I bet you would have said the same about Turkoglu had you only known him as a Raptor.
No. The bball IQ between Turk and Bargnani isn't even close. Try to picture Bargnani playing in the finals last year and you can easily see how a player like that would get exposed so badly that you couldn't afford to have him on the court.
If the Celtics had Bargnani available in game 7 of the finals replacing the injured Perkins there's no doubt in my mind that they would have had a better chance to win. Even though they'd still have to beat 100 free throws in the 4th, offensively they struggled to score and defensively it's another 7 footer to throw at Gasol.
I also fail to see how the Magic would have been worse with Bargnani instead of Lewis in 2009.
