NBA Draft Prospects
Tiago Splitter, 7-0, Center, Tau Vitoria
Jonathan Givony
Playing only 11 minutes due to a shoulder injury that will keep him out of action for 15 days, this was clearly not the type of performance either Tiago Splitter or the many NBA front office types that made the trip to Prague envisioned when Tau Vitoria clinched their spot in the Euroleague Final Four.
If its of any consequence, Splitter did not do much in the 11 minutes of action he saw in the first game of the Final Four. He pulled down one nice offensive rebound and scored on the putback, picked up two quick fouls, played nice pick and roll defense on one possession, and generally did not touch the ball even once in Taus lethargic looking half-court set. He fell to the ground midway through the 2nd quarter with his team down 16 points, and was announced out of the game shortly after. His team never really stood much of a chance to make a comeback after he left, as Maccabi completely dominated them offensively.

With Splitter out of commission, there was nothing for the NBA people to take in as far as draft prospects go. CSKA has a few interesting youngsters in Kurbanov and Zavoruev that did not see the floor for even a minute in the Final Four, and the same was the case with Maccabis Omri Caspi.
