I don't even care what his total PPG is as long as he can be even somewhat efficient on offense and show some competence on D and the boards. Those are INCREDIBLY low standards for a 1st overall pick going into his 3rd season but that's the reality here.

I say that because Bargnani managed to only average 24 minutes per game behind Bosh (36 mpg) and Rasho (21 mpg). Now it'll be Bosh once again but I highly doubt Jermaine O'Neal will be playing anything less that 30 minutes per game. Bargnani certainly isn't a better option at SF than either Moon or Kapono either so there will be a lot less minutes available to him.
