Top foreign players expected to excel in the NBA (Part 6)
Now coming towards the end of the list of those foreign players who are surely to excel in the upcoming few seasons at NBA, we have just two top players remaining. They are most likely to be the stand out performers for their teams.
The second position on the list is occupied by Memphis' big man, Marc Gasol. Although, reports suggest that he was able to make the big leap last season when he managed to come up with 14.6 points per game while 9.3 rebounds per game but experts believe
that this was just the first step towards his big leap that is expected in the next few seasons. This talented player came up with good healthy amount of minutes last season.
It is also a widely held belief that Marc is no doubt one of the big players but there are still areas in his game where he needs to improve. With more experience forthcoming for him in the next season, he will surely develop into an even better player.
This would help the Memphis team to go further this season.
Marc needs experience at this time on which he is steadily gaining and with time he would have that too. When that time comes he would probably be one of the best and polished players in the NBA. Though, this player has some problems when it comes to the
defense, but with time these will also be removed from his game.
Meanwhile, the top spot in the list is occupied by none other than Luis Scola. This player is 30 years old, but you must be wondering how he was able to make his way into the list. Despite the fact that Scola has managed to remain a key element in the Houston
Rockets for several years now, he outperformed all the others in the FIBA Championships with 27.8 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game.
The Rockets with the departure of some of their key players are looking to Scola to deliver and they now depend heavily on him. Although, last season wasn't much productive for this player but it did reflect the talent and skills that he has. The Rockets
will need this player to play at the top of his game so that they stay in contention for the Western Conference and even the NBA Finals. They will need Scola to come up with such performances that leap him into the All-Star team for the Rockets to succeed.
Experts say that with the new role that has been given to him, Scole is surely to excel.
