He moves really well for a big man. I kind of see his game as being similar to Gasol's. He's surely going to have positive contributions for the Spurs. Go Rockets! We have the other power forward that the Spurs drafted.
This guy loves pick and roll, Manu is salivating. And Tony is have sex with Eva. And George is practicing his tear drop. And blair is working on his jumper. And RJ is working out with Pops. And anderson is resting his hammy. And Timmy is resting on the island.
he plays with a lot of passion, and is very skilled. There are a lot of nba players with althletisism and no skill that don't make it. I think he will. Spurs fans have dreamed about the day that splitter would come over, and now he is here! A lot of people rag on bonner but he busts his ass out there every night for the team, thoug i hope he shoots better this year. roger mason we will miss you. As far as RJ i think he started to get it at the end of last season. And dejuan bear we love you!
He is a good pickup for the spurs but can he get them another ring? I think depends on rather they decide to trade tony which i think is a good idea. They should also trade RJ for shooter/defender like Shane Battier, Raja Bell, or even James Posey.
@bigkuntry21 5th ring, thats what we are aiming for man! I can't wait for him and getting rid of RJ maybe (Unless he comes out next year hungry) and get a athletic defender, if they got that there they might get that #5 we all want so badly.
@65ways He is ten times better than Bonner, hell who is not? LOL. I hope he comes over here and just gets 10 and 8 his first year, I would be happy with that there.
@onblock7 i just hope we finally find a decent center. i know its impossible to replace robinson but damn its been 7 years without a solid guy in the middle...
This guy doesn't seem really athletic. He plays a power game in Europe, which wont translate well in the NBA against stronger talent. He reminds me of David Anderson without an outside shot, which makes him very limited in his ability to contribute, id rather invest a larger role into Dejuan Blair.
@gencbiba i agree. i think he can provide the help on both the offensive and defensive end of the court, and that should take some pressure off Duncan, whether Timmy's on or off the court.
@Alex40869 Yes but Blair is a backup PF here, nothing more or less right now. He can play the C I believe and we have Dyess as well to back him up or he can back up Dyess. Either way he is alot better than Bonner out there which Pop loves for some reason.
@onblock7 Blair is a stud, but it's obvious why he is behind Bonner a lot of the time. His height, he is 6 7, if only he was 6 10 he would be a 18 and 10 guy a night.
@denveraic I agree, but nobody should be behind useless Bonner. He is 6'7 and Bonner is what 6'10 and he still boards more? Bonner is just useless and I hope he is gone this offseason and Splitter comes over.
@onblock7 Yeah, I really don't know why Bonner is even around. He was only worth having when he could make 3's, and even then he still was garbage. Just a waste of money and space. Who knows, maybe Blair will get some more time in his 2nd year.
thats a tall rim

@65ways It's just because he isn't that athletic. As an all around player he is very good and known as one of the best not in the NBA.
