Draft Prospect: Tiago Splitter

[AFBlue]

Do you think Splitter is a solid NBA prospect who is currently on the level of Francisco Elson? And do you think that picking Splitter will one day be viewed as a good pick?

Again...this is from what I read, so I'll state that up front....

But, apparently Splitter is a very cerebral player, and has an understanding of where to be on the court. This would make him an upgrade, in that respect, over Elson...who often misses rotations, etc.

smh, i guess another year without repeating, i hate the logic the spurs front office use, it's ing re ed to keep the roster the same, especially when it's the oldest in the nba........... we won't make it out of the second round cause most are players are ing useless....... i hate pop and rc, they can't draft for , they hit gold with parker and manu, but other then that they are pretty overrated when it comes to getting actual talent......... i guess we'll have to wait till 09 to get another shot at a le

Yea, fvk the Spurs...Pop has no idea what he is doing, players are overrated, blah blah blah. Are you drunk, stupid, or both?

TPark -- I heard they just traded Splitter too. Now back away from the monitor dude.

We need a shotblocker. There weren't many outside the lottery this year.

Some of us saw a good shotblocking prospect in the NBA earlier this season...some of us begged the Spurs to sign him and put him in the D-League....

[T Park]

Yeah, if he DEFINATELY comes over next year? Eh, its all good.

I just don't see how a guy that sounds like Rasho's latin brother, makes sense.

Agreed. There were two actually.

[whottt]

TPark.. the haters...first time there's a Brazil GTG...we're there man

[Kori Ellis]

They can sign Noel and he can just come in to block shots and defend 3/4's.

[ChumpDumper]

I wouldn't complain. They just need to get one of those types. Avis Wyatt had a crappy camp, but he still has potential too.

I'll split the airfare with ya and Im there

Tell him to make his name seem more european and hes IN!!!

We won a championship with Rasho pendejo.

[Kori Ellis]

He's Belizean - isn't that close enough?

[T Park]

We won a championship with Rasho pendejo

sigh... You kids can't resist can you.

Rasho sitting on the bench as a 12th man, yes that spurs team did win.

[koopa]

how can this dude be compared to rasho when most scouting reports say he moves well for a big man??? and comparing anyone to rasho is just plain mean

Low rebounding, supposedly doesn't like contact.

Who does that sound like?

[T Park]

He needs a more belizean name

[ChumpDumper]

I've seen him play several games. He never distiguished himself, but he never made me think of Rasho. Kornel David did though.

[T Park]

The thing I look at is hes 22.

If hes brought over next year, hes 23 24.

At the very least the coaching staff and England can work with the guy and practicing against Duncan doesn't hurt.

but damn some of these prospects need to be brought over and either need to show that they can produce or cut bait with em.

The team needs an infusion of youth. Winning a ring doesn't make it any less true.

[Mr. Body]

What an underwhelming pick. I suppose he plays good position defense, since he has the reputation and can't block shots. Another ing foreign player and another guy to somehow wrestle away from the Tau stranglehold.

I'm not sure who would have been better. This guy was considered a steal.

I guess you think you're funny?

[T Park]

Will this guy play for the Brazilian national team in Vegas?

[Mr. Body]

I'm not sure who would have been better. This guy was considered a steal.

By who? Do you realize who was still on the board at that pick?

[whottt]

Rasho was pretty damn talented, on both sides of the ball. There's really wasn't much Rasho couldn't do if he wanted to do it. He just didn't give a damn about doing it.

IMO our Slovenians like to hit the bars...a lot, and aren't really worried about bringing their A game because they are happy just to be getting paid a lot of money and be in the NBA. And they are more worried about the nightlife than they are justifying their guranteed pay. It's not about talent with either of them.
