    Brand is washed up. I honestly think scola is better than jamison, brand, green, milsap and lewis at this point. KG... We'll see just how much he's regressed from age this year.

    So yeah, I think Scola is probably a top 10 PF at around 9 or 10.

    Green and Aldridge are not top 10 PF's IMO.

    Scola and Aldridge are equal.

    I will give you Green (I have a thing for bigs that can shoot 3s).

    Aldridge didn't do well against the Rockets in the playoffs, but he has the better numbers statistically, he is longer, more athletic, and has a more consistent jumper.

    Scola has a better post game, hustles, and will give you 100% effort every night. I guess it depends on which one you prefer.

    I Hate Bigs that shoot 3's, minimal post game and can't box out and grab boards. I expect a PF to grab at least 8-10 boards a game.

    Otis Thorpe is my Ideal Big.

    Poor Elton Brand. Dude fell off after the knee injury. He was a beast on the Clippers.

    Too bad he couldn't return to form.
