I thought we were talking about instant impact...I didnt know we were going to switch to age difference...

and this is just a stat sheet..it looks a lot better then what we actually had to watch...

Those are actually really, really respectable stats...especially for a sophmore...don't get me started about rookie though...

It's obvious you don't know Bargnani, apart that short clip... the thing is: Dirk is a big man with SG skills while Andrea is a SG with big man size... do you know the difference?

The Andrea's 1st step is unmatched in NBA for any 7-footers... and Dirk is mechanical at running the floor while Andrea is more fluid and coordinated.

I know Dirk is way better than Andrea now (7 years between the two) but to say Nowitzki is "a helluva lot faster than Bargnani" is simply UNFAIR...

About their midrange game, you can't sentence that after a short highlight... wait to see some NBA games by Bargnani!

I have never seen Bargnani play but from the clips I saw he looked slow and Dirk looked a helluva lot faster.

Dirk's running isn't really mechanical more like chaotic but has a beat. Like Manu ginobili slashing it's not fluid but it works well.

I would need to see Andrea shoot while being bothered to know if he's a good scorer.

Well not quite, I mean he has the shot but i don't really see him as the next Dirk. I'd probably compare him to an Andre Kirilinko [spell check] but with more shot.
