YES
Javtokas>Scola IMO...at least as a potential NBA player.
BS.
BS what? I'm not saying Scola sucks...but I don't see him being as good as Malik, Javtokas looks like he has the potential to be a much better defender than Rasho...he's definitely quicker and more athletic than Rasho.
Javtokas is already a better interior defender/rebounder than anyone on our squad not named Tim.
I agree, dude jumps out of the building and is VERY tenacious on D.
Id try to package Scola and draft picks up and get someone else, like a future swing man.
Scola is not that impressive.
Jatokas has nothing more to gain being over in Europe, bring him over now, put him as the 12th man on the roster, and play him whenever, and let him practice against Duncan.
IMO, bring the Son of a over.
dude the last spot is saved for the mailman
I actually want him over mailman now though
Dunno...watching the way Scola and Manu play together...I wouldn't mind having that hook up on the Spurs.
Scola needs to learn to be more consistent though.
He will have a good game and then a horrible game.
I wouldnt mind seeing him get a real shot to make the Spurs though. The chemistry between him and Manu is sick.
Scola should have his chance next year. I still think he'd have to make huge adjustments to be effective at all in the NBA. But if he didn't have that huge buyout, he would be having his chance this year.
I'm wondering if the Spurs are considering bringing Javtokas this year -- or if he is destined to stay over there another season. The Spurs have enough bigs on the roster right now. But bringing him over to sit on IR and practice against NBA talent seems logical.
agreed on Javtokas.
25 and 11 in the gold medal game is not impressive?Scola is not that impressive
You must have been too busy watching Tim go off for six points and four fouls in the bronze medal game.
Scola's got great fundamentals, and it dawned on me watching the US team buying pump fake after pump fake - he's gonna be good in the NBA too, he's got the art of the pump fake/body language necessary to bait people.
On Javtokas, bring him over NOW. The guy is ready, he's got great hops. Anyone who can stuff TD and Marion back to back can play for the Spurs anytime as far as I'm concerned.
Javtokas is good and has an NBA style game. Notice how Lithuania didn't play him versus the smaller Euro comp, but played him a lot versus the US.
This is no mistake.
I agree with the aggie on this one.
Yes
Not while they're saving a frontrow seat for Malone.I'm wondering if the Spurs are considering bringing Javtokas this year
I am just wondering if they are still saving Malone's spot. In the latest from Chad Ford, he said Malone is picking between LA and Miami.
give javotkas a motorcycle
I don't think they'll stop saving that seat until Malone tells them he's def. going to either city.
If you are a regular in this Forum and/or you watched him the game today, you know the answer Tommy Boy.
He did a nice job on Duncan and defending the lane. Several blocks. He did a real nice job on Yao Ming earlier in the Olympic tourney. He's a strong kid. He clearly showed his ability to run the high screen & roll. He's not an outside threat but he still knows how to use his size, crash the boards and his fouls. Spurs need more physicality and Robertas can deal it.
Pop, RC and Danny would be crazy not to try to sign him now. As far as I know, he doesn't have a buy-out. He's recently signed up with Interperformances Agency, so if the Spurs don't get him in soon, he'll surely sign a nice multi-year deal with Rytas or some A League team and that'll be it on him for a while.
Javtokas plays with an at ude as well...just think, he is a pretty decent defender even with Donny Nelson being an assistant coach on that team...can you imagine what Pop'll be able to do with him?
Javtokas may not be a dominant big but he will destroy the myth that all Euro bigs are soft.
Just the way he has resurrected his career after the horrible crash has impressed me. The dude is as tough as nails. He plays like it too. Physical and fearless. He has Manu's at ude to basketball.
I just know this guy will work his butt off to get into the rotation. He is an NBA player getting wasted in the soft Euroleague. Get 'im 'ere !
Aggie,
Scola had a good game, and I give him props for that.
But compared to Javtokas, Javtokas is the better fit.
IMO, if Scola could prove he would be more consistent, and rebound better, then I would consider shipping out Malik Rose, and bring over both Scola and Javtokas.
Till then Scola, hes not coming this year, next year, Id be 100% for it, what the heck.
But if you get a good offer for him, you do it.
A lottery pick, or maybe a solid proven player.
Either way, the Spurs are looking good picking Javtokas and Scola.
Scola just led his team to a Gold Medal over the USA and Italy.
All Ya'll should STFU. You don't know about nothing.
If you have a Spurs Hedo jersey in your closet, you should not post in a basketball forum.
Scola can definitely play in the NBA. He's not a star but he is a solid role player. He gets to loose balls. He knows how to box out. He hustles and bangs and is tough-minded.
As I've said before...Luis Scola has as much game or more than Eduardo Najera and is an over-achiever, tweener type like Malik Rose. He can be a nice role player for the Spurs and he would be succesful on most NBA teams.
It's true that Argentina fed him some nice passes, but when he sat...Argentina did not do very well. Luis just out-worked, out-positioned and out-scored some of the best players in the world the past 2 weeks.
