<div class="inline-mug"> I read the POY article on ESPN Insider and thought it might bring up some good discussion.</p> ----------------</p> 2. <font color="#000000">Luis Scola</font>, F, Houston Rockets </p> </div> </p> Scola might be the most fortunate rookie in terms of how his talents fit with his team's style of play. Argentinean players typically are masters at moving without the ball, using excellent timing, space and pace to create easy baskets with minimal dribbling. Coach Rick Adelman's offense encourages players to do exactly that, and Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are good passers.</p> </p> Scola might have been Europe's best player last season, he's 27 years old, and he is highly motivated to play well after being frustrated by San Antonio's reluctance to bring him over.</p> </p> As a probable starting power forward for a team poised for a title run, he has the best chance of beating Durant at the wire, assuming the voters will treat him as a rookie.</p> ------------</p>
What does POY stand for?</p> Scola has no chance to win the ROY, because he's not going to get enough minutes or touches on offense. Historically, that's what you need to be seriously considered.</p>
I Agree. I don't see Scola can win ROY. He's just not an offensive powerhouse. He is a good role player or complimentary player. He'll be great for us but not ROY material</p>
Your mistake makes me less entitled to post...just kidding.</p> He could make a run for it, for sure. I think he will be up there with Horford, Durant and Law.</p>
