    Oberto inició su nueva aventura

    Fabricio Oberto se instala hoy en San Antonio para comenzar su aventura en la NBA jugando en el campeón, los Spurs junto a su amigo Emanuel Ginóbili. El pivote cordobés realizará un plan de acondicionamiento físico hasta que el 3 de octubre comience oficialmente la pretemporada de la Liga más poderosa del planeta y su equipo la desarrollará en Islas Vírgenes (de donde es oriundo Tim Duncan) y St Thomas. El 12 de octubre será el primer encuentro de la pretemporada ante Philadelphia Sixers, aunque el primer partido oficial de Oberto en los Spurs será el 1 de noviembre, en el SBC Center de San Antonio ante Denver Nuggets en la noche de la entrega de los anillo de campeón a los integrantes del plantel de la última campaña, entre ellos Manu Ginóbili, quien desde la semana pasada está en Estados Unidos realizando también el acondicionamiento.
    De Etiqueta

    Antes de viajar a San Antonio, Oberto firmó contrato con la marca de ropa Etiqueta Negra, que viste entre otros a Marcelo Tinelli. La empresa es una de las tantas que quieren al cordobés como imagen.

    forgive me guys, but i like him better than this yrs' #1 pick of the Bucks Bogut.

    if this one plays some minutes than expected, he'd be giving Bogut a headache in the run for that ROY this yr.

    even before departing for St.Thomas.

    It's pretty much a lost cause. His best year in the free throw line, through all his pro career (12 years), he shot 55%. If he would have practised FTs more, he would have been in the NBA many years ago.

    EDIT: There are years with better percentages, but that is because he played only a few games.

    Here are his career stats in the Spanish league (5 years in Argentina, 1 in Greece and the stats with the National Team missing)



    Reference:
    Temp.= Season
    Fase= LR (Regular Season) PT (Playoffs)

    Par.= Games Played
    Min.= Minutes
    5i= Games Started

    Puntos= Points

    Tiros de 3= 3 Pointers
    Int.= Attempted
    Con= Made

    Tiros de 2= 2 Pt. FG
    Int.= Attempted
    Con= Made

    Tiros libres= Free Throws
    Int.= Attempted
    Con= Made

    Rebotes= Rebounds

    Rec.= Steals
    Per.= Turnovers

    Tapones= Blocks
    Fav.= Made
    Con.= Received

    Mat.= Dunks

    Faltas= Fouls
    Com.= Made
    Rec.= Received

    Val.= It would be like efficiency, but it's a different formula, of course

    Totales= Total
    Promedios= Average

    but i really don't give so much weight on poor FT %. , anyway.

    i know 2 of the best big men in the Universe who won les but had difficulty in FT shooting and their names are Tim & ShaQ.

    I posted his (Spanish League) career numbers above, he has better percentages than 55% some years, but he played very few games in those (or playoffs).

    thanks for posting the translation per stat. Damn we have a Spanish speaking province in the country(Zamboanga), and some subjects in college, too but I still can't get it right.

    Problem is he will not be playing Bogut minutes.He will be coming of the bench and play maybe 12 minutes.

    by far better rookie though.

    I have great hopes on Oberto, but I'm pretty sure that it's gonna take some time to adapt. I'm biting my nails just waiting for the Manu - Oberto combo.
