I'm eager to see him play in the NBA, because that's the only way anyone will know.
My point on the other half adjusting to the rules and style. Some people can't and some people can. Scola can play against NBA-compe ion, but we'll have to see if he can adjust to the rules which IMO shouldn't be hard, I mean so far Argentina has produced 4 players who are the top players on there national teams to sucessfully play in the NBA, so Scola's odds at that seem good. I'm eager to see Scola play against Team USA today, see how that goes.

Another thing Scola has taken the role of a supporting player and main option and has been successful in both, maybe Batista's problem was that he needed to be the main option in ATL to get anything done/be productive or no?
Again, what has Scola proven in the NBA?
Good one.
You probably think he is no match to Beno either.
I'm putting Batista out there as clear evidence that performance in FIBA is not a great indicator of how a player will perform in the NBA. I can't make any clear predictions about Scola in the NBA. If you can, more power to you.
Chump you should have stayed in Las Vegas longer for the FIBA tournament.
Would've been fun. I'm surprised the turnout is so low.
I agree, but one thing that can see if you can handle the NBA game is to see if you can handle the NBA talent. Look at the games played against Team USA and not any other team, so stats against other countries would not be held accountable, just performance against Team USA, but then you'd have to hold in to account all the minor differences, Court dimensions, time length, Refs etc....
I just put that in because a big factor of being able to play in the NBA, besides style/rules, is to see if you can run and keep up with the NBA guys.
You mean like Carlos Arroyo?
I'm talking about maintaining an NBA career and staying, not dominating and being a star and Arroyo has done that. So yeah, Arroyo would count.
Well if thats the bar being set for Scola I can totally agree, he wil be a servicable player no doubt. Just getting tired of all these dip s acting like its a given he will be some kind of 18 and 10 guy
Yeah, I don't expect that either, I'm thinking he's like Oberto except with a better offensive output.
What is you point?
Anybody who has not played in the NBA is in Scola's same position.
Isn't that obvious?
All I'm saying is that the Houston trade sucked ass and I find it funny that some people right such long eassays to defend it.
Apparently not to some people
Bonner has proved he can play in the NBA, Scola hasnt
Not saying he wont contribute, but no one really knows how good or bad he will be

Doesn't really need defending. The Spurs had a limited window in which to get rid of Scola and this was the best deal. You can certainly say it sucks and we should have paid Butler for nothing one more year and not signed Udoka, but Scola wasn't going to be a Spur regardless.
Scola > Nazr > Rasho
yeah,but in a sorry ass loosing team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
probably the 80% of his points in Europe were already in garbage time when his team was already loosing by 25,WTF?????????
More bull posts by you, just throw out there and hope its true. You are the worst Spur fan ever, you only care about the players from your country, not the team
And btw,
2003 Sicilia 33 0 36.8 54.3% 36.1% 81.4% 2.3 0.3 19.2
Mpg is highlighted for ya
No bull at all.go back and see who He played for.
It was a sorry ass loosing team.NO bull .
Bottomline: SCOLA>bonner
Not in the NBA
No stupid, talking about you trying to say he got his points in garbage time, but i already proved that wrong, so once again, your just a idiot that doesnt know what he's talking about
It was the WORST team in italian league, Scola at 19, playing for Cabitel Gijon, a spanish team better than Sicilia, but far worse than Tau Ceramica, had stellar stats (he was a one man show in that team, and saved that team from being sent to an inferior division, the next year, after Scola went to Tau, the team couldn't avoid being kicked out of ACB league) that couldn't repeat in Tau Ceramica after several seasons of improvements....
comparing Sicilia's stats with Tau Ceramica stats is like comparing Atlanta Hawks stats (or even NBDL stats) with Spurs stats.
Will you insist now comparing crappy team stats with a perennial Euroleague's Final Four team stats?
I do.
Scola>Bonner,Elson,Tiago,Mahimni(all together if you want)
Book it,coze you like the rest will regret it later.
Me as a spurs fan am already regreting it.
This trade happened months ago and people are still slaving over him and completely forgot they are Spurs fans.
