Scal has everything one would want in a color man. He's extremely knowledgeable about basketball, and more importantly, today's NBA. His explanation of defensive schemes and breakdowns are spot on, and the most relevant commentary I've heard from any color guy anywhere.
Scal is also friendly and conversational, without making it sound forced. I have a feeling that CSNNE will spend this year grooming him and then give him the road game role that the annoying Donnie Marshall has filled in the past.
