Fantasy Analysis
Scola appeared in all 82 games as a rookie, starting 39 of those games after beating out Chuck Hayes for the starting power forward job. As a starting power forward, he averaged 13.0 points and 7.6 rebounds. He shot 53.4 percent from the field in those games. He did a lot of his damage this season while Yao Ming was out with an injury. But the Argentine rookie proved he can be a workhorse in the paint for the Rockets and will likely fit in well alongside Yao in 2008-09. He'll be able to be around 10 points per game on most nights due to the double teams Yao faces and will also see a good amount of loose rebounds, making him a worthy pick in the middle rounds as a No. 3 or 4 Fantasy forward.
