Maby you should actually think about something other than Burgerville before you post some completley unintelligent comparison like Andrea to Skita. Once again, Andrea is playing much better than anyone but Paul Gasol did at age 20. I would love to have Andrea on my team and he is the best player in this draft. There goes my totally unsubstanitated claim to counter your totally unsubstantiated comparison.

SolidGuy3

Andrea lacks the toughness in the paint. He has no competition in Europe and once he gets to the NBA, he wont have the toughness to be a PF or C. Darko and Tskitishvili were drafted high for a reason, because people thought they would be good, Andrea might flop like them and I think he will, HE IS SOFT.

A) You've probably never seen him play.

B) No competition in Europe? Are you joking? It's the 2nd best league on Earth, after the NBA. He goes up against guys 10+ years older than him every night and he's still kicking ***.

In 25 minutes per game? Yeah, he's like 2nd in the league in scoring per minute. He's kicking ***.

He is playing in a mans league, the 2nd best in the world with players that beat team USA. Take Rudy Gay, Aldridge or even St. Morrison and none would be putting up his numbers.

the same argument can be made that Bargani wouldn't be putting up those #'s in college, because he's not used to the system. Give those guys time to get used to the system, and they might.

Well, Andrea had a completley terrible game tonight. He didnt score in 13 minutes. I will be the first to admit he is not a complete palyer yet, but I will also be the first tosay that given time I think he will be the best palyer in this years draft, far and away. He is so gifted athletically, height wise and skill wise that failure seems very unlikley. He is also a very hard worker, and has the god given physical skills to overcome his shortcomings, especially consitering he only averaged 13 minutes last year(and put up 6ppg and 2.8 rpg in Italian league and 9mpg/6ppg/3.6rpg in Euroleague). Given time, Andrea will be a great player. I cant say that with confidence, but I certaintly can say it with as much confidence as anyone that declares Morrison a all-star from the get-go.

Has anyone actually declared Morrison an all star from the get go?

I'm fairly certain no one has even come close to saying that.
