    , we got by with Nazr "hands of stone" Mohammed in the lineup. Tiago is definitely a good upgrade from that.

    A Tiago/Timmy combo along with Fabby and Kurt on the bench would give us a good big man rotation.

    I think Ian could use another year of D-League development before he comes over to the bigs again. His fundamentals need some ironing out and he needs those coming into an intricate system like ours.

    I thought Tiago started at C and Scola at PF?

    as Tiago was Scola backup in TAU, Scola was Oberto's backup in TAU for years. Scola was started when Oberto left Tau.

    What's the problem with Ian or Tiago? We need both.

    He's not Argentinian, so he sucks.

    I think both won't play.

    It's almost sure for Splitter who will have a qualifying Olympic tournament with Brazil.
    I don't think Mahinmi will play in SL. He should play with French NT this summer. Given that French NT will start to practice soon this year and that SL starts one week later this year, I don't think Mahinmi will be able to do both.

    do you think he will be invited at all to be part of the French NT?

    Some French players won't play this summer and NT will start practices with 24 players. I think Mahinmi will be in these 24 without a doubt. Mahinmi has also a good relationship with French NT new coach.
    French NT coach will be in Austin in one week to talk with Mahinmi about French NT.

    Actually, I would think that Tiago is considered more talented basketball-wise while Ian is more athletic.
    And I'm sure Tiago being more talented has nothing to do with the fact he's white, does it ploto?

    That's true Bruno

    Tiago will play for Brazil NT so he won't play in Summer League

He also said Zabian Dowdell or whatever his name was would be picked in the first round.

    Uhm...Noah just turned 23 and appears to be a future all-star, so I wouldn't discount him as being a very good player just yet.

    Ian blocking shots, grabbing boards, running the floor, and sending the rock home.

    Noah has room to improve but I've seen nothing from him to suggest he will even sniff an All Star Game.
