<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> AS VEGAS — While most of Argentina's big-name players passed on playing in the Olympic qualifying tournament, countryman Luis Scola decided to come. He is also finally coming to the NBA next season as a member of the Houston Rockets. The 6-9, 250-pound Scola, 27, is a rugged defender, a reliable rebounder and a good ballhandler and can be a proven scorer — all skills that should fit perfectly with new Rockets coach Rick Adelman's up-tempo style. Going into Wednesday's game against Brazil, Scola was averaging 17.0 points, 11th best in the tournament, and was seventh overall in rebounding at 7.3 a game. Scola, a two-time Spanish League MVP, has been one of the top players in the world outside of the NBA. </div> link
