Gasol's a much better passer/facilitator and that's a lot of instinct - hard to develop. JV can definitely become Gasol-lite at the least. Gasol came to the NBA as a 24 year old rookie and JV won't be 24 until one season from now. Think he'll be as good as Gasol-the-rookie after another year of development?
I keep telling people that we have a potential Pseudo-#1 guy on our hands in JV if we would just give him the damn PT. Give him the 30-35mpg that Gasol got, give him some time to get comfortable with his mid-range game (which he can hit but is just not comfortable shooting yet) and we will have a lethal offensive weapon on our hands. He's every bit as mobile as Gasol and almost as long and bulky, there's no reason why he can't grow into an elite defender/rim protector like Gasol became.
He'll never have the passing game that Gasol has, but in terms of scoring he can be right there with him (and possibly more efficient), and he can be better than him on the glass and just as good defensively. The kid is currently being neutered. Sometimes guys emerge as stars when given the opportunity, look at Paul George, Jimmy Butler... or an extreme example... Harden.
The kid has some insane talent, let him use it dammit! The Spurs were willing to part with prime Tony Parker for this dude for Pete's sake.Last edited by JWash; Tue Jul 21, 2015, 06:04 PM.

4 seasons, average roughly 7 mins/game. Roughly: 1.2 ppg, 0.5 reb, 0.6 assists. 35% shooting.

Rebounding doesnt happen in a vacuum. Scola rebounded well against opposing 4s, when a center like Hibbert or Mahinmi were playing the 5. He won't rebound well against the opposing teams 4 and 5, since Patterson damn sure isn't going to box out.

And if you think you're going to force a team to adjust to small ball lineups that include Scola at the 5, you've got another thing coming. He provides nothing that would stop a guy like Howard, Bogut, Gasol, Duncan, JV, from being on the floor.

And Scola is probably gonna have to box out 2+ guys at once because Patterson is allergic to rebounding."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed
