You're way off man, take it from me, I've been to Vegas many times, although not this year, and Gary Neal is exactly = Mario Elie 2.0! (except for the toughness and defense of course)

It was in blue. =(

[Amarelooms]

Tiago Splitter is that white dude right??? I wouldn't expect that much from him Spurs fans....at least not the 1st year

I really done see the Robin Lopez similarities. Maybe defensively they are similar (although i think Robin is the better defender).. but Splitter is the more polished offensive player and has more weapons in his arsenal. The key difference is Splitter should be able to create his own from time to time by operating on the block, where as Lopez hasnt got the offensive game to do that.

In terms of game style, i think Brooke Lopez is the better comparison, although this doesnt mean Splitter will be as good, i just see similarities in their game, albeit slightly watered down similarities.

Brook Lopez is a bit bigger, he's an inch taller and is much longer.

Lopez's Wingspan-7'5.5

Splitter's Wingspan-7'2


Standing Reach

Lopez-9'5

Splitter-9'1.5


Splitter weighed in at 233lbs while Brook is at 260.



Splitter seems to be quicker though

Lane Agility Lopez-12.77 secs 3/4 court sprint 3.57

Lane Agility Splitter-11.65 (that's a huge difference) 3/4-3.38

Keep in mind these stats were taken 3 years ago for Splitter.

Right now Splitter is around 250lbs. I think Splitter will be a better defender than Lopez but I don't think he'll be able to match Lopez's offensive production.

I hope to god that Lopez isn't too soft because Europeans can be too soft.

The style of play over there is much more physical than the NBA, Splitter's also a pretty physical player as well, he's not soft at all.

I lived in el paso and tony parker is as fast a............

[spursbird]

Lopez can shoot from mid-range. But according to timvp, Splitter hardly shoot.
p.s. I live in China and Yi Jianlian is like Duncan or Garnett in their prime years here.

Nba Playoffs are not physical?

I thought mine was so obvious, didn't need to be blue!

[AVman]

i live in bmore & gary neal= d.wade

[Bito Corleone]

Ohh I want to play. I used to live in Baltimore and Italy and Gary Neal = Kobe Bryant

On or off the court?

You guys are really funny. But at the end of the day, I am just happy that the Spurs' FO gave us something to look forward to year after year. Whether it is Tiago Lopez, Gary Bryant, or James Anderson Roy.

I know you guys probably think I am crazy, but I am really grateful that we have R.C. & Pop. We lost so many talented managers to other NBA teams, but somehow we are able to keep R.C. and Pop.

On or off the court?

I see what you did there.

[Thompson]

I'm looking forward to seeing if he can guard Dirk. If he can't, we still have McDyess, of course.

[Michael Jordan.]

lol

[BatManu20]

Solid bump tbh.

[testies]

defending pick n rolls >>>> fancy post moves that just distort the offense

and you already bumped like 4 Splitter threads, Bulls .. enjoy you irrelevance
