When Andrea Bargnani was picked first overall there was not alot of doubt (at least in my mind) that he would be a very good player for the Raptors. His rookie year wasn't great but he show some signs of good play. This year he hasn't got any better. Despeit some big games he has actualy been WORSE statisticly.

So the question is, will Andrea Bargnani ever be what we all hoped he would be?

	Yes, he is a future All-Star
	He'll be decent but not great
	He is a huge bust

	I think in time Bargnani can become a very good player. His outside shooting is outstanding and his height gives him potential for a killer post game. He isn't very good now but in time he will be.

	He's just not built for being very good. He has the shoot of Novitzki but he can't move or open up his own shot like Novitzki can. He will be an average player in the NBA his whole career. Which for first over all is a total bust in my books. But still not as bad as Hofa Araujo before Dwayne Wade.

	"But still not as bad as Hofa Araujo before Dwayne Wade." what do you mean by that? are you trying to say araujo was picked before wade? because if you are you clearly have no idea what your talking about. not even the same draft class buddy.

	You are completely correct K-miller31. They weren't in the same draft class and even if they were Araujo was picked 8th and Wade was taken 4th. Also the guy's name is Rafael Araujo not "Hofa Araujo".

	Bargnani's in a sophomore slump this season, he'll pick it up and be a great player sooner than later. Just wait, down the stretch and into the playoffs he'll show everybody how he can step it up when it counts. That's why Colangelo liked him so much, in Italy Bargnani practically won Benetton the championship by himself ... as a teenager. Now, I know it's not the NBA, but the Italian league is pretty solid and Bargnani proved at a young age that he knows how to turn it up when the game's mean more. I'm betting he'll show up huge for the Raptors very soon.

	I wanna like Bargnani I really do but this guy has taken some of the stupidest shots i have ever seen. Sometimes I think he needs his nuts cut off......

	I like Bargnani (yes, even right now) but the Raptors just aren't the right fit for him. They need to move him somewhere else. Both Bargnani and Toronto would be better off. But in the right place Andrea Bargnani could be very good.

	Bargnani is a 7 footer who can't rebound and doesn't move very well....and his shot is streaky. We can talk about upside all day, but last season, today, and probably for the next 2-3 years Rudy Gay or Brendan Roy are superior ball players.
