His game (just my opinion, i'm not expert or something)
Good Points: Moves on post, hook, layup and defense, court IQ.
Bad Points: Athleticism (too soft for C), mid-range and free throw shot.
People need know, it's very hard to adaptation to the game playing small time, he's not in the time/beat of the other players in the roster. First season of him, obviously he will find a lot of difficulties specially with the big centers of NBA. He Missed the training camp, and he's trying to create his space in a done team, with the best record in NBA, so its hard.
For me he dont have body to play against big centers, Duncan should make this function and Splitter plays in PF...
He have a good potential to NBA, for me he's better than Varejao and worst than Nene, he can be a good role player in future (like others two big brazilians), lets give some time to him.
no one hates him....he needs some time in pop's system....
Lock him up in a weight room for one half of the day, and then lock him up in a gym to work on his offensive game.
There you have it folks. The solution.
The stats where he play at least 20 minutes are intriguing...
Thanks for putting that together.
Manu_Forever_KBP should be here shortly.
Wow. He looks very promising. I hope we can convince him to come to the U.S. and play with the Spurs. I'd like to avoid another Scola fiasco.
Then they're not Greek, thus their info is reliable.
Sorry man, I'm from Brazil and i dont want confusion!![]()
ive stayed away from spurstalk this wholeseason because i wanted to sit in the shadows and see how spurstalk would change while the spurs were hot , i was going to start posting when we were in a slump but im happy to say i dont think were going to have one this season hahaha.
i was the biggest tiago advocate here in spurstalk a while back, and i gotta say he looked terrible in the memphis game but you know what so did b0nner!! i mean he always looks terrible on the defensive end but last night he wasnt even making his fools gold 3pointers and hes never disciplined for his play ever.
we gave bonner 4 years FOUR YEARS PEOPLE to finally play decent just to play decent. yes hes almost 50 % but look at his stats when the game actually means something he's WORTHLESS and he will always suck when the team needs someone to stand up. so please shut up with the splitter talk that was his first game back give him 6 games with REAL minutes
Show us.
It would be like saying that a NBA center named to consecutive NBA First Team and NBA Second Teams isn't one of the best centers in the NBA...
You need to work on your trolling skills.
Uh, bull .
Because you've never mentioned anyone that was better.
Ugh....here comes a list of every Vujakaukos and Brontosaurus that plays in some Euro D-League.
But there won't be a list of anyone better than Splitter.
I am tired of hearing how great he was in the Euroleague.
It is not translating to even being worthy of getting quality minutes in the NBA so far.
That's why they're still in the Euro D-Leagues and Tiago is in the NBA. KBP never quite gets that.
tbh, your crystal ball needs tweaking. He showed up a whole 13 mins after your comment.![]()
I haven't given up on Tiago yet. If Bonner can go from puss to quality contributor, Tiago sure as can. Not this year though. Not with Pop.
"Splitter wasn't best center in europe" thread!
Splitter's never been a puss. I'd love to see how Splitter contributes with as many starts as Bonner got two years ago.
I am tired of reading your tired troll bull
yet here we are.
Had he stayed healthy in the preseason you most likely would've.
