Andre Bargnani's past month

[loot]

13 games.
.493 fg
.857 ft
2.3 3pts
14.3 pts/game
3.8 reb
1.1 ast
0.4 stl
0.5 blk
1.8 to


Obviously his rebounding needs work, but he has shown he knows how to, averaging over 6 for the last 5 games. He grabbed 11 rebounds a few games ago.

Also he's hit 27/53 3pt shots over his last 9. Or 27 of 55 over his last ten if you want to round it off. That's just over .500%. Very nice shooting. The 11 rebound game was a game where he only attempted 1 3pt shot, so it's all about how he's being used.

He also had a few stretches this season where he blocked quite a few shots ( even 6 in one game), so it seems he can do that too.

I must admit I havent seen him play a lot, but if I look at his numbers, Í can only say that he's turning out to be a very special player. What's the verdict so far?

Guy does need to learn to rebound. Give him an offseason with Charles Oakley, that should fix him.

[kwajo]

And if it doesn't fix his rebounding, Oak will probably cut his balls off and wear them as cufflinks - thus really "fixing" him.









Seriously though, love the idea Ced.

[RAPSCANWIN]

Yeah i can picture it now. Oak would need a translator for Bargs and Bargs translator would need a translator for Oak.

Remember how people assumed he was a bust after a month. You gotta give rookies some time.

Bars speaks English fluently, like most young western Europeans

Yes but does Oakley???

No, not like most young western Europeans. But he's not bad himself.

I think he's already getting better in the rebounding catagory...he just needs to learn not to shy away from the paint..

It'd also fix any effeminite tendencies Bargnani has.

[kwajo]

I'd worry that with Bargs spending all summer with Oak that he'd start to act even tougher than he already does. And given that he's italian, one can only assume this would lead to him getting a gelled/slicked back hair cut and walking around acting like he was Don Corleone.

[shok]

He can't collect rebounds if he's camping outside the 3-point line. But the kid is doing pretty good.

[DeuceWallaces]

3.8 RPG???? And he's 7'? Words can't describe how pathetic that is.

[i seen hippos]

Mehh, we'll take him.

You just enjoy Rasheed for another couple years before you have to rebuild.
