Carl Landry: For those Who Didn't Watch the Game

I'm thinking that Greg Oden guy. I mean, I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a MUCH improved product on the court! I practically didn't even hear his name last season!

 

I don't see what you guys are talking about.

He has always had a very nice midrange jumper. We cannot tell if it is improved until we get into the season and get some real numbers.

But really he didn;t get much of a shot last year so those numbers cannot really be fully trusted.


For the OP though:

HE is in midseason/playoff form. Landry came ready to go.

 

Greg Oden hasn't played a game in the NBA yet to be called a most improved player.

 

I think he was trying to be sarcastic,in which he failed,because he did not use a " ".

 

"Today, Scola is still putting that skill and savvy to good use. And it's not just for his benefit, either. Young big men like Carl Landry realize there's much to be learned by playing with someone who possesses such a wide range of low post skills.

"I’m learning from him every day and hopefully I can take the things I’m learning from him and apply it to my game and become a great player in this league someday," says Landry. "He’s really crafty under the hoop. He’s not going to go over you and dunk on you, but he knows how to use his body, he’s got great footwork and he knows how to score around the basket. I feel like if I can apply Luis’s moves and be crafty around the basket, with my athleticism, that could be very interesting one day."

My intake..footwork and moves (Scola) + athleticism and power (Landry) = a 6'9 monster who could dominate the low post at will. Hmm...maybe I'm dreaming

 

no yao?? how do you start scola over yao at the 5 spot?

 

in a word, he is well worth the contract morey matched.
