Splitter is really good at finding slashers but Duncan's years of being double and triple teamed have made him amazing at being able to find the open man. May not be as flashy, but I'd definitely put him ahead of Splitter as a big man passer.
Was making a list of the best passing bigs in the league, and I was wondering who you guys consider the better passer out of these two (Diaw is already on the list)

TD, has always been one of the best passing bigs in the league tbh and it doesn't change with age.
Overall it's Tim. Tiago makes a great bounce pass in the paint, but Tim makes all the passes pretty good, especially that two handed touchdown pass.
Tiago is one of the best me thinks.
I think Tiago is better in a point-center setting, but Tim is extremely good at anticipating holes in the defense. So he's a better traditional passing big.
Splitter, but not by much. That is what makes this team so damn good. Everyone on this team, not name Aryes can pass at a pretty high level.
Ayres is a great passer for a big. Much better than Baynes. That's pretty much the only thing Jeff does at a high level.
Thanks for the opinions so far, It was hard for me to decide as well, which is why I came to you guys
Tiago is exceptional at passing out of the pick and roll. You can often see him catching the ball and then immediately whipping it to the weakside shooter with no delay.
TD has the best outlet passing skills since Wes Unseld.....unparalleled
They are both exceptional, but, TD is the bomb
Tim.
Tiago overpasses under the rim. Mainly because of finishing problems.
I honestly don't care who's the better passer between the two, I'm just happy both are good passers.
So what is your list so far ? (if you don't mind sharing)

Both are great. But their are few true centers in the league that can pass like Tiago. Maybe Noah and that is about it.
Both fantastic. I'd give the nod to Duncan because of the first half of his career, when the offense ran through him.
I think Splitter makes more high risk 'highlight' passes to cutters. Duncan's quarterback style outlet passes are pretty incredible though.
Duncan, but Splitter was better last year imo
They both pass well in traffic. They are both extremely sharp eyed and both make good passes of all sorts, overheads, bounce passes. I give the nod to Tim for his unrivaled ability for the cross court outlet. He's always looking for that pass. No one in the league is close.
Kevin Love tbh
It's tough to say. My first thoughts are Splitter, but Duncan's so efficient and might have a better for knowing when to pass and when to put the ball on the floor when he's in the paint.
Duncan. Before his knees were in the state they're in now, he could make passes off the dribble I've never seen a player his size make. Passes like: Leading a break and throwing an on time, on target bounce pass through traffic or driving, drawing the defender at the rim and throwing a wrap around to the other big. Plus, he's good at all the stationary stuff too and despite the hype Love receives, he throws the best outlets in the game.
