoma, WA, then moving to West Virginia, THEN hopefully Austin!) and I'll buy some cheap ass Toros season tickets and watch homeboy was he begins his education in the way of the Spurs.
San Antonio finally got their balla!
for an international player his English is great, weird accent though
You're kidding, right?
ing magnets!
To me he looks like a almost a carbon copy of Chris Bosh...........lefty, athletic, can shoot near the perimeter, some handles etc..
A seven-footer with a post moves and a fallaway J. Also loved the lil' wicked, crossover and a behind-the-back dribble. Good value pick for draft-n-stash.
http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/sie...hink-im-ready/Which teams have you worked out for so far?
RR: I’ve worked out in Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Memphis, Golden State, Sacramento, Utah, San Antonio twice and I have another workout coming up this week.
Which workout has been the best so far?
RR: I would say San Antonio. I got great feedback from everywhere I’ve worked out, but my two workouts with San Antonio were the best. Also a good workout in Utah.
That would have been a nice find prior to the draft . . .
