Will Carl Landry and Luis Scola, both 2nd round pick, become future All-stars?

No neither are all-stars but both are starter quality fior many teams already. They can both be 16-8 guys down the road but neither will be 20-10 players.

And Brad Miller was undrafted in 1998 or 99 he should be added he's been to all-star game twice i believe.

 

Star PFs are loaded in the West. So I doubt they will make it. But if they can develop to be one, I am all for it.

 

Not while Amare, Dirk and Duncan are still around.

 

They're an awsome duo at PF, but I don't they'll be all-stars. I also think it'll be hard to keep both of them for more than 3 years.

 

Interesting post to see how the second rounders have done. It looks like you have about a 20% chance of getting a useful player. I wonder what the percentage is in the first round. Of course 1-7 in the first round or second round is not the same as the whole round.

Maybe an efficient thing to do, if possible, is just buy a couple of second rounders every year until you hit paydirt. Isn't that sort of what we did last year with Landry?

 

I thin if they kept getting better, they will become an all star. Remembered
Shawn Marion. He was playing for awhile but became an all star a last few years.

 

Not if they are on the same team - not enough playing time. Thus, the Rox have a problem to address at some point.

 

It is a nice problem to have for sure.

 

I do not see PT a problem, we have 48x2 = 96 front court minutes for Yao, Scolar and Landry, every one average around 30 INTENSE minutes.

 

not sure since Scola is already 28 years old (older than Yao)... but who knows, I remember Sabonis played his rookie allstar game when he was 30

 

I remember how Boozer was drafted about the same spot as Landry a few years ago and look at him now. Landry reminds me of Boozer or a very athletic Scola.

I think Scola will be a very solid 15pt 7 rebound player that plays solid on both ends of the floor night in and night out...kind of like Battier.

I think Landry has a much higher ceiling and could be an all star some day.

 

Carl Landry reminds me alot of Antonio Mcdyess...

 

Pre injury........

 

don't think so, sorry. solid players, don't seem to have the potential to take it to all-star caliber play though

 

Antonio Mcdyess is putting up some pretty nice numbers lately.

 

maybe landry, but for Scola, with his no-frills plays, i doubt any fan would want him to be in the all-star, and he will be 3rd fiddle as long as yao and tmac are here, so his stats would not be that impressive.

 

The real issue will be finding a way to keep both of them on the team for the remainder of Yao's career. As they both continue to blossom, that is going to be very difficult.

 

He is, but he was a much more explosive player prior to his injury. His career pretty much has mirrored Chris Webber. Explosive player when they were young, but reduced to jump shooting big men after bad injuries.

 

Landry definitely has a higher ceiling. Scola is very skilled and crafty already and keeps getting better because he's adjusting to our system. Landry, on the other hand, seems to get by on athleticism, intensity and basketball IQ. If he can develop skills every year, like improving that outside shot, a few moves around the rim and better use of his fouls, I think there is a very good chance he could be at least a very solid starter for this team. His numbers are better than Boozer's rookie numbers on a per minute basis. We'll see. Shoudl be fun to watch too.
