I like Bargnani, but he's not close to Nowitzki yet. His rebounding and defense has ways to go. Dirk is not a great defender, but he often plays respectable defense, and is a solid rebounder. He's also a CLUTCH player, with so many game-winning and big-time shots under his belt. Bargnani will make it, he'll become a great player in his own right. I'm really excited for him, the same way I am Dirk. They are 2 special 7-footers!
Look at how stupid everybody seems now.First of all,he was fucking 17 here lol.He's already better than Okur and give him 1 more year when Bosh leaves which will most likely happen and he'll be a 25 pt scorer.
@DonCesar93 io sono di treviso, abbonato da una vita, ti assicuro che il Bargnani del 2006 non si è piu visto. non guardare solo le statistiche. all'epoca era piu cattivo, piu spavaldo, piu tutto. ma ora si sta riprendendo. la cura pianigiani gli ha fatto bene
that' s why is not a center... is a power forward... he play as a center because raptors didn' t have one this year... he can be a small forward too (as in this video)...

that was so sad how they didnt take roy but got bargnani i mean bargnani is ok but hes sucking even more . breandon roy is awsome im a raptor fan and i got so mad when roy schooled the raptors in the last quarter. roy is going to be very big soon.
bargnani is going to be traded.toronto sign jake voskuhl or whateverrr...by the way,that's the best thing for andrea;he will never had a chance to become a solid player with a player like bosh in his team.Bargnani'natural position is the 4 just like dirk.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Andrea is a bust. And hes not that young, its his 3rd season and he hasnt developed. Instead he fucking sucks even more. He can't hit those 3s and he has no ups. He's trying to have a post game but he has no clue on how to back down someone. I know I'm going to get like 100 negative because of you Italian people but oh well its the truth. Andrea is a bust trade him. Also trade parker.
Really? Have his seen his stats? He's had two years to develop. How much of a learning curve are you giving him? Four years? Ten years? It's not as though he hasn't had a chance to demonstrate something beyond mediocrity. Dirk put up 17 points and pulled down six and a half rebounds per game in his second season. Bargnani put up eleven points and pulled down less t!)han four rebounds per game last year. Talk to me when he gets at least 5 rebounds or 15 points a game.
ahhh your gay .... so what if dirk had 17 ppg on that shitty ass 98-99 mavericks team second to behind michael finley and 6 plus boards? of course he gonna get that much boards wen dennis rodman is there to help him out you fuggin douch.. nd look at bargnani he clearly is more athletic then dirk nd has a better stroke
Wait that Dallas team was shitty? First of all he's been good every year since his second year and second the fucking Raptors suck (except Chris Bosh). He is clearly more athletic?? Then why the fuck can't he score or rebound? What the fuck is his excuse? Less than four rebounds a game for a center and he's somehow athletic? In what world? He will suck this year, and the year after, get traded and fade into obscurity. An incredible waste of a #1 pick. Could have had Rush or Aldridge.
adrea bargnani aint no center if they played him at the 5 spot he would get more boards but they play him at the the 3 nd come on look at bargnani's stroke nd look at dirks
,dirk looks like he struggles to jump or something that slugish mofo
fucking slow ass, fucking 7 footer that shoots threes and doesnt make shit. hes stats are going down, how da hell can u compare him to dirk. in a few years raptors will trade him like a bust he is. imma raptors fan by the way
So let's see who would I rather have on my team: an otherwise mediocre player who has a few sporadic breakout games or Dirk freakin' Nowitzki? Yeah, gee that's a tough one. On one hand there's a guy who is averaging 25 pts and 9 boards a game, but on the other hand there's a guy who has scored a combined 13 pts in the last three games. Wait, wait, that second guy also has a 'nicer stroke.' I forget, in basketball does the team with the most points win or the team that has the nicer stroke?
dude bargnani avr 17 pts 8 rbd as a starter this season ok! n dirk had way more minutes than bargnani had! n in 98 basketball was different! its like saying all players suck because wilt had crazy avregaes!
I'll agree with you that Bargnani is starting to look better this season (it remains to see if his good streak will last). But the rest of your statement makes absolutely no sense. Basketball was different in 98? Yes, Dirk was good because there were just no good big men in '98 like Shaq, Mutumbo, Duncan, Mourning, Malone, Pippen, Robinson, Olajuwon, Garnett. Stick with Bargnani is doing better this year, that actually made sense. I still say the Raptors would have been better off with Roy.
Well, never mind. I spoke too soon. The second I give Bargnani credit for starting to turn his game around, he goes and starts sucking again. I am starting to think Bargnani has Boris Diaw syndrome. Every now and then he'll have a solid few games and he'll almost make you think he's reaching a new level when...it suddenly passes.
Aldridge can't learn three point shoot,while Bargnani can learn low post moves. This is the difference mate,this is why Bargnani is better than Lamarcus.Boy.
@umbertosavi Curious, who do you think has the advantage now 2 years later? LA has really developed that smooth mid range jumper, Andrea has improved his inside game
andrea is a centre n able to play 3 position. he will be in da starting line up next week with improvements in rebounding. the sky is da limit for him. his shooting touch is amazingly quick n with his ball handling improving ... damn watch out
u went on this to complain about how i type the ? u seriously need a life lol ... bigsausagepizza4me you feel all proud now ? u think im going to go on every youtube video n complain about how people type THE lol
do you even know what illiterate means ? people that don't know how to write. ok ... i wrote "da" because I was lazy when i wrote da instead of "the" but ... ohhh damn you didn't use capital when you wrote "I". WOW ! ohhh fuck sausage boy I guess your illiterate as well. Honesty you dumb fuck , mind your own fucking business. go eat another pizza fatass
Ha ha, you're hilarious dude. You are still illiterate. don't you know the difference between your and you're? After reading that rant with weak insults and contridicting facts, you made me feel that much dumber. I was just playin'.
good pick from the raptors! bargnani got an inside-outside game, so that can probably give chris bosh an easier time in the paint, and this kid got tremendous upside, hes gonna be a good pro
hahahah which fag said nubs hahaha man ur retarded cant u think of a better word. maybe u could have used idiot or stupid but noo they were fuked enuff for u hahah u freakn nub hahah and bargnani might play small forward but he was drafted as a back up to chris bosh for the power forward spot. u retard
r u fuckin stupid,, who the fuck drafts for a "back up" with a 1 overall pick, he was picked to be a superstar, no matter what position he plays.. n that he will be..
Personally I think this guy has some major talent and he's going to be great in upcoming years. No one should be expecting Bargnani to be a star in his first year in the NBA. Great pick in my opinion.
I agree with OGE Bargnani is playing with men, he's the the closest to being ready in this NBA draft. His position is not Centre, Colangelo picked up Nesterovic for that position, already knowing he was going to be picking Bargnari in the draft. Colangelo had obviously been scouting this guy for a long time, and wouldn't have picked him if he didn't believe he would be an asset to the team.
look whats happening in olympic basketball...the worlds catching up and the guy was playing with men in the euroleague not just other 20 year olds in the ncaa...he'll be alright, but the raptors got a bad year land the number one spot
this guy is gonna be a bust, the nba is so much different than the euroleague, its at a faster pace and this guys not strong enough to handle the other centers, he's gonna get crushed.
it's amazing how americans think they know it all...it will be hard to admit, but Bargnani is sick, and there are at least a couple more players from Italy who are gonna be drafted very high in the next few years..Belinelli and Gallinari...write them down, and wait to see them before you make a comment!
Colangelo traded fan favourite Matt Bonner, seldom-used Eric Williams, and a second-round pick in the 2009 draft, to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, in exchange for seven-foot centre Rasho Nesterovic and cash.
Nesterovic fills a gaping hole for the Raptors, who have been in need of a true centre to help out star forward Chris Bosh. The move also rids the roster of the disgruntled Williams and his contract.
This guy suppose to play center? think about it, the raps need a true center, not some lanky guy who can shoot the outside shot. Bosh needs help in the paint, and the raptors have addressed the need for better rebounding, thomas would be a better fit but i still dont see him going #1. Watch the raps trade their pick either in the next few days or on draft night and pick up a veteran player and someone like Saer Sene
the aldridge and thomas videos are really mediocre. raps aren't even interested in working out aldridge - they booked a flight to italy to watch bargnani instead. he goes at #1 to toronto.

He actually hindered his development, had barganani got a good amount of time in his first two seasons he would probably be a much better player now.
