I never followed him after he left the raptors, but I was just curious as to how he played last season for you guys.

He was good in the first part of the season, and knocked down some timely jumpers, but he quickly became a nonfactor and only saw a few minutes due to foul trouble to Foster and Murphy and of course, Hibbert.

Yeah I remember those days lol. He's definitely not starting caliber anymore but I think his situation in Toronto is perfect for him, maybe 12 mins a game.

Somewhat serviceable sounds pretty fair, but maybe a little generous.

Pretty decent 3rd center for us as the season went on.

he did sort of play his way out of the rotation. whether he stopped caring or just didn't fit the style that evolved over the year is hard to say. seemed like a nice guy and my friend in Toronto always thought he'd come back. maybe he'll be happier there and it'll reflect in his play.

The phrase that comes most readily to mind is, "Washed up."
I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

I think his overall year was good. In the first half of the season he had more PT and did a pretty good, job, after that O´brien decided to increase Hibbert minutes, so Rasho fell off the rotation.
He will be a solid bench player for toronto, maybe 20 mins a game. I like his court vision..

20 minutes a night is probably a stretch.


On average, more likely to be around 7-15 minutes a night, with maybe some bursts of 20 minutes a night over a week or a month.

As long as Bargnani is healthy and out of foul trouble I can't see anymore than 10-12 mins a game for him.

He was dreadful. Gave no effort. All he did all year was shoot that line drive mid range jumper. He looked lost most of the time too, often holding the ball for 10 seconds only to chuck up a contested shot. Not to mention, he was the slowest guy on the team, and, that's saying a lot.

He was pretty forgettable. Looked pretty good early, but as season wore on, he wore down....and Hibbert basically took all of his minutes.

The guy was pretty much a ghost after the first 25 games. Slow and a brick machine.

I'm glad you guys got him though, it seems like you guys like him and will support him.

Overpaid. Who the hell gave him that contract?

i'm not a pacer fan. i'm a toronto fan. but i was paying attention to indiana enough. as said, he played well early & seemed to drop off, for a multitude of reasons.

but he did have a couple 12, 10, 9, 8, 7 rebound games to start the season, aswell as a nice performance with 6pts, 9 rebounds & 8 assists vs. orlando for Indy. included in the season were a 21 pt game, three 16pt games & three 14pt games.

At the beginning of the season, I loved him. He was shooting that line drove shot of his well, he was passing well, and doing some good things. After the first third of the season though...man, he went to hell fast. I echo the sentiments of some of the earlier posts--I think he's about out of gas for the NBA.
