This is true but every now and then there will be good Euro players too and Andrea is pretty much the best thing coming from Europe for a while now and I have no doubts he will be a good NBA player at least and with luck and hard work, a star.
And Skita didn't get much playing time in Benetton so it's like comparing Rudy Gay to some NCAA scrub because they happen to play in the same division and make conclusions based on that. Skita was a result of bad scouting and Eurohype. Darko can still turn things around and I believe he will.

Splitter is playing for Tau Ceramica, in the Euroleague, and putting up stats not quite as good as Bargnani. Add in the fact that he's 1 year older and why would the thought of picking him even cross your mind?

Well just a reminder Skita's last team before Denver was Benetton too

Yes, and in fact he was playing something like 2-4 mpg ... while Andrea plays 20-30 mpg and often in the "hot" minutes and not garbage-time ...
Sorry guys, but all these comparisons "Bargnani = Skita" can't simply exist ...

Yes, like the great Alphonso Ford (rip)
On the right playing system and with good minutes Charles could be a very good SG in NBA, just look his 7 ppg with the Spurs 4-5 years ago.

Re: Bargnani does it again...
Damn...
9 points and 2 steals in the first 8 minutes of play for Andrea. He hasn't missed a shot either.
And Benetton leads after the first quarter.

Yeah, that's a stat I wish the NBA tracked. Free throws is an okay indicator, but knowing how many fouls a guy draws is really key.
14 pts in 12 minutes now. 3 steals, 1 rebound, 1 block and 1 turnover.
