Official Tiago Splitter Thread

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Not about Splitter, but regarding next season, how do you guys feel about drafting Lester Hudson with the first pick?

[whottt]

I'd rather see the Spurs tank as much as possibe to still make the playoffs and somehow trade up to get Kevin Love...


You want a rebounding 3 shooting compliment to Duncan at the PF slot? There he is. Plus he can pass...and he can play around the basket almost as good as Duncan.


I know it seems kind of ridiculous to bring up drafting him...but some mocks have had him going as low as the 19th pick...right now the Spurs would have the 20th.




He's your 3 shooting big to replace Horry...and he can do a lot more than that.

[ChumpDumper]

There's this team called the Austin Toros. One of those six you are counting plays with that team. You should check them out.

Ian is on the Spurs roster now and will be next season. His playing on the Toros doesn't change that one iota.

And they rotate which games they play in. Add another one or two to the mix and then come up with a rotation. Or nominate one to play in that Toros team I told you about above.

Not everyone will play. That's how NBA teams work.

Six bigs on a 15-man roster is fine.

Love will go in the top 10 after he goes off in the tourney...I think a player like anthony randolph (lsu sf) would fit in nicely with the spurs..

I'm not so sure...teams are worried about his NBA viability...if he has some bad defensive matchups he could actually come out of it worse than he went into it.


But FWIW, yeah I looked and his draft stock has improved considerably in recent weeks...I wonder why it was so low to begin with...

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Well there you go...a little drop but not much. The little drop could just as easily be explained by Splitter not being backed up by Splitter like Scola was...as it is by Scola leaving.






Interesting...as the level of compe ion goes up, Scola's absence makes less and less of a difference. In fact, they notice him being gone at the highest level, not at all?

Why am I not surprised by that?



And since all Scola did beyond that level was choke....it's hard for me to see Tau being worse off.

5 place team of Spanish league big difference from 1 place team. You must understand if finish 5 place in Spanish league you get relegate to ULEB Cup from Euroleague. So TAU be in 4 place right now not exact small drop as you think.

This year: 18-7

Last year at this same time: 19-6


It's not hard to assume that a good team is going to go on a 3-4 game winning streak to finish the season.

Kevin Love is NOT a 3. He will never, and never has, played the 3. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Kevin-Love-1062/

If you want a Horry type, the closest I think you might come in this draft is Gallinari.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...Gallinari-535/

However, we are not moving up enough to get him, unless he has a motorcycle accident between now and the draft...

There are a few players who will show up in the 2nd round if they show at all, who might develop into a Horry type.

Splitter scored today 21 points and grab 7 boards in 31 minutes. it was a meaningless game for his team because Tau was still qualified for the quarter finals.
Tau will now play a best of 3 serie against Partizan (a Serbian team). Splitter will have an interesting matchup against Pekovic.

Panathinaikos lost against Partizan today and is eliminated.

So Billy couldn't save them

[T Park]

Is Partizan not a good squad?

I wish there was a way to watch more euroleague games over here, its so hard to know whos good and who isn't.

[whottt]

Kevin Love is NOT a 3. He will never, and never has, played the 3. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Kevin-Love-1062/

Hmmm...I think you misread what I wrote. At no point did I say Kevin Love was a 3.

If you want a Horry type, the closest I think you might come in this draft is Gallinari.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...Gallinari-535/

Since this is about the 3...Horry hasn't played the 3 since about 1997.

I appreciate the links...but I'd still take Love and he is more of an Horry type than any college 3 you want to bring up.

[Bruno]

Is Partizan not a good squad?

Partizan is a quite good team especially at home. they have a lot of good young players. The only player you should know is Milt Palacio who scored 24 points today against Panathinaikos.
Tau has the HCA and should beat them.

I wish there was a way to watch more euroleague games over here, its so hard to know whos good and who isn't.

Euroleague has launched this year a webcast similar to nba league pass broadband.

[T Park]

Milt Palacio

Yeah I think i remember him...

Point guard?

Im struggling to remember...

[whottt]

Yeah I think i remember him...

Point guard?

Im struggling to remember...

Yeap PG(who can't pass) who last played in the NBA for the Jazz....

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Partizan is good they have Peckovic. He is probably much better player than Splitter.

As many PAO fan expect team lose because Saras have ruin team. Most my friend I know want get rid of him. Now we know why he hate so much by coaches of NBA. He very selfish player.

Sorry for the loss. Green fans are great and don't deserve that.

Is it true that Spanoulis and Jasikevicius have some relationsip troubles ?

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Yes same thing that happen with Lakovic before. Coach Obradovic though have to get rid of Lakovic for similar problem. We not think Saras like this but it seem he also same way.

Coach want spanoulis to play as point guard but Saras have issue with this just like Lakovic. They insist they must play point guard. Team have to many guard good guard to have to deal with this same thing again. Also just like Jaka Saras refuse play defense


But we have been talk with Peckovic and Koufos about sign them.

[Hemotivo]

too many stars

[T Park]

Bruno,

In your opinion you know euro players fantasticly, how good is this spanoulis? Is he worth bringing back over if hes willing?

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

too many stars

Yes but also we have starting power forward and center injure most of season and team not able deal with such thing. Olympiacos probable beat Real Madrid in game tomorrow.

This mean they top 8 team of Euroleague. PAO still expect win Greek Cup and Greek Championship over them so we know what good team we have still better than top 8 team. It just main problem the injury to PF and C for most of year and also Saras have so much effort try be star of team

He not able understand PAO team not play like this. Obradovic want team play more as Rockets team have learn play with Adelman. But Saras still try play like superstar offense with him control everything. Maybe we can sell him to Spanish team.

Peckovic player of Partizan is great player. Spurs have interest in drafts him?

[Bruno]

Bruno,

In your opinion you know euro players fantasticly, how good is this spanoulis? Is he worth bringing back over if hes willing?

I like Spanoulis and I think that he could become a good NBA player.
Saying that there is now some red flags: he has failed a first time in NBA with Houston and he hasn't be very good this season in Euroleague.

I would sign him only on the cheap and without guaranteeing him playing time.
If he doesn't agree with that, Spurs could try another young PG via draft or FA.

And you're right to mention Spanoulis willingness to come back in NBA. KBP said that he will be back only if Pana won the Euroleague, Greek cup and Greek championship. It won't be the case since they are out of the Euroleague. I also doubt NBA teams will offer him a big contract after his so-so season. Spanoulis will likely have to take a pay cut to come back in NBA.
