RE: Collecting Sleeper of 2011-12 season
I am not holding my breathe for Splinter, Neal will be great in that system.
For Splinter and Rubio I doubt that those guys "Spainish" success translates to the same in the NBA.
Tiago didn't have a great NBA rookie campaign after winning the Spainish MVP accolades. Rubio didn't even start in the playoffs last year, even after he was declared healthy and getting burn time off the bench.
The foreign competition for these players is not anywhere near the NBA level. I will just say that I am a doubter not a hater. I was rooting for Tiago as a breakout rookie last year and was not pleased with the results.
