Scolandry - the epitome of efficiency and productivity at Power Forward

Yeah, they have been playing very well this season till now. Each night, atleast one of them step up.

 

Consistency would be nice especially from Scola, but make no mistake about it: i'm happy to have all of our guys at PF.

 

I see what you're getting at, but for this to be accurate, you have to consider the production of those other PF's primary back ups.

 

Exactly.

And the fact remains that each of them has glaring weaknesses, which is why you have to group 2 or 3 players into one. Scola is slow-footed, unathletic, poor at defense. Hayes is undersized and offensively inept.

Landry has a chance to be the best of the bunch because his biggest weakness is lack of experience. He is still making unnecessary mistakes out there (bad fouls, forgetting to box out) but those things can be corrected. Being unathletic (Scola) and an offensive black hole (Hayes) can't.

The fact that you have to compare multiple players (Scolandrayes) to individual, more complete PFs is telling.

 

Dude, do you always have to be so negative?

Good thread.

To the OP, some people get it and agree with you.

And BrooksBall, Mr. "Playoffs? No way" should never talk down to other posters, especially not for starting a positive thread.

It's true that one would have to take the primary PF backups' performances into account to make this accurate, but I don't think that scientific accuracy was the goal of this thread.

The main point stands: We are getting good to very good production out of the PF rotation. Same is true for C, SF and SG.

The only position with sub-par performance is quite obvious...and it's not because of the backup.

 

Maybe he does. . .
Maybe he the RANDY QUAID Character from Major League series

I thought Scolandry was one player and Chuck Hayes was his back up?

 

Scola, Landry or Hayes a complete PF? No way!

And there was something positive in the very post you criticized. I spoke positively about Landry, who in my opinion, has the best chance of being a complete player.

Read carefully next time and you won't be as disappointed in your cheerleader-like expectations of other posters.

 

VERY WELL PUT!!

 

Look at his game log instead of season averages. His scoring and rebounding is all over the place.

I love Scola but consistency is hopefully something he'll acquire once he's in the league longer.

 

Our power forward's name is actually Chuck Scolandry.

 

I think Scola could even be better. The problem is that Scola is great on the block and he is also great at running the floor. When you have Tracy, Yao, and Artest, there's no reason to have Scola on the block. Other than Rafer and Brooks, Scola loves to run on the fast break. This team doesn't run at all.


I don't know how many summer games you guys have seen but Scola can ball. He just doesn't get to use his strengths all the time. But he does have a hard time guarding fast PF's. He can guard players that post up but if they face basket and drive, Scola just gets abused.

Landry is only going to get better. He needs to commit on defense. He's still has a high upside to him.

 

The biggest improvement is PF since JVG's era. If JVG was still the coach, with Ron here, i think Rox Would be a great team, Into NBA finals is just a sure thing

 

As long as it ends up better than the other teams, doesnt matter to me if you break down the PF into 7 people. (Of course you can't play ball like that, just saying). I'm sure teams would love their shooting guard unit to average close to the same numbers as Kobe and D Wade regardless how they have to do it.

On the Scollandry numbers, if its adding up players averages it might not be too too accurate. For instance
-Scola plays 48 minutes and scores 30 points, Landry never comes in.
-Next day Landry plays 48 minutes scoring 30 points, Scola never comes in.
=Added their averages and its 60 points a game.

That rarely happens but numbers can be skewed like that. Sucks but would have to add the total season points and rebounds of the PFs together and divide it by games played for a more accurate measure.

 

It's a breath of fresh air compared to the Clarence Wetherspoon/Juwan Howard duo.
