In NBA, or for Euro club, the expectation is much lower, and so his playing time is less, and so his production is less.
I suggest that he is as good as Scola, but is never given the chance to prove it unless he is on the national team. The confidence and expection bring out the best in him. Everywhere else, he is considered a backup, so that is all he ever produces.
Food for thought, no? How else do we explain his spectacular performance against top-flight international competition? [The same could be said for Freije.]
