the barg

Andrea Bargnani is a power forward of 7 ft 0 in and 250. He has drawn many comparisons to German NBA player Dirk Nowitzki, due to his impressive ability to shoot from the perimeter and the fact that he is a very talented and mobile European 7 footer. At 20 years old, he was drafted first overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo. Bargnani was the first European player, sixth non-American player, and second player without U.S. college or high school experience to be drafted first overall.

This season I think will be an up and down year for the Barg (what I like to call him). I think he will have amazing moments on offense and will show us all what he will be in five plus seasons, hopefully still in TO. I think he will get destroyed on defense by much stronger centers who know their way around the paint. I think the Barg will have to draw people out with the three ball and hope he is hitting them so he can drive to the hoop.

I think one day he will be a nightmare for other centers and will start to look like Dirk. I am almost certain he will be a star in the NBA and like I was saying, I hope it is in Toronto. Will he win rookie of the year? Highly unlikely but that is not what Toronto got him for. They want him winning titles with Bosh and everyone else in a few seasons. I think the Raps are going to suprise some people this year if Bosh stays healthy and can get some rest each game.
