They do, and honestly that confuses me. It may be they know something we don't, but it may just be they think a young Tiago Splitter will be more satisfied with a limited role on a championship caliber team than a two time Spanish league MVP and gold medal winner. It's said that Scola is the second best player on team Argentina after Manu. If that's true, it's quite impressive as Andres Nocioni, Walter Hermann and Francisco Oberto are all on Team Argentina. What's more, all three of them had success in the NBA during their rookie campaigns. None of them were rookie of the year candidates, but they all were solid contributors to their respective teams. If Scola duplicates that success, the Rockets are going to be a very, very good team.
