Who would you choose? I made this topic because of a similar debate between a mavs fan and some spurs and rockets fans, and obviously the Mavs fan said Bass>Scola and vice versa. What do you think?

Right now, Scola. He is more polished, has a ton of experience in international ball. And bass is undersized. He is younger, so he will improve. But Scola is better now, and he plays the role playing power forward very nicely.
at this point in their careers it's not even a debate.
Scola.
gimme Scola.
his midrange shot, the nice footwork in the paint, and a decent defender.
scola for sure but i'd still love to have bass on my team
Uh Scola. LOL at Brandon Bass
brandon bass by a longshot
[QUOTE=L.Kizzle]Uh Scola. LOL at Brandon Bass[/QUOTE]
Brandon Bass has lot of potential. If he can improve like last year he will be better than Scola...in a few years :D
Scola is better now obviously, and seems to have a good grasp on the team concept and what is required of him.
But, Bass has shown glimpses and produced when given the time. I think he can become a solid if unspectacular starter if given the opportunity.
Also, I wanna say Bass is like 24 and Scola is 29 or 30 (I could be wrong on both of those, I'm not positive), so it's entirely possible that Bass ends up being the better player eventually.
Scola by a mile.
Shouldn't be asked, Scola.
Scola is a beast
This thread is funny.....you can make a case that Bass isn't even as good as Houston's backup PF. I'll take a healthy Carl Landry over him as well. :roll:

Bass is way better than Landry.

Uh...no he's not.

As a mavs fan you can say you think he's better and there wouldn't be any problem with that statement.
But to say "he's WAY better" is just wrong.
Bass...
in 19.7 min.......8.3 ppg and 4.4 rpg on .499 fg%
Landry...
in 16.9 min.......8.1 ppg and 4.9 rpg on .616 fg%
Then you take into account that Landry was just a rookie and is the better athlete.

Bass played 79 games, Landry 42.
Bass is also a better shot blocker.
Lock at the playoff statistics:
Landry 5.7 ppg / 4.7 rpg in 17.7 mpg.
Bass 11.6 ppg / 6.8 rpg in 26.6 mpg.
Bss would be a very solid starter.

Landry was a 2nd round rookie that had to play his way into the rotation.......guess how many games he's going to play next season :violin:
[QUOTE=Silverbullit]Bass is also a better shot blocker.[/QUOTE]
Eww....by a whole .4 blks per game :bowdown: what a drastic statistical difference

That was a limping Landry who still wasn't his pre injury self and just like Bass, Landry would also be a VERY solid starter in this league.....his emergence was a huge reason why Houston was able to survive in the front court and continue their streak without Yao.
This is what a healthy Landry does...

Bass and Landry is a better comparison than Bass and Scola right now at least
scola > bass > landry
Landry is a better scorer then bass. conversley bass is a better defender and shot blocker.
TM&L... you got any hobbies apart from defending your precious Houston boys against posters who just plain and simple have a different opinion of them?
Scola > Bass, by the way. But I'd take Bass over Landry in a heartbeat.
As a Purdue fan, I gotta say it's great to see Carl Landry getting love.
But Bass is nowhere near Scola right now, as has been said. And I agree Bass vs. Landry's a much more accurate comparison. I'm honestly not too sure who I'd take, almost a push, but probably Bass. The question is, why did Bass barely see the floor for the Hornets?
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]As a Purdue fan, I gotta say it's great to see Carl Landry getting love.[/QUOTE]
Well.. you could put current Wayman Tisdale on the Rockets and TM&L would tell you he's better than Greg Oden. This guy should really be a Lakers fan.

Also true.
As of now Scola is the better then bass. In the long run with Bass developing over the years excluding any injuries I'd take Bass. Thats just my opinion though.
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]The question is, why did Bass barely see the floor for the Hornets?[/QUOTE]
According to Scott he was more interested in scoring and didn't rebound nor played defense. Avery didn't care and just wanted an athletic "big" who could score so he scooped him up immediately although we've seen a few flashes of what he could do defensively if he put more effort into that area like in Atlanta or the NO series.
I think he's a better scorer than Landry - he could actually knock down 15/18 foot jump shots with regularity and put the ball in the floor and create. Landry is the better defender (only because he's more consistent) and rebounder. But I like Bass's upside better; he has the tools of a McDyess starter kit.

You mean a post-injury McDyess right?
Bass isn't better than scola and landry
Scola is better than Bass, no doubt, but Bass is better than Landry.
Scola and Bass is not even a question.
Bass/Landry I would take Landry. They're both young and have a lot of potential; but Landry has proven to play big as a rookie. A 2nd round rookie btw who struggled to make the team and exceled when was given the chance to play.
Brandon Bass does not got the skillset that Luis Scola got, so we have to give that one to Luis Scola, but also remeber he is 5years older then Bass. Landry vs. Bass is even. Landry is smaller then bass and is also 2years older. He is not as athetich as Bass either. The problem with Bass is that he does not got a back to the basket game. He is either Shooting from the midrange or dunking it. In one game he owned Duncan. Scored 16points on him. Mostly jumpshoots becaus Duncan dared him to take them.
Luis>Bass>Landry
Scola > Landry > Bass
Scola > Landry > Bass for me as well ..
Scola > Landry > Dorsey > Bass
[QUOTE=CAYO]Scola > Landry > Dorsey > Bass[/QUOTE]
lol rocket fan.
Scola is better than Bass but Bass just turned 23 and Scola is pushing 30.

Uh.. wrong, Saying Landry is a better player than Bass, isn't a stretch of the imagination.....because he made a bigger impact and was a hellava lot more effective/efficient. As far as me attacking somebody with a different opinion...
[QUOTE=TMac&Luther]As a mavs fan you can say you think he's better and there wouldn't be any problem with that statement.[/QUOTE]
What the f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck does that mean.....can you read genius?
Plus while your're trying to run your s[COLOR="Black"]hi[/COLOR]t out there.......please list all of the rediculous arguments that I have made about Rockets players. Go ahead and list them. If you're going to call somebody out, you better back your s[COLOR="Black"]hi[/COLOR]t up......it's not like I've been on here comparing Rafer Alston to Chris Pual or some sh[COLOR="Black"]it[/COLOR].
The arguments I have made for Rockets players.
#1. Yao when healthy is the best center in the NBA........what's so homerish about that statement pal, there's plenty of posters on this board that will agree with it.
#2. Shane Battier was robbed of his 1st team defender award last year and it was obvious he has more than past Bruce Bowen as a defender........again, plenty of people on this site will agree with that statement. Bowen has fallen off some, he's no longer the elite wing defender in this league.
and now
#3 that Carl Landry is better than Brandon Bass......when you pull up their stats, it's pretty clear that it's not a outrageous argument to make and it isn't anywhere near the "Laker fan level" of starting Bynum > Howard threads.
