does scola have a higher basketball iq then manu or barry?

unfortunally in the nba for big that is about the asking price
but the spurs have the advantage telling him he is freaking rookie and they can show what lebron james made as a rookie

Again no one has to sell me on what hot they think Scola is, so take all your little diatribes about his Herculean strength and cheetahlike speed and 50 inch vertical and stuff it.
I know who he is and what he does.
I need to be convinced that we should blow our money on him instead of addressing our other needs. Or convince me he's only going to cost what Oberto or Nocioni did (which at this point is impossible).
He certainly has more balls than Barry
I think Scola will do well in the NBA but Sarunas had some questions similar to Scola regarding was he athletic enough. Assuming his skills cross the Atlantic the legitimate question ChumperDumper and others have asked is does Scola fill te gaping holes the Spurs have which are an athletic big, more proficient at defense and rebounding than scoring, a long three again good at defense and rebounding. Have to have at least one of those two. And finally a good backup PG. Scola doesn't fit any of those needs.
But I wouldn't want the Spurs to give Scola away cheaply. The cheaper a contract he's willing to accept the more valuable he is in trade before or after he signed with the Spurs. If Scola could be traded as an offensive low post player for a good big or long 3, and emphasize good, do it.
btw ChumperDumper I looked in that FA thread and didn't find your suggestions about who should and could be gone after.
I assume you have enough knowledge to figure this stuff out. My initial offseason plan actually includes Scola since I have alot of trades going down. However, if someone like Reggie Evans is available for $3 million, for example, do you sign him or Scola for $4 million.btw ChumperDumper I looked in that FA thread and didn't find your suggestions about who should and could be gone after.
This is why I need to be sold.
Exactly what other needs are so important that people need convincing on Scola?
A back-up point? A long swingman? Back up point guards weren't what cost the Spurs against Dallas. 2s and 3s played all series long against Dallas. A big who can produce seems like the much more pressing need, considering Horry disappeared and the only other big who played was Duncan.
The free agent class is so weak that there aren't any gems that are going to slip to the Spurs anyway.
If Scola is signed by the Spurs won't they have to wait until mid-season to trade him?
As I recall reading Sonics' teammates complained about Reggie giving them wedgies even in parctice. Hope Pop could get that resolved.
I think it's 90 days, but they could trade his rights at any time.
I heard Nocioni made an especial agreement with TAU less money around 3.5M (in monthly payments) and agreed that TAU will have the first option whenever he went out NBA.
How much is Scola getting paid by Tau? How much would he likely get paid if he signed a new contract with a European team after next season?
i sayed 10 and 5 in 20 mpg in 5-6 FGA
If Pop let him to shoot 10 times, he will be a 15 PPG player, but i don´t think he´s going to take more than 6 shots a game
Nop, probably he won't do those plays that Manu does
I'd love to know, I remember Manu came to Spurs losing some good money in his rokie contract.
scola better have more balls then baryr but what about iq
barry has a high basketball iq
the poster said scolas was inteligent
I wanted to know if he thought he was smarter then barry or manu
3 million a year is alot for a scrub like Evans, he's a good rebounder but that's it. IMO he's Nazr's 6'8 twin brother, bad hands, no offensive moves, bad D, can't block shots but he can rebound the basketball. I'd rather pay scola 8 million a year then Evans 3.
If I am that one... the answer is NO
balls X IQ of Scola > balls X IQ of Barry
Where was Barry's BBall IQ when he was throwing in bounds passes. . . out of bounds?
on vacation!
So another low post scorer is all we need?
Revisiting Reggie. He solves the Spurs rebounding. Who does he guard on Dallas? Does he guard Dirk out on the floor? Does he pose any kind of offensive threat that makes Dirk work on defense. How does he matchup against the Suns? Is Reggie the defender to match with Duncan as a shot blocker or contester on the baseline channeling defense. I'm not sure that Evans is the solution.
Does Scola guard Dirk?
Is Scola an NBA shotblocker?
And where does Scola play in halfcourt sets with Duncan?
I just used Evans as an example, but some of your questions about him could appply to Scola as well.
A big man who can produce will help more. Simple as that.So another low post scorer is all we need?
Paying $4 million for Rasual Butler doesn't cut it. Offering the full MLE to Jared Jeffries only to have the Wizards match isn't any better.
same place Malik played.And where does Scola play in halfcourt sets with Duncan?
he has a better chance than Rasho.Does Scola guard Dirk?
Produce what? What are your predicted numbers for Scola?A big man who can produce will help more. Simple as that.
