Luis Scola started the season as a pleasant surprise for the Raptors. By year's end, he had become something of a liability on the floor but remained a strong locker-room presence.
When the Toronto Raptors inked veteran power forward Luis Scola to a contract last off-season, they expected to be getting a backup to Patrick Patterson.
After Patterson inspired little confidence offensively in the preseason, Scola was anointed the team's starter and ran with the gig. In addition to the post-up game he had made his living on for his whole career, Scola showed off a proficient new weapon - the three-point shot.
