V-Span can block Yao's alley-up while sitting on the floor.
Don't go there. Don't be same asshole as some.
V-Span is very solid bball player. I think that he is no worst than Calderon.
Difference is that Calderon got a chance and he didn't.
There are very few bad players in this league. Just think about rigorous scanning of every single player before he is offered an NBA contract. Most of this guys are damn good players. In fact this is about 450 best players selected from all over the world. NBA doesn't overlook many. Some of them just don't fit in their teams for some reason. There are a lot of little things that can make or break somebodies future. Some of them just can't handle fame and money and sometimes they just don't get that lucky break. And usually you don't get to many chances. But be sure, all of them can ball.
Oh well there are some logs among them for sure, but managers like to gamble on 7,2 footers or even bigger dudes.

Wow, Vagisilis Spanakopitas is better than Beano!
As long as you admit that you are an asshole.
Last night: 23 minutes, 2-10 shooting, 8 points, 4 dimes from the man-purse, no turnovers, 6 drinks, 3 chicks, 1.5 pounds
that's it????
Damn![]()
He had an off-night.
Beno had more than an off night, he left the game with an injured leg. I still can't find out what the is wrong though.
It's Sacramento, for chrissakes. Three women in one night is 600 pounds of lady. Of course he has an injured leg. He's lucky he doesn't have a crushed pelvis.
When did he get injured, during or supposedly before the game?
OK,now It sounds more like good old Beno![]()
BTW, shouldn't this be moved to the Kings forum? It could use the traffic.
wtf are all the benowagon fans now? Damn, it's just one game.
Having watch nearly all of Beno's King's game minutes it's the same old Beno. One good quarter of scoring, bad turnovers, slow, etc.. Nobody should feel like the Sours lost a diamond.
Scola on the otherhand is rounding into form, making shots you would expect him to make based on his Euro play. Soon only whottt and a few other diehards will carry the Scola sucks torch.
He's improving in on the boards,now doubt.
But he's shooting over 50 % fg.
If you mix those things up,and add his passing abylities and BBIQ,you get a fine role player.
Eh...I didn't expect him to suck as badly as he did at first...I expected him to suck later on. I still expect that...in fact, because he sucked so badly at first, I expect him to suck even worse later on than I originally expected him to suck.
He's made some J's.....that's not the main thing you want from a PF. Teams will just stop leaving him open and poof, that will dry up. I expected his post game to be ahead of the NBA defenders however...the fact that it hasn't been tells me his athleticism is even more un NBA caliber than I thought it was....I expect him to make adjustments and have few good games in the post, and then I expect the NBA teams to adjust...and then Scola will suck.
Guy doesn't have what it takes to be a good player in the NBA...and it's going to take more than 2 good games to convince me I was wrong...especially when I have another 7 games that say I was right.
Go take a look at Manu's or Nocioni's stats in their roockie seasons and youŽll find out that the sucked most of their roockie year until they got some playing time. Same with Herrmann.
It takes a while for Argies to get used to the NBA speed and rules,and also it takes some time for the coaches to start trusting them too.
With Scola is a deferent deal,coze the Rockets are short handed at the PF spot,so he got some minutes early in the season,and it's working out pretty good for him and his teammates to get to know eachother.
Also,I have some bad news for you wottt, the guy wont be a bust,as you predicted.
And I told you these way before Scola got traded to the Rockets.
You might know about US players,but when I comes to International players,You defenetly have a long way to go.
Manu was injured at the start of his rookie season, and then he got injured again. Oberto barely got off the bench.
No...it's a different deal with Scola because he is highly regarded and plays for a good team...that would like a scoring PF.It takes a while for Argies to get used to the NBA speed and rules,and also it takes some time for the coaches to start trusting them too.

All you gotta do is a forum search on my name and type in the names Oberto and Sarunas...then tell me I don't know what I am talking about.

So far I am batting about 1000.
Ever hear of Gordan Giricek? That's who Scola is...
He might be as good as Oberto...might, that's if he overachieves.
At best...he'll be a guy that can hurt you if you forget about him.
Who can't play any position other than PF...
Not worth all the hype...and the Spurs have no shortage of those types of players.
If he's lucky he'll wind up the fourth best Arige in the NBA.
what about Nocioni and Herrmann????
Actually that's a good thing,if you can pull it off in a good team(wich has GOOD players)that defenetly sais that you're a good player too.No...it's a different deal with Scola because he is highly regarded and plays for a good team...that would like a scoring PF.
Well,that average will go down with your Scola's predictionsSo far I am batting about 1000.
Scola is Scola,plain and simple.Ever hear of Gordan Giricek? That's who Scola is...
mmmmmm,lets seeHe might be as good as Oberto...might, that's if he overachieves.
The way he is improving on the boards,+ his mid range jumper off the pick and roll,make him a good all around interior player.
So I would say,a better version of Fabricio
well,being a role player,He'll always be wide open to hit his mid range jumper,when Yao or T-mac get doubled.At best...he'll be a guy that can hurt you if you forget about him.
I give you that one.Who can't play any position other than PF...
But a very effective PF.
Yeah,right.....Not worth all the hype...and the Spurs have no shortage of those types of players.
Matt Bonner.
Ok, I get it.
What about them? Link to me saying they were going to suck? I wanted Nocioni.
Actually that's a good thing,if you can pull it off in a good team(wich has GOOD players)that defenetly sais that you're a good player too.
It also says he's not going to get the ball much...and since the thing he does is score....
No...what it is is ironic...
Well,that average will go down with your Scola's predictions
Scola is Scola,plain and simple.
As the 2002 season began the Spurs had 2 shooting guards from Europe they could bring over...
One was named Manu Ginobili...and the other was named Gordan Giricek..
The Spurs traded Gordan Giricek...and much like now...the board was full of alarmists claiming the Spurs made some horrible mistake...
I however was not one of them, for I knew they had kept the right one.
Now? after Giricek was traded 4 or 5 times and has settled into the role of a bench player who is often at odds with his coach...
You never hear those people that complained and predicted disaster for the Spurs trading Giricek...
You never hear a word from them...much like you never hear a word from those proclaiming Sarunas would be a star.
I instantly proclaimed Manu a star and future AS after seeing him in the 2002 WC...and I wanted Oberto too.
mmmmmm,lets see
The way he is improving on the boards,+ his mid range jumper off the pick and roll,make him a good all around interior player.
So I would say,a better version of Fabricio
You would say that if you think PPG and scoring is the most important thing in the world...and for the Spurs, it's not. They have plenty of scorers....what they need is someone who can support those guys while they are scoring, something Scola really doesn't do.
And when does do it? He's not going to do it as well as Oberto does it...
He's a scorer, and he's not going to be as good of a scorer in the NBA...
Yeah,right.....
Matt Bonner.
Ok, I get it.
I figure Matt Bonner's about right...I'll give Scola that he probably isn't as much of a choker as Bonner is...
But the Spurs kept Bonner because he can hit threes....and that's something Scola can't do. If they need a guy to make smart scores off Duncan/Parker/Manu doubles...they have a ton of those.
Just so you know...when Duncan was injured Rasho would put up about 15 and 9...how's he doing now?
And he's more an NBA talent than Scola is...
The one criticism that can be made at the Spurs which is accurate...and it's actually one I don't hear made very often...
The Spurs probably could have gotten more for Scola in trade if they had signed him and featured him in training camp and early in the season...
Sure RC. That would've been a neat trick.
