Will Tiago Splitter Impact The Hawks This Year?

Remember in 2013 when Tiago Splitter tried to dunk on LeBron James? Yeah, I’m sure you all was thinking what in the world was he trying to do there. But besides the infamous block by James and ESPN’s Stephen A Smith emphasis to make sure he pronounces every letter in Splitter’s name, which is always a way to get laughs, Splitter is actually well-rounded basketball player. He scores when needed (definition of a clean-up man), defends and rebounds, so it was unfortunate that he went down with injury (hip) and never got the chance to truly be effective this past season.
