Hes shaping up to be the next Carl Herrera
He doesnt' seem to be doing much with the minutes he is given. He's clearly the 5th bigman, behind Duncan, Horry, Rasho, and Nazr.
If somebody gets hurt, he still isn't seeing more than 10 min in a game (at this point). He seems pretty lost defensively, doesn't score much, and isn't putting up much in rebounds either.
Any comments on his adjustment so far? Perhaps the Spurs see him as insurance against either trading Rasho or letting Nazr go, but we have yet to see enough of him to judge if he would be a suitable replacement.
I'm leaning toward Oberto having more of a role like Marks than Rasho at this point, though as he learns more about the Spurs system I guess its possible he adjusts.
Hes shaping up to be the next Carl Herrera
he's shaping up?
Rasho and Nazr would also look like crap if they had the same minutes off the bench as Oberto. He's good good hands and he's always in good positions for rebounds. I think big guys need big minutes to produce.
Rasho is doing great as starter and deserves it. I say keep things as they are and keep developing Oberto.
Unfortunately, not so well....
he looks so lost out there and is a freaken foul magnet!!
I recall people saying he could be starting sooner rather than later.
Doesn't seem to likely, I think the hype was a little to high with Oberto
yea...I concur.I recall people saying he could be starting sooner rather than later.

Good position? Yeah I guess.He's good good hands and he's always in good positions for rebounds
Good hands? eh so so.
But he doesn't jump for rebounds.
he doesnt even tip them out.
He gets outrebounded by guards.
The hype surrounding this guy was stupid now that you look back on it.
Carl Herrero=Oberto
oberto had hype?
Go check the Oberto thread from July.
I don't think he's quite like Carl. He seems to have a decent feel for the game, he's got size, and he's played for quite a few years at a high level. I don't expect that he'll be the next Dwight Howard, but I think he could possibly be a serviceable backup once he gets more comfortable. He'll always be limited, but I don't think he'll always be practically useless like he is now.
unless he acquires lift, or speed, hes always gonna be this useless.but I don't think he'll always be practically useless like he is now.
Oberto is a team player
So, his numbers without minutes never can be hights
Looks like Oberto may turn out to be a Sean Marks who speaks Spanish.
Oberto doesn't put up stats.
But he is the only big man I have ever seen who can execute the give-and-go with Rasho Nesterovic. Rasho with American players looks like Uncle Fester. Rasho around other Euroleague vets turns into Vlade Divac. I cannot explain it.
"Popovich: Mirada sobre Oberto
No ver en acción a Fabricio Oberto resulta extraño para los seguidores del cordobés, vital para los logros históricos de la Selección Argentina. Saber que jugó menos de diez minutos en 10 de los 16 partidos en los que estuvo en cancha desalienta al observador. Por lo visto en la temporada, Popovich alterna como pivotes a Rasho Nesterovic y Nazr Mohammed, más altos pero mucho menos técnicos que el argentino. Y al utilizar a Robert Horry como ala pivot, a Oberto también se le cierra otro camino para conseguir minutos.
—¿Cómo evalúa a Oberto?
—Se está acomodando como uno lo hubiera esperado cuando un jugador no tiene muchos minutos. Fue muy inteligente para aprender cosas, pero no tuvo muchas oportunidades para sumar experiencia en la cancha, porque Mohammed y Nesterovic han jugado bien. Pero aprende rápido y cada día. Pienso que cuando lleguen los playoffs será muy importante para nosotros.
—¿Pero jugó como usted lo había visto siempre en la Selección?
—Seguro. Le pedimos que jugara como lo hace en la Selección. Es un obrero del básquetbol. Hace cortinas, rebotea, agarra pelotas perdidas, se faja, la pasa, juega para el equipo. Hace el trabajo sucio como con Argentina.

he was not overhyped as much as lebron jamesI recall people saying he could be starting sooner rather than later.

are we still gonna try and get Scola next year?
who said the spurs would get scola?
he has a large buyout and wants atleast the full mle to start
like the spurs should pay that UNPROVEN NBA ROOKIE THAT KND OF JACK
I'm asking if we are still going to attempt that in the future.
quick trade him to the pacers they like him
You know the word was that Scola was definately the better player, but not by leaps and bounds over Oberto. Makes you wonder how much of just hype Scola will ultimately turn out to be regardless of where he plays.
the man has a jersey out for sell too.
