Awesome.
Yay.
nice, i am excited to see him suit up, what do you think his role will be, in terms of minutes, offence inclusion etc
Awesome news. I can't wait to see Fabricio in the silver and black. Reports I've read said he is more NBA-ready than Manu when he came into the league.
We should get a glimpse of him and the jersey for the first time during the press conference on Tuesday.
Magico.
What channel is the press conference going to be on?
Really. This is some news
He can crash at my place a for a huge fee
I hope so! Manu came in with a busted ankle!
J/K
The links refer to several Oberto ex-teammates and coaches that basically point out how good of a team-focused player Fabricio is, and a great person as well. I think he will fit in just fine in San Antonio. He is also a great defender (who still has to prove himself in the NBA) and a fine rebounder. Let's just hope he can learn the system quick andbe useful for this team.
