Luis Scola Can Flat Out Ball

Luis Scola Luis Scola was quite a hot commodity in the later rounds of last year’s fantasy hoops drafts.  After a roller coaster season that saw several 20-point nights followed up by single-digit disasters, Scola showed the world once and for all that Rick Adelman simply needs to run a few plays through his power forward (with center-eligibility, mind you).

In the Olympic game versus the United States, Scola lit up the scorers table with 28 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and two blocks.  And while the Olympics makes players like Carlos Delfino look like All-Stars, remember that this was against an American team that featured Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh down low. 

Sure, the addition of Ron Artest will not help matters much, but if the Rockets plan on flourishing in the crowded West, the road to success may be through a guy who averaged under 25 minutes per game last season.

Jarrett JackOne week down, many more to go.  The first week of the NBA season, though short, gives NBA fans as well as fantasy owners an idea of what coaches have in mind for their rotations.  We see which players are actually going to receive some burn, while others were simply preseason mirage with a side dish of hype.  As you may see from my last installment, I’d say I hit about .500, falling into the hype trap on a few – but hitting for solid contact on others.  And, if I may add, I’m quite a fan of Yahoo! using entire player names within their database.  Too many Jones’, if you ask me.  Plus, it just looks better.  Anyways, with a week down, this week’s WTW will allow us a slightly larger sample size.  Of course, there are others that may have been worth the mention, but given the circumstances, I felt these were the twelve worth the word.  Enjoy.
