i dont trust him. He could be Dirk or a bust like Darko

I wouldn't call Darko a bust yet... it's still a wait and see with him. He should get starters' minutes next season, then we can gauge whether or not he's a bust.

[ZoomSlowik]

I think Bargnani's bust factor is a lot lower than Thomas'. If nothing else, Bargnani can shoot and he's 7 feet tall. Thomas doesn't really have any basketball skills at this point, and he's only 6'9". If he doesn't bulk up and develop some moves on offense, he's not all that useful.

SI's first mock draft has the Raptors taking the Italian over Aldridge and Thomas

Darko has really made progress since joining Orlando. In fact I think in a few years time Howard/Darko may be the most dominating low post tandem in the league.

Your talking a 7 foot SF who can shoot the perimeter. I doubt he will be a bust, most foreign players who have come into this league have done quite well except for Darko who hasnt really been given a solid chance. Bargnai is the best pick.

[sport1016]

If we have the opportunity to take aldridge we should. But i would DEFINATELY take bargnani over T2. Big Man Offense. We need it.

Well, at worst I'd say he could turn into a Hedo Turkoglu or Vladimir Radmanovic type player. Big guy that shoots well but doesn't do much else.

My only concern with Bargnani...12 minutes a game.

12 minutes?... is that what he averaged?...

TT is not 6'9 ..... hes 6'10 atleast.... ive seen Big baby and Tyrus next to each other and Tyrus is taller than him...

KC Johnson even said it himself.. he was at one of LSUs game and said Tyrus is 6'10 at least...

I see way more Radmonovic in him than I do Dirk. Dirk Has a passion for the game, it didnt seem to me from what I saw there and in some reports that bargnanni has a passion for the game. Therfore I would PASS on him!!

I wouldn't count on it. There are rumors that he's actually under 6'9". I'd also be very surprised if Davis is really 6'9", he looks a lot shorter. Shelden Williams is another guy listed at 6'9" that might be shorter, and it looked like he had about 2 inches on Davis.

i am guaranted that thomas will be a bust all he can do is dunk and block shots. God does that sound familiar. it is not just me either look.

Aldridge, a sophomore last season, he can finish around the basket and has a decent touch on his mid-range jumper. But he's thin and needs to add bulk to withstand inside play in the NBA.

Thomas, a redshirt freshman in 2005-06, is considered the best athlete in the draft. He has long arms and an exceptional vertical leap, but his offensive game is virtually nonexistent outside of dunks, and there's a question of whether he'll be a power forward or small forward in the NBA.

from tribune

looks like aldridge will not be as bad of a bust if he is.

[SoxFan1]

Yup.

I like Radmanovic, when the Bulls play Seattle his presence on the outside brings a low post defender to the perimeter which gives their center a better chance to take any player from any team head on instead of getting doubled. Most "good" teams seem to have a big man who can shoot outside.

For example:
Rasheed for Detroit
Antoine for Miami
Dirk for Dallas

[HardWorkin'H...]

Thomas Is A FREAK!!!

[sport1016]

Just watched the Youtube video of Bargnani............IMPRESSIVE

This is definately our guy, especially if aldridge is not available. He will have some adjustments defensively coming to the nba, but he is young and already has a very smooth look to his offensive moves. THAT CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED. He can definately become an inside-outside scoring machine like dirk and rasheed wallace. Even if he isn't QUITE as good as them, he will satisfy our needs for a big guy who can score.

On the video he showed a couple post up moves. Paired with defensive stoppers like chandler and pryzbilla, we could have a very lethal combo next year if we take bargnani and get a bulky FA.

For once I can agree with someone.

We also should not overlook are second pick, we can take a quality player there also. For example I think Temples guard Mardy Collins would be there and he is a tall defensive guard and UCLAs guard.

[Bullies4Life]

Yup.

He doesnt average 12 mins. Check again. More like 21 i believe... The guy also avg around 4 rbs or something, and had 9 ast in 18 games... I know many of u guys think that that sux, but getting assits in Europe is a lot harder than in the NBA.

I cant find the stats right now, but i will post them up when i find them.
