It was more of a joke.
Whats that got to do with Tiago Splitter?No tpark is a pretty fat guy
Look, the spurs have passed on monta ellis, carlos boozer, josh howard, paul millsap, just to name a few, in the last 4 years
And i like the way josh mcroberts plays, he can take it strong to the hole, he has a consistant jumper, he is a pretty good shot blocker, and he is an excellent passer for a big man.
so yeah i would rather have mcroberts than splitter, but im not a gm, so who gives a , i guess we'll see in a few years

Just because he does it in college, doesn't mean he can do it in the NBA.
So thats a yes on the Spurs management sucks?Look, the spurs have passed on monta ellis, carlos boozer, josh howard, paul millsap, just to name a few, in the last 4 years
well at least he does it in college, splitter doesnt do any of those things
No, but it's a yes that spurs management can be wrong on draft day once in a while... you see, you're ing doing it again.
point to a place where i said that
I think he could be a bigger contributor than you think he will be.
You keep impying that he is not very good.....I see more potential in him than you do. You post this:
I think he will develop into more than "just a bench player". 10-15 minutes is not too bad.....I just see being more than a few hustle points, a few boards, etc. I think he will be more than that. I actually think he has the potential to make the All-rookie 2nd team.I think Tiago projects as a bench player that plays 10 to 15 minutes per night, and gets you a few hustle points now and then and maybe he grabs a few boards once in a while too.
I'm doing what again? Repeating what your saying?No, but it's a yes that spurs management can be wrong on draft day once in a while... you see, you're ing doing it again.

You said Sixers management sucks
I said spurs passed over him, so does the Spurs management suck?
You answer with "Well theyve passed over so and so and so and so"
So I assumed that meant a yes.
Take a pill dude.
And on the other end of the spectrum....look at the teams that passed on Fabs, Manu, And Tony Parker.Look, the spurs have passed on monta ellis, carlos boozer, josh howard, paul millsap, just to name a few, in the last 4 years
Every team's FO makes mistakes...it is how they deal with them that makes them stand apart from everyone else....the Spurs have shown a near mastery of dealing with "mistakes" like this.
Tiago's compe ion is alot tougher than Cherokee McRobert's comp.well at least he does it in college, splitter doesnt do any of those things
the sixers suck because they need a pf and they passed on mcroberts twice.
i was merely stating that the spurs can miss a player once in a while
I'd take the winner of the ACC against the top euro team any day
Just because a player does something in college doesn't mean it will translate to the NBA well.
How many "great" college player that bust in the NBA? There are quite few.
It is also vice-versa.....some poor college players sometimes turn out to be solid stars.
OOOOkkaaay
american college players have a much higher success rate than european players at transitioning to the nba.
OOOOK chief.
You take the Florida Gators, I'll take Tau Ceramica.
No problemo.
I always thought Tiago was overrated when he was being mentioned as a lotery pick, but at 28 he's a good pick. He's a good rebounder, his athleticism is good, not spectacular. His shooting and basketball iq are a suspect, but they can be worked on. He's still young (particulary for a big) and has some upside, but then again no that mush. Overall a good pick for the spurs (especially at 28), that i belive will serve them well.
Do you a have link to the numbers to back this up?
Good lord...how many college players NEVER make it to the NBA? They toil in the CBA, NBADL, etc. when others are getting called up?
Actually I think it is the other way around....why else would NBA teams calling on these Euro players for....because they can't play? If the NCAA player would rely less on being on ESPN's highlights than actually playing team ball like they do in the Euro league maybe I would agree....but I don't.
OOOOK chief.
You take the Florida Gators, I'll take Tau Ceramica.
No problemo.
done, and it would be no contest
Yep....you'd lose.
Just don't moan about it being pro players vs. college amateurs.
ok statistically you're right. but pragmatically, think about how many european players have actually established themselves here. not a whole lot really
yeah somehow i doubt that, especially with sir chokes a lot mr. louis scola playing on tau
Tau would school them so bad it wouldnt even be funny are you kidding me....
Talk about prejudice.
Gee....I wonder if it is because they are already being paid to play big money over there. Because the NBA teams can't pay enough to buyout contracts?
Those college players need to play in alot of other places because they aren't good enough to play in the NBA. Alot aren't good enough for the Euro's either...barely good enough even for lesser leagues.
Who is Mr. Chokes a alot anyways?
It's not Dirk is it?
