This is way in the future and it's true Scola didn't play a minute in the NBA yet. Well, none of the other rookies did either. Scola has been in best pro league outside of NBA for 5 years, has played in major comp and has an Olympic Gold to his credit. He is playing for a team in need of his services and he will play and may start. Is it that far fetch to think he is better then Kevin Durant or Oden? Both had a year in college ball? Who else is going to be playing major min for their team? Also, he is likely playing for a very good team and if he produce and the Rockets are wining, is there any reason why he wouldn't be in the running for Rookie of the Year? (This is his 1st year in the NBA). Does it matter that he was drafted in 2002?
