well considering most of you don't actually watch raptor games, how can you judge andrea fairly? he still has yet to get in serious minutes over a longstretch of a season (considering the injury he suffered this year, and the surgery he had last year). i'm not saying he's ahead of guys like roy,aldridge, or gay. but to be fair, the raptors are a better team than the blazers or the grizzlies, and have star players who can carry the load. the raptorshaven't asked that of bargs yet
and to those who say he can't rebound or defend...watch a raptor game once in a while. you'll see that the potential is there. just because he's atall white dude doesn't mean he can't play defense. chikickz put it best, the offense is geared toward andreas strengths and once sam mitchell gets hishead out of his$%*%, and starts designing plays for bargs, the sky is the limit. he's quick off the dribble, and has the best range in the nba for a man ofhis size.
i really think that american fans have trouble assessing international talent because they just haven't seen enough. it's kind of similar to when yaocame out, everyone (and i mean EVERYONE) was laughing. i'm not saying bargs have that kind of impact on the game, but he certainly has the potential to,and that's what the raptors are hoping for
oh, and if you honestly think that you'd want stephon and that contract on your team over AP....then i can't really take anything you say seriouslyespecially about the raptors
