-  Boban Marjanovich  (from Michael C. Wright, ESPN):

" Manu Ginobili on what rookie Boban Marjanovic can provide the Spurs in the postseason: "With Boban, it depends on matchups. There are some teams that are going to be hard for him to play against. The Warriors, for example, where you have to be up and double team some players, rotate, and sometimes be on smaller players. But there are some other teams when they are a little slower and they play different where he's going to be huge. Well, he is huge. But he's going to be very important because he has a great touch, he's a big target in the paint, he rolls very well, great hands. He's a great player. The thing is that so far it's too early in his NBA career. He's got to adapt to the speed of the opponent. But for sure, he's talented, skilled, and he wants to belong. He works out really hard. He's going to give us a lot."
