AsTheBlazersTurn

Long time lurker on this forum,first time poster.

I have been reading up on this Andrea Bargnani guy on the internet and i must say from the short video clips that i have seen of him online. I must say that i'm rather impressed with him in the clip that i watched for being so young at only age 20 years old. Sure the clip was short.

But he had a quick first step to the basket and drive to the hole. He seems to me to have excellent and great timing when he goes up for blocks and rebounds. With some good training and lifting some weights in the weight room to gain some more muscle and strength he could be a real good fit for the blazers next year. That of course is if we get a good draft spot right around the #First to #Third pick range. Which is not guaranteed.

What i personally think we need for this upcoming draft this year is a power forward or center. If the blazers make some shifts around to the team and it's players next summer. Then i think drafting a power forward or center would be a good fit to have. We need big bodys and help rebounding the ball alot the blazers are either dead last or next to dead last in rebounding in the nba out of all the teams.

And i read on nbadraft.com last night about Andrea Bargnani and it said on his information part that he's also a hard worker and very coachable. And Nate Mcmillan loves guys that work there butts off and that he can coach and that will really listen and put the time in to what he is saying.


My question to either italianBBlover or Fork or Toxicity. Do you think Andrea Bargnani is at all some what similar to Arvydas Sabonis?
