Landry or Scola to start at power forward...why? 

Post#1 » by Baller 24 » Mon Sep 22, 2008 3:08 am

This is of course if we sign Landry, who do you guys prefer to start at power forward? Landry or Scola?

Why?

Landry brings some athleticism needed next to Yao, does a pretty good job of pulling down rebounds, as he did what 8 points and 5 rebounds in 16 mins? Yao often gets doubled in the high post, and with Landry's skills and athleticism down low while using his great footwork, he can do some pretty good damage, and he has a pretty good mid range jump shot. Just something to think about, he is also a intimidating force as he can give you block shots, steals with the size he has.

So who do guys prefer and why?

scola should start since hes our tallest pf and has shown hes a capable starter last season which was his first season. shouldnt be surprised if he bulks up and improves his game, which is expected and needed if the rox wanna contend.

landry is too daam short, but if hes better than scola next season then we should start him. which also can happpen but he also is 6'7 and i dont think pple should be comfortable w/ a 6'7 pf starting on our team which is in the western conference.

if we dont reisgn landry then i think dorsey will be our next option. and everyones sayin hes nba ready, prolly is after playing 4 years in college. avg 9rbs/2blk/1stl. 6'9 but like 260 lbs. im thinkin this guys gonna do good hings for us.

Scola because he is the better player.

I want to see Landry continue to develop his mid range shot , and work on someballhandling for a faceup game.

I'd prefer Landry's energy, hustle and finishing ability off the bench, he really thrived in that role last season serving as the spark plug.

It has to be Scola. Landry is our energy guy off the bench, and is best suited as our backup 4. Scola played fairly well as the starter last season. Our team really took off when he was named our starter.

Scola, brings u everything u cant see. Hustle, passion and makes the game smooth. Also will bring u 20 minutes or 40 minutes if needed. Landry brings the same thing but hes more of a spark plug

scola starts since he's the most polished player. we need landry's energy off the bench.

Both are inconsistent, but Landry gets rattled way too fast.

He's the most inconsistent of the two, if you have to decide on that. On top of that, Landry's defense is arguably the worst on our team, and that cannot be apart of our starting lineup.

Luis did a great job starting next to Yao. No need to change that.

I think our prompt signing of Landry answers the question.

If he was really a starting calibur PF in the league he would have been offered a contract sooner than yesterday.

Plus Scola's got a bronze Medal
