LAS VEGAS -- The Brooklyn Nets added some veteran leadership to the mix Tuesday, reaching a one-year contract agreement with forward Luis Scola, a source confirmed.Ive known Luis since my days with the Rockets, and hes not going to talk a whole heck of a lot but hes going to lead with his work ethic and how he gets after it, Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. I like how Luis has started to spread the floor, and hes just the ultimate competitor, the ultimate warrior. Hes 36, but hes been healthy his whole career because of how well he prepares and how well he takes care of himself. Were excited about having him.Scola started 76 games for the Toronto Raptors last season, averaging 8.7 points and shooting 40.4 percent from 3-point range. But he struggled in the playoffs, averaging just 2.5 points on 19 percent shooting from beyond the arc as he moved in and out of the rotation.The rebuilding Nets have added Scola, Jeremy Lin, Trevor Booker, Justin Hamilton and Greivis Vasquez this offseason, although Portland and Miami matched their offer sheets to restricted free agents Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson.Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks Plan B seems to be adding players on short contracts to maintain salary-cap flexibility moving forward.Scola is the oldest player on Brooklyns roster by seven years. Vasquez is 29.The agreement was earlier reported by The Vertical.Scola figures to battle for the starting power forward spot with Trevor Booker, who signed a two-year, $18 million deal with Brooklyn.I think were going to let it play out, Atkinson said. I know those guys wouldnt want it any other way. I think theyre two competitors, they understand the NBA and theyre going to battle it out and compete for the spot.Booker, who briefly watched the Nets summer league game on Tuesday, explained why he chose Brooklyn.It was a great opportunity for me, Booker said. With Sean coming in place, theyve got Jeremy Lin, Brook Lopez down low, I thought it was a great opportunity for me. Sean came from the Spurs organization, which is the top organization in the NBA, and Ive known him for a little while now and I know hes a very smart guy and I believe in the direction that hes going to take the organization.Asked about potentially starting, Booker responded, Its not going to be given to me. Im going to go in with the mindset that I want it, so well see.Booker, 28, said he plans to bring hard work and leadership to the Nets.Thats whats kept me in the league so far, and I look to bring the same thing here, he said. Atkinson said hed like second-year pro Chris McCullough to push the veteran power forwards as well. He likes the diversity and skill sets at the positions. Cheap Air Max 200 Uk .

PHILADELPHIA -- Villanovas senior class is on the verge of an incredible record.Josh Hart, Darryl Reynolds and Kris Jenkins have never dropped a Big 5 game since joining the Wildcats and theyll have a chance to go undefeated when they host Temple Tuesday night at 7 p.m. EST at The Pavilion.No. 1-ranked Villanova improved to 3-0 in the Big 5 this season with a hard-fought 89-79 win over La Salle last Tuesday at the Palestra. Then the Wildcats stayed perfect on the season overall (10-0) with a 74-66 victory over No. 23 Notre Dame on Saturday in Newark, N.J.Villanova is also going for its 18th straight Big 5 victory.Its unbelievable to think about, Villanova head coach Jay Wright told the Philadelphia Daily News. I dont want to think about it because its monumental. It really is.Hart is coming off a memorable game with a career-best 37 points to go along with 11 rebounds and four assists in the eight-point win over the Fighting Irish.I was just out there playing, Hart told reporters. In a game like that we were battling, battling, battling, to the end. Fatigue wasnt a factor.The Wildcats came back from an 11-point deficit in the inaugural Never Forget Tribute Classic honoring the families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.That was just a great college basketball game, Wright told reporters. Were really proud to be a part of the cause. It was a great atmosphere with what felt like a Villanova crowd. Notre Dame is so tough to play against. I think Mike (Brey) is one of the best coaches in the country. Theyre an underrrated defensive team.ddddddddddddTemple elevated its record to 7-3 with a 74-65 victory over DePaul Saturday at the Hoophall Miami Invitational.The Owls will enter Tuesdays game on the Main Line also at 3-0 in the Big 5, adding to the intrigue.Temple led DePaul by as many as 25 points in the second half before holding on for the victory.I thought we made a couple of foolish mistakes on both ends, and a team is going to take advantage of that, Temple head coach Fran Dunphy told the Philadelphia Inquirer. We got tight, they were playing loose, and as a result the lead got cut.Obi Enechionyia and Shizz Alston Jr. scored 15 points each while Quinton Rose added 12 points. Enechionyia and Alston also had seven rebounds apiece.Temple received a lift from Josh Brown as he had 11 points and five assists in his first start of the year. Brown was named Hoophall Miami Invitational Most Valuable Player.And he also contributed a career-high seven steals, the most for a Temple player since Will Cummings at SMU on Feb. 19, 2015.It was just the fourth game for Brown in his return from an Achilles tendon injury in the offseason.Well see how he feels like tomorrow (Sunday), lets see how he feels in one day, and obviously Tuesday for the Villanova game, Dunphy told the Inquirer about Browns status. He deserves that opportunity to be in the lineup. Now I just have got to manage his minutes as best as possible. ' ' '
