Why the is Splitter a bust? That is just a ridiculous statement to make this early on.
Ummmm........so we going to find David Robinsons clone drafting #29...Yeah.......

No more euro/foreign bigs. We already got Splitter, we need someone who can help right away.
Like Michael Beasley?
Maybe period for you, as if you have all the answers that the rest of the world doesn't. Calling Splitter a bust at this point is an easy identifier that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah Beasley over Jefferson? DumpChump
Maybe you should compare players that play the same position.
Did you know there are different positions in basketball?
Yeah Beasley is a small forward, Jefferson 2.
Splitter is a center-forward so is this kid.
Did you know that?
So he could play center or forward?
Sign him up.
Kahn is using him as a small forward?
No wonder they lose so much.
I would like to get Tolliver back though tbh.
Yeah he scored 19ppg at his natural position, their PGs sucked as well as their coach.
lol Tolliver?
Remember Tony Campbell?
He did the same thing on a ty Wolves team.
I wouldn't trade Parker for him either.
Yes. Tolliver.lol Tolliver?
Beasley has a lot more potential then him, come on.
Like I said tho we probably wouldn't need to trade parker any more for him, David Kahn isn't smart the guy believes in Darko, maybe Hill & bonner?
Tolliver as back up small forward don't sound too bad, I guess.
Why did Pop cut him anyways???
People forget that Tolliver was doing really good in camp until either his Mother or Grandmother passed away. After that he just wasn't the same player which I can fully understand.......
Gustavo Ayon set to interview with Spurs
http://www.projectspurs.com/2011-art...ith-spurs.html
The San Antonio Spurs will be interviewing Mexican big man Gustavo Ayon aka "The an" out of the ACB League playing with Baloncesto Fuenlabrada, according to his former coach Javier Ceniceros:
"I spoke with Gustavo and told me that this week will be interviews with Denver and San Antonio, hopefully I can close a bit early," said Ceniceros, UPAEP coach and who is considered the mentor of Ayon.
“Hablé con Gustavo y me dijo que esta semana estará en entrevistas con Denver y San Antonio, ojalá pueda cerrar algo pronto”, declaró Ceniceros, coach de la UPAEP y quien es considerado el mentor de Ayón.
Ayon spent time playing in Spain as was given the 2011 "Rising Star Award" by fellow players, ACB coaches and fans.
The 6'10", 26 year-old center/forward averaged 10.8 points, shot 66% from the field, 60% from the free throw line, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 22.1 minutes for Fuenlabrada last season. He has a three-year contract with his current team with an option for a fourth year but should the NBA come calling he will speak with his team.
Furthermore, the Spurs have expressed interest in Ayon in the past.
Well Spurs fans, he is a big man, something the Spurs desperately need, but do you feel Ayon could fill the Spurs' need?
Pull out the YouTube vids please someone. The ones of him blocking shots an gettin easy bucket from different angles that keep repeating. Yea, that will sell him to Spurs fans (see Marcus Haslip)
THE EFF?
Center Height 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m)
Revelation of the year award![]()
Can we award that to Splitter next year?
Ayon is at Denver's free agent camp.

Please get someone with height and size so I don't have to watch Randolph/Gasol abuse Bonner/Blair again next year.
Bump.
How did the Spurs miss on this guy? I mean, just the fact that he's from Mexico should have made the Spurs err on the side of throwing too much money at him.
And, according to ShamSports, it looked like he signed for a grand total of $1.5 million in guaranteed money.
I've watched him play a few times and I'm pretty impressed. He's 6-foot-10, long arms, high motor, rebounds well, blocks shots, strong defending the post and knows how to play on offense. He's not a star in the making but could turn out to be a Jeff Foster type player. As it is, his per 40 minutes averages are pretty impressive: 12 points, ten boards, 2.5 blocks. Shooting 56.2% from the field with an 18.5 PER.
If the Spurs would have spent a couple million bucks on him in the summer, they probably wouldn't have to be in the market for another big.
P.S.
Gotta think Dell Demps first heard of him while with the Spurs. Wonder if he just outbid the Spurs or if S.A. dropped out of the running.
Apparently, there's no minutes for another big
Not a starting job for sure.
I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the Spurs didn't bring Ayon in. He was better than any of the scrubs they had a realistic shot at getting, without a doubt. And, yes, SA is a natural for a Mexican center. He would have sold tickets, just sitting on the bench.
That post reminded me - How is Sean Williams doing in the D-League this year? If he has his mental together, he's big and very athletic.
Williams is actually under contract with the Mavs.
