the guy is just a massive negative. no matter what shots he hits you are going to be outscored if he is on the floor. he makes everyone around him worse on both ends
its amazing cause bargnani is a pretty good man to man defender but he struggles if a person shoots jumpers, attacks on dribble or help defense. harper was pretty bad on defense as well, but i wouldnt mind him seeing bargs play defense so far. i think bargs will probably be gone next season as willie reed and chris mccullough will take all his minutes anyway since bargs has a player option for 2nd year.
bargs being a good man defender is a myth... he really isnt. its a product of him being in a league where there are very few back to the basket scoring bigs. not to mention teams know how bad he is defensively if you put him in pick and roll or rotation situations and just abuse that
that's not a myth about bargs, there are times where a lot of players struggle nst him posting up and he holds his own. I'm not saying it happens often but ive seen where he defended Dwight, nowitzki, and luis scola tough.
