the raptors fucked up so fucking badly. i hate what they did with him. he should have just been a shooting guard or small forward. he was skinny here and much more versatile than he is now. instead they forced him to play a position he wasn't even suited for. he's better at shooting that being big, but what do they do? make him play centre. they even made him fat. bravo. raptors will continue to turn good players bad. actually, they just don't know how to use players. that's that.
this guy is good but he needs to work with his handles and defensive and offensive awareness.... he's blocking was good.. he doesnt even have to jump just to block a lay up... right now hes showing that he can slash and dunk it but still scared a lil bit to allstar players
wow thought he was just a garbage overrated..european..(except dirk peja etc...) wow i give him 3years den he be dirk status! no joke kid can shoot holy..
This guy is hitting 18, 20 pts a nite these days, rebounding, blocking shots...Raps will go all the way in 3 years...Bargniani MVP...T-dot rules...mark my words...
Meravigliose, Ilustre Andrea Bargnani! It's always nice to see fellow Italians excel in American sports. Perhaps one day an Italian NBA stud will come from Lombardia, home of my family.
that's gonna happen soon...remember this name: Danilo Gallinari, from Lodi. He's 3 years younger than Bargnani, and in his first year in the Italian top league he's got better stats than Bargnani's last year in Italy...
Lol... He is Italian hahaha... Anyways sweet vid, U wanna see him drive more tho with that quickness than standing at the top the the 3 point line. Kids gonna go thru some growing pains but he is gonna be good!
Just need to get stronger, get some more pounds and learn a few post moves (his teammate Bosh can help him with that). He got the potential to become one of the top European players on the NBA.
what what, that video is tuff, andrea is pretty sick, i saw him in the italian playoffs, i watch alot of raptors ball, dude is still goin through rookie trouble but damn yo, hes gonna be on of the smoothest 7 foot snipers ever, posibly better than derk
Anybody who says "let's see how he does against the stars" is talking sh*t. How many stars are there in a team? 5 players on the court and if you have 2 star players on average it means there are 3 positions you can exploit. and this kid can and will find holes.
don't hate. The guy is a 7-foot (legit) small forward who shoots threes and runs the court. He's no Dirk, as this guy seems to depend on mid to long range more than Dirk does and is slighter in frame.
I don't think think the dirk comparisons are valid. He's way skinnier and seems to move much more fluidly. His athleticism is ridiculous for a 7 footer.
he's 5 pounds heavier than dirk, and he'll probably gain a little. i agree that he looks more fluid though. his shot is amazing. sf/pf first year, but he'll be a true pf in his prime (if he learns a post game). he's got big legs and he can run. looks like he plays a little physical, his picks suck though. raps are gonna be real interesting next year.
pretty good looking stroke and even though i know its just a highlight tape, looks like he has some talent on defense. defense is all about will and hustle, and to me it looks like he has both.
i don't know if it's just me...but some of his shots in traffic look like 'oh crap...i'm getting double teamed... *shoots a circus shot*...*goes in*" If he can get a bit more jump on his mid range jumper he'd be unblockable...i think he'll be a good solid player still
