True.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. It's not about talent with either of them.
Time I guess will show if Splitter is a partier or a serious baller.
I don't why the Pistons just put themselves in a logjam at G I was expecting this guy to be drafted by the Pistons...
If his whole contract situation gets worked out I am sure he will be good for the Spurs. His name has been spread around the last 1 or 2 years about the NBA, so he should be solid for you guys.
By anyone who follows prospects and was alive last year. He could have possibly been a lottery pick last year, not to mention he was in the mid teens in most mock drafts this year. I just saw a quote from Pop saying he couldnt believe splitter was still on the board.
Wow! I guess I've been giving some of the people around here way too much respect on their opinions of players. Most of you sound like grade school kids who have been reading the Sports Illustrated. Fact is Tiago would have been a lottery pick last year and would have been one next year. You can't look at stats of the Euro leagues and think it equates to NBA standards. The Spurs got a stud. Hands down the best pick left and probably should have been drafter 5-10 picks higher. U.S. college ballers out of the top 5 would only see 10-15 minutes a game in the Euro leagues. You think Spurs fans would know better by now. Also, look out for the kid from Greece. He plays like Luke Walton with three point range.
My family and I take offense to that statement.And its David Kornel to you.
Im wondering if Tiago is thought of along the same lines as Nenad.
If so, then Tiago might be alright.
Calling Splitter a stud is somewhat laughable. He'll be a serviceable player. I'm confident about that - he's athletic, has skills, has a motor - but to call him a stud is really pushing it. He was considered a lottery pick last year - and I'd like to see the link to that - because last year's draft was one of the lousiest in years. Joakim Noah was considered number one overall, as you'll remember.
Getting Splitter is a kind of sideways move. He'll replace the aging bigs like Elson, will bring in new advantages and disadvantages. He'll not be very expensive... if he comes over. That's the key, getting it to happen. Drafting him is only about a quarter of the business.
Elementary school kids should be in bed by this time of night. Put down your copies of S.I. and jusy know that Parker and Ginobili were over looked too.
Uh Body...
Whos calling him a stud?
Show some respect for the Raptor.
Too bad the kid from Greece is a Raptor and not a Spur.
Uh... post #106. Do you read these threads?
So its a euro's opinion.
God chill.
I assume you have Derrick Byars in mind. I assume that he killed someone today to drop to the 40's.
Who's euro?
I mis wrote that.
I meant, thats an opinion on a euro.
Honest.
I like this pick. No 1st round guarantee money, and bring him over next year after Horry retires. Very savvy on the Spurs' part.
those videos show why you can't compare him to rasho, rasho can't dunk for , and rasho can't even run
They guy's got some quickness to go along with his size. If he increases his skill set and develops a low post game he could be extremely productive and be considered a steal at 28.
For the near future I like his length and mobility as a defensive center next to TD. He may not be a great shotblocker, but taught properly in the Spurs system he can alter a of a lot of shots and clean the glass.
I see reports comparing him to PJ Brown. Might this be accurate considering he doesn't have good shot blocking, but is known to have good quickness laterally?
Here is his detailed profile if not posted already....

Is he going to come over this season?
Yes, he is a solid NBA prospect. I think he is a better inside player than Elson. He has a bigger base and he appears stronger than Francisco. He's more skilled than Javtokas but he doesn't blow you away with his talent. He can play in the NBA, especially in the Spurs' passing game. I don't see him as someone worthy of drawing a double in the post just yet.
