Stick to swinging the ball on the perimeter, a few high-low feeds (which he can do pretty well) and maybe learn to bounce pass to a slasher, but you can't ask much more than that for now. He will probably never be a drive and dish kinda guy.


Yes, he needs to get more experience and understand more plays in order to be a Point Center.

Perhaps, we asked for too much, it would be great to have all those court-vision, but I think his priority is help defense, rebounding and ball handling. After that, as he gains more experience, he can improve his kickout, passing and court-vision.

Jesus Christ, Bargnani is averaging almost 3 turnovers a game at 2.8. Second most to Amare in terms of PF/C.

took him five years to get to where he's at now, and you want him to revert back to where he was when he came into the league and improve his ball handling at the same time?

I see Bargnani really rounding out as a player come his 15th year in the league. Then CHAMPIONSHIP TIME!

I think everyone would love to see Bargnani play the way Shaq does.

That proves we don't have another scorer to play with Bargnani?

Wonder how many bad games its going to take this board to turn on Godnani again... Lets just enjoy his play and let his game do the talking.

Could Noah have any problem just dribbling without watching the ball?

I'm sure he can dribble okay on his own. It's when there is an opposing guard trying to turn him over that problems arise.

I don't know if you've been playing NBA2k for this long, but there used to be this really annoying glitch where if you created a player, the coach would ALWAYS sub him in at Point Guard, regardless of what position you assigned them. I remember I had to create Yao Ming in 2K3 (he hadn't officially signed with Houston until after the final rosters were set) and the Rockets would always bring him in to replace Francis. It was awful. It was like that for years.

Sorry to get off-topic (not like this one had much going for it anyway :laugh:)

No, I can be as big an Andrea homer as the next guy but this just going too far. He hasn't shown ability passing wise apart from some flashy passes every now and then.
