Splitter is better than Scola.
For once, I actually agree with you. I mean, I don't follow basketball in Europe that much, but I really don't think he's that great of a player. He would probably start for the Spurs, but wouldn't make any star-like impact. He's still not an amazing rebounder, and the Spurs need much better rebounding. If we get him, cool, but I wouldn't be ready to jump off of a cliff if we don't get him.
Splitter is better than Scola.
he has THE POTENTIAL to be better... so far... he hasn't surpassed him...
This is a joke.
Oh Oh Oh...i hope u'r joking...tell me 3 other players at C position better than him, c'mon...
Oh yeah...i'm listening u...Bouroussis will be one...(not for me but OK)..more, please?
I've seen a lot of games from Tau this season, both in Euroleague and Spanish league, including their loss against Barca in finals just now. I stand by my claim. Right now i would take Splitter over Scola. It's close, but Splitter is better.

Splitter's season has ended tonight. It's now time for him to tell TAU FO that he wants to go in NBA as soon as next year.
Lol Good one.Splitter's season has ended tonight. It's now time for him to tell TAU FO that he wants to go in NBA as soon as next year.
he's an asshat.

As soon as he does that, thats when I'll get courtside seats.
"Next year" being 2010-2011? With him having to pay his own buyout and the Spurs hamstrung by the rookie scale, is there any way it's even possible to happen earlier?Splitter's season has ended tonight. It's now time for him to tell TAU FO that he wants to go in NBA as soon as next year.
Bourousis and Pejkovic are better than him.
Lorbek is debatable but he's more a PF so I give you that. Vazquez close to him but not as good probably. Andersen is better than him but he is really a PF also. Vujcic is debatable but Splitter has better D than him so I can give him that. Reyes is better than Splitter also. Not sure how to count him though he's under size center. Batiste plays center but is a power forward pure and simple so I would not consider him.
Basically,
Pekovic
Bourousis
Reyes
Yep I think you can say all 3 are better than Splitter at least in the current time anyway.
Rookie scale supposedly goes away next year and the Spurs can sign him to a higher contract number.
hey is splitter better than bargnani if we only look at the stats out of europe b4 any nba experience.....?
Of course. But at same age I think Bargnani was a little bit better than Splitter was.
For anybody who is curious, Splitter finished with 15 points and 8 rebounds in that final loss.Splitter's season has ended tonight. It's now time for him to tell TAU FO that he wants to go in NBA as soon as next year.
Throughout the ACB playoffs he averaged 31.58 minutes, 13.8 points, 2.1 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks. He shot 60% from the field and 71% from the free throw line.
During the regular season he averaged 24.04 minutes, 13.4 points, 1.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1 block. He shot 63% from the field and 68% from the free throw line.
Well, I'll give him this: his shooting percentage seems to be pretty consistent, in the 60& range, but I'm still not sold on him. Like I said before, I'm not going to jump off a cliff if he doesn't come over. Also, I don't want the Spurs to overpay for someone who won't at least meet expectations. We don't want to be disappointed. You know, his game might not transition to the NBA like most expect. It could totally blow up in our faces and he could suck over here.
Does Splitter's build and general style of play remind anyone else of Pau Gasol? I don't know how you'd compare their ability.
He reminds me of Kaman personally.
Biedrins
I was just about to say that. He does remind of Biedrins and that would be a huge boost for the Spurs.
After watching him play, he moves the same, finishes about the same and has the same build.
Gasol is way stronger and bigger than Splitter is.
"way" stronger is an over-exaggerated analysis
Splitter is not very strong.
Splitter is not offensively skilled like Gasol and he doesn't rebound as well as Gasol.
Splitter will not be much of a go to guy in the NBA (i.e. his post game won't produce consistent offense, at least not what I have seen, but then again not many big men in the NBA have post games nowadays). A better comparison would be Scola, but we'll see if Splitter can have the same success Scola has had so far.
