Closest comparator player to Andrea Bargnani

[Avenger]

^ that's funny, the portland board has a thread comparing Aldridge to Robinson. I'm not trying to start another 06 draft debate, just thought it was interesting

I understand the argument that Bargs is most similar to Dirk in terms of skillset, but i don't think people realize how amazing Dirk has been in years past. Even currently in a down year Dirk is ridiculously better than Bargs. Production wise Bargs is sadly most like Radmanovic. At least he's improving. However I'm sick of talking about him.

as of now, bargnani is an inconsistent mehmet okur

Which is what Detroit thought Okur was when they gave up on him. I doubt they ever pictured him being the starting centre on a top level team.

Hopefully Pau Gasol, as Bargs is turning ino more of a center all the time. Can't believe au wasn't an option.

Gasol doesn't hang around outside the arc, Barg would have to do a 180 to be a similar player.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned and I'm not going to read 11 pages to find out but he reminds me most of Rasheed Wallace without the mean streak ... his man defense has improved to a point where on many nights he's our best defender ... he can post when needed and can hit a timely long bomb . the difference in the names mentioned in the pole is that none of them are the defender that Bargnani has become ... I'm not saying he's winning defender of the year, just that none of the ones mentioned are either and that's why I think he's closer Rasheed than anyone ... now if he can buy the mean streak then we have something.
