We'll see, but I doubt Tiago will be the defensive anchor Timmy is even in his declining state, nor do I think he can score like Timmy less frequently but still effectively does.
I wish, but, no.
3 time final MVPs and 2 time NBA MVPs Tim Duncan will be instead of by 7 foot Tiago Splitter as the main scorer of the San Antonio Spurs, this situation seems to be very familiar when you look back in 1997,as a died-heart fan of Duncan, i certainly wish that he could play for the spurs unitl 2030 but along with his age and unstable phyiscal condition, Tim is not the core of the spurs anymore (of course mentally he is) , please pay attention, im not saying the spurs do not need Timmy, he is still very important to the spurs and what im saying is that the spurs need to find a guy who is able to replace Duncan or at least can help Duncan, according to many news in the summer, the spurs seem to make it, signing with the Brazil forward Tigao Splitter who has won the MVP of the Spain league last season, much expectation on him.

You can't replace a best ever to play at his position OP. But you can help him lengthen his career by playing punishing physical ball on both sides of the court. If Tiago does that, then Tim is helped out immensely.
One word - NO. Timmy is a once-in-a-generation player. With all respect to Splitter, he's not going to replace Duncan. He may stand in the same spot on the court in a season or two, but he's not going to replace him.
If the question is can he at least help Tim? Oh, yeah. I wish we had gotten him a couple of seasons ago.
Splitter is quickly becoming one of the most overrated players on spurstalk.
Not even close, highest ceiling for him is a solid starter I think.
stick got it right - can you spell overrated?
Realistically, the guy will be an upgrade from Oberto... thats about it.
I hope he proves me wrong though...
I didnt think much of Manu when we drafted him either... Of course, my knowledge of international players was nothing at that point.
LMAO Tigao.
I recall that the OP's first language is Chinese. So, I wasn't averse to helping the guy out. He's a Spurs fan, so...I fixed the English. Just think if we had to learn how to read Chinese?Crazy!!!!
There isn't a big man in the league currently that could replace Tim Duncan and what he's done on the court for the Spurs.
So of course Tiago can replace him (and that would be me throwing facetieces).
Who the flying fukk is Tigao??????
Anyway i stll root for timmy~
Just call him James
For me, it's just a relief to finally see Splitter as a Spur - anything so that I don't see Bonner next to TD.
Tiago will be (if we are lucky) a 10-10 guy for us every night. I see Blair, whenever pop decides to turn him lose, as our next big thing. That being said, I hope we have some killer drafts the next couple of years....
what about no ?
There is no such thing as replacing Timmy.
he can only succeed him.
Lots a luck!
I see him being a 12-14 ppg & 8-9 rpg player
no way he'll ever replace TD's numbers.
Omg.. Splitter is Travis Knight 2.0
Tim is once in a decade, maybe once in 2 decades player.
no chance in tiago might be overrated but ill wait to see him in action but hes not replacing a hall of fame best pf ever not even close
