Brent Barry.
but Scola wont struggle in the NBA, maybe just alittle bit on the defensive side but all European players have that problem, but not on the offensive side, because he dominated the USA team in the Olympics
why do I keep bringing that point up because the USA team is made of NBA players like Tim Duncan
but not on the offensive side, because he dominated the USA team in the Olympics
DUDE THE NBA PLAYERS NEVER SAW HIM PLAY
JAMES KILLED BOWEN THE FIRST TIME HE PLAYED AGAINST HIM
THEN HE FIGURED HIM OUT AND JAMES HAS SUCKED AGAINST HIM SINCE
and another thing, I never remember Rasho having a turnover problem when he was a starter, sure he didnt dunk but that is not his game, and Rasho is better defensively than Nazr is
Pop even agrees with me, and I quote "Rasho is probably the best defensively on this team, he is always in the right position to make a stop" something along those lines but Pop praises Rasho's defense
I'm more concerned about the defensive presence than the offensive presence of the center. Everyone keeps saying Nazr will get better, but we don't know that. I don't feel good about trading away our proven defensive center who was producing the way we wanted and hoped he would before his ankle injury for an unknown center who's contract is in the air.
If he's our starting center, his contract demands shoot through the roof, because who will we replace him with? If you have to trade, keep Rasho (the proven factor) and trade Nazr - the 5 position in this set up does not need to be high scoring.
At least you know that Barry and SAR can make it in the NBA.
So in 2002, when Scola played in the world games, the NBA players didn't get to see him?
Really Ducks... quit being so lame.
Spurs May Have Nazr's Extention About Wrapped Up
Who Knows If They Do Would You Pull The Trigger
and the USA team has seen Scola before just like they had seen Manu before; both of them were on the Argentina NT in the World Championships; heck the USA team couldnt stop Manu, Scola, Nocioni, and Oberto then and they still cant stop them now
even with the coaching of pop and brown they couldnt stop the Argentina NT
And the best PF in Europe can't?
Scola's defense and size are real concerns in SA, as well as his speed. He's not a lock to make it in the NBA, let alone star or whatever you guys are expecting.
That means jack in the NBA.
IN THE NBA THE PLAYERS SEE EACH OTHER MORE
I AM NOT SOLD SCOLA'S D IS GOING TO BE ALL THAT
YES HE HAD GOOD OUTINGS IN THE GAMES BUT TO BAD THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RULES IN THE NBA
YES BUT HE PLAYED WITH MANU AND IS FROM THE SAME COUNTRY SO HE IS SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING
just look at the facts; manu comes in has a great rookie season; if it werent for an ankle injury he would of been a bigger part of the reg season/ manu = nba ready
Nocioni comes in and plays for the Bulls even gets the starting job for a little bit and plays great; a tough defender with alot of energy/ nocioni = nba ready
get the picture everyone/ scola = nba ready
Just wait and see
Oh, it doesn't?
So Jasikevicius getting interest from a lot of NBA teams has nothing to do with him being considered the best point guard in Europe?
Explain Manu's success in the NBA?
Nocioni's success.
And Delfino's fan pub.
Who called him a superstar? Lebron James?YES BUT HE PLAYED WITH MANU AND IS FROM THE SAME COUNTRY SO HE IS SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING
And the best PF in Europe can't?
That means jack in the NBA.
MARCUS DID YOU EVER HEAR WHAT THEY WERE CALLING MANU WHEN HE WAS IN EUROPE("the best SG in Europe")
and I think Manu turned out all right, there is a reason the spurs drafted scola because they knew he could be something special in the NBA like Manu is now
Why Would You Not Want The Spurs To Trade Him
If He Is That Good He Would See More Minutes On A Different Team Esecially If This Trade Goes Down
What's Jaric done in the league? Come on.
Also, the Euro rules can help mask a lot of weaknesses for bigs that can be exposed in the NBA. Also, the caliber of bigs and especially the athleticism of bigs in the NBA is somewhat different than in Europe.
Europe isn't any different from Div. 1 bball.
Scola has about as much chance of success as any PF/C drafted last week.
So what? This is the NBA not the NCAA.
Because it's better to have a 25 year old 6'9 player who can be a great add. to the puzzle than a 28 year old 6'9 player with gimpy knees who needs the minutes and ball to be successful.
Exactly, so quit doubting the guy and let him show what the he has. If the Spurs in general had your mindset, Manu would be playing for the Blazers or Magic.
