Yup and traded him for yo boy Craig.Did you know that the Spurs also drafted John Salmons in 2001 when they drafted Scola?

I have watched Scola enough and I think Landry is better and more athletic with longer range and accuracy on his shots. But Scola has some very good low post moves but never dunks the ball? Is this a tendency of Eurobasket to forget dunking the ball? He is every bit as good a flopper as Ginobili though so kudos to him for learning to flop the Argentine way.
Scola's shooting % is about 0.500,he might not have a very long range,but he can make a paycheck out of his midrange jumper.
As far as flooping: He just takes full advantage of the rules and apply them by setting possition on D,that's all.
no flooping,just BBIQ,and knowledge of the game.
Besides a good mid-range jumper (something that US fans and players tend to scorn)Scola has some crafty moves around the basket that will get him some easy shots. If he makes them, he'll be a net asset on offense.
So far, I've been impressed by his hustle on defense, rebounding and running the court.
His teammates ignore him when he's open at times. I don't know if that's lack of confidence or bias against a rookie with a big Euro rep.
No that is because of low overall basketball IQ on T-Mac's part.
the spurs lack of another inside scorer makes me wonder ....ooohh forget about it!!! we dont have anymore that guy ..scola ..the same who is scoring and playing with yao in the paint and doing it well for a rookie
Don't think so most good Euroleague big player try dunk every time.
So how come Scola doesn't dunk in the NBA?
Scola was great tonight. He really helped out in the Rockets win over the Warriors.
Dunk = Layup = 2 points.
Obvious because watch Rocket games they have no point guard that can make play creation for players. Spanoulis only player they have can do this and he never play. Aaron Brooks just same as Alston no ability to create open dunk for players.
Landry doesn't seem to find any problem with receiving the ball and dunking.
Rockets did good in january.They went 10-4 in this month alone.

OMG this thread is still alive
Yeah thank Hemotivo(one of them-24pts 10 rebs after a good game) he started a Scola thread in the NBA basketball central and he found out nobody gives a besides ed up Spurs fans who can't seem to let him go.OMG this thread is still alive
exactly
Where's the Official Melvin Ely thread?
there's actually one at www.bigscrubsinthenba.com
Yao in an interview to an in China says he thinks Scola will be the starter from now on supplanting Chuck Hayes.
an Sports: What do you mean by the right strategy?
Yao Ming: Well, the biggest change we made was starting Luis Scola, and that sort of caught the Golden States Warriors off guard. As soon as the game started, they were sticking to their former tactics of fronting and double-teaming me with their interior players. And you witnessed how fierce and ominous Luis Scola played in offense. The more fierce and ominous Luis Scola played and scored, the lesser the pressure (and attention) was placed on me. As Luis Scola was left open to score, I was able to score too. That was the reason why we played a superb first quarter, and we were leading unexpectedly 29 to 9, a 20-point margin, something that I never dreamed before.
an Sports: What is your take of Luis Scola’s future?
Yao Ming: Now that Luis Scola got his starting position, (I tend to think) he will stay as a starter. Chuck Hayes had provided this team with distinguished services in the past, but Luis Scola's skills and ability in offense will make our team much better.
That's funny, since Ely is about as productive as Scola at a fraction of the price.
Fierce and omnius!!!!!!!!!
