There were a lot of winners and losers at the draft, but the one most frequently overlooked was the fantastic luck/intelligence once again displayed by the champion San Antonio Spurs. They sat there and waited. And waited. And who fell into their lap?
Tiago Splitter (Far right below)
Tiago, if it wasn't for his ridiculous Spanish buyout clause I'd be a lottery pick the last 4 years, Splitter
7 feet (Almost). Plays big. Is big. Is good.
Remember a few years ago? David Robinson was getting old. In comes Tim Duncan. We get the Twin Towers.
He could very well be the Duncan to Tim Duncan's Admiral. Duncan is still not that old, and this Spurs team is better, which means Splitter doesn't even need to be as good as Duncan was. The Admiral was Drafted in 87. Duncan 10 years later in 97. Ten years later, they get Splitter in '07.
The West dominance isn't going to end anytime soon. And the Spurs are going to make sure they maintain their dominance.
