    I think Scola is good and Landry is also good. They are among the top PF in NBA.

    If only He can play defense against taller power forwards like Gasol and Garnett then he would be an elite player.

    Those one-handed outlet passes were awesome, and always ridiculously accurate. What a lost art for big men in the NBA.

    OT was a very powerful player, good defender and great rebounder. But the guy had almost no offensive game. He had zero range outside of 1 foot. He was a great finisher on fast breaks, but how many guys do you know that could shoot a 5 foot jumpshot and hit nothing but backboard?

    One of the fondest memories for those of us who watched OT during his years with the team. He could always do it. I don't know how many easy buckets we got because of OT's ability to throw a basketball like it was nothing, and with pinpoint accuracy, but I know it had to be a lot.
