DrGonzo 321 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi guys I just read an article about the FIBA Americas tournament and this paragraph caught my attention: Houston Rockets player Luis Scola was the standout for the host nation with 19 points and 14 rebounds. He was 5 of 6 from 3-point range http://espn.go.com/olympics/basketball/sto...mpic-qualifying Now, I know Scola is not a 3 point shooter in the NBA. Is his role different with Argentina? Was this a fluke? Or is he a guy to watch next season, whenever that is? if he can add a 3 point shot to his arsenal he could turn out to be a very solid fantasy player.

silianrail 189 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I was just looking for an update on Scola. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
hailfire4 413 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Isn't the international 3 point line a lot closer? I think it is even closer than the college line? In any event Scola has to play closer to the basket to get rebounds now that yao is finally gone. Link to post Share on other sites
DrGonzo 321 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 That's a good point about the 3 point line which i hadn't even thought about. Still, Scola isn't known as much of an outside shooter even though he has a decent mid-range jumper. Link to post Share on other sites
Code of Hammurabi 4,375 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yao hasnt played for 2 years. Scola should have adjusted by now Isn't the international 3 point line a lot closer? I think it is even closer than the college line? In any event Scola has to play closer to the basket to get rebounds now that yao is finally gone. Link to post Share on other sites
hailfire4 413 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 True Yao has not played or been a factor in 2 years. But the Rockets have been preparing for him to return so the team has been waiting for him to someday resume his role. Now that he finally officially retired the Rockets can move on.

Travis_Fryman#17 136 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Everyone nailed it. And, they have consistently extended the international 3-point line. It's comparable to NBA now I believe. For whatever that's worth. Don't draft him for 3's obviously. But yeah, a bonus would be a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
