No contest it's Splitter. Hard to deny the fact that there was a gaping whole at center which made scoring in the paint really easy for other teams. Now they have another 7 footer to worry about in there.

I do think Andersons performance this next season will be a good one. It is hard to teach size though.

Since half of the voters in the other thread seem to think that Splitter > Griffin, I guess this thread is redundant.

Actually, it is quite interesting to me if only to show how high the expectation of Splitter are as compared to Anderson. Splitters might be slightly over-blown after 3 years of builiding expectations, while Anderson could be undervalued as I think he was a steal. Anderson, seems almost forgotten.

Anyway, while Splitter will very likely have more impact, this does give us a snapshot of their perceived worth by members of this board.

I think Tiago will be a key part of our roster. He will defend the paint and help up us with those quick mobile 4's and 5's.

I'm pretty sure Splitter is coming in with a guaranteed spot in the rotation. At least, it's his to lose. The same can't be said for James Anderson.

That alone gives Splitter the edge at this point in time.

Good point. I'm actually surprised there's not more excitement about Anderson, as he may really fit in perfectly to the Spurs' system, and could flourish in a starting role. Perhaps it's the likelihood that he won't get any minutes no matter how good he is.

Really, we don't know until we see them actually play.

Unless they're named Hairston or Mahinmi, in which case we know they suck just because...well...just because.
