What will the frontcourt look like that season?
The Spurs went with Mahinmi, Splitter, and $6.8 mil in cost savings and cash this year over Butler and Scola.
So what will Mahinmi and Splitter put up (pts and rebs) in the 2008-09 season?
What will the frontcourt look like that season?
Mahinmi will do absolutely nothing. He doesn't even deserve the roster spot. I can't say for Splitter.
Correction to the premise. Scola was not an option. HE WOULD NOT PLAY FOR THE SPURS. PERIOD. Let's get that right as the point of reference for all future discusiion. You could have had Butler and the piece of the MLE used on him in '06-'07 or Scola in '06-'07, not both. You couldn't have Scola in '07-'08 for the crown jewels.
With that I'll say Mahinmi is a disappointment and Splitter as a rookie is 10 and 7 with very good D in 30 mpg
Horry gone. Splitter replaces Elson. Bonner takes Horry's.
That's not a given. All we know is that the Spurs didn't want Scola.
Cue whottt.
Nope. Read Sam's posts. Sam gets his info in all likelihood directly from a tall red headed person.
C OBERTO/SPLITTER
PF DUNCAN/BONNER/MAHINMI
To me this doesn't look like a good frontcourt.
Splitter: 9 and 7.
Mahinmi: 5 and 4.
Splitter as a rookie -- 10pts 7rbs 1blk 25 mins
Mahinmi as a rookie -- 2.3pts 2.5 rbs 8mins
How about....
Duncan/Splitter/Oberto
Brand/Mahinmi/Bonner
??? not bad i rekon
Splitter, if he's here, 6 and 4.
Mahinmi won't be.
More than Butler and Scola. Splitter will average better numbers by himself than those two.
Splitter 5 pts 5 reb
Ian DNP
thats good till bout 2012/2013 then comes the time of Tiago and Ian![]()
Splitter 7 ppg, 5 rpg
Mahinmi 1.1 ppg, 0.7 rpg
Mahinmi me we can agree on. Splitter aint no college soph rook.... hes a 5 year Euroleague PRODUCThe can hold down that C spot as soon as he arrives for 10 years.
Scouts are saying that Splitter is NBA ready NOW. I think Mahinmi will be better than you think, but it will be his 3rd or 4th season before he gets a good deal of PT.
I have heard that. On draft night, the ESPN crew was saying that Splitter could have gone higher if he had come out last year.Scouts are saying that Splitter is NBA ready NOW. I think Mahinmi will be better than you think, but it will be his 3rd or 4th season before he gets a good deal of PT.
Still doesn't help the Spurs for the upcoming season though.
Tiago 7pts 4rebs
Ian 5pts 3rebs
Mahimni... gets here and does nothing. injuries etc... Splitter 11.2 and 6.7 and All Star rookie vs. sop res MVP award
Splitter struggles to average 10 points per 40 minutes in Euroleague and people are putting him down for 10 points per 30 minutes in the NBA?
Splitter averages 4 and 4.
Mahinmi averages 3 and 2.
