Highlights from Bargnani playing for the Toronto Raptors (NBA), New York Knicks (NBA) and his international team, Italy. All clips are trademark of the National Basketball Association and FIBA
Yeah but not many men his size are as athletic and well balanced as him. He can slam it in the basket or hit a 20+ ft 3 point shot. Plus they had Chris Bosh, T.J. Ford, and Jermaine O' Neal for a while.
@@blaineturner829 for a bust, he wouldnt be a clutch player wether in a bad or good team, think about it, personally i would have took him 5th in the draft, and taking him 5th would not be a bust for a player like AB
@Dave Wake i know his defense was poor but on One on Ones, he was pretty good but overall he was a clutch player and fun to see him play for moments, but inconsistent but it doesnt mean he was a bad player, on the contrary, i wouldve picked him 5th in that draft
A good, not great, center. Had a good impact, was a decent pro who had some nice moments (mostly for the Raptors) and put up solid numbers before injuries took him out. A little soft but still effective when put in a position to succeed. Certainly many worse number 1 picks in NBA history. Not a bust, not a steal. Hope he saves his money and enjoys his retirement.
in his draft he should've went somewhere like to the 5th overall pick, he wasn't overrated or underrated, he was rated just fine, let's put it that way, overall he was a good player without being a star, like I would have him in my bench whether my team is bad or great
@@kawhileopard2174 the problem is that he had an all star talent but he didnt put work in and if he was born ten years later he would be a top 5 center rn because he was a bigman that could shoot well
Im italian so a lil bit biased. talented guy, could shoot from outside, big. I think his biggest problems were the many injuries and perhaps he wasn't the toughest player ever seen, but i always liked Andrea, smart chap too.
Long time raptors fan so I pretty much watched him from his rookie year up until he got traded. Clearly had all the skills and offensive tools. Could shoot the ball from anywhere and drive which was a rare skillset at the time, wasn't a bad passer. Not that much different than Gallo except Gallo was slightly better at these skills minus the height. Unfortunately he was just too soft as a player and a poor defender/rebounder. And clearly not a first or even second option that he played through most of his tenure as a Raptor. You saw a lot of his efficiency dip down when he started to take more shots and play more minutes in which he wasn't suited for. Also I think he could have been much more successful if he was a bit younger and got drafted later, say 2009-2010 and put in more of a position to succeed. Because this era is a lot about spacing and if paired with a good point guard Bargnani would get plenty of open looks as well as space to take defenders off the bounce and drive. He didn't exactly play with very good teams either. Being the #1 draft pick set the expectations way too high for him and Raptors tried to groom him into a star. However he was more suited to be a role player, average maybe around 25-28 minutes a game, get you 16-18 points on good efficiency with most of his looks coming from the three. He likely wouldn't have gotten injured and had a longer career if he wasn't playing up to 35 minutes a game and just spotting up from three. He was a very frustrating player to watch sometimes because he was clearly skilled and talented, but could never quite put it all together.
he was decent at first. he was obviously was ruining teams tho. raptors couldnt win with him. he got injured they went on a huge hotstreak. he got traded to a playoff team. raptors made the playoff every year since he was traded. the playoff team he was traded to took the place of the raptors on the bottom
Can't stand when people say he was a bust , he shouldn't have been number 1 sure but you don't average 21.4 points per game if you're a bust
About36GREEKS on a shitty raptors team, taking all the shots, 21.4 ppg is like 10ppg on a good team. He was a BUST

Super sottovalutato, orgoglio italiano per sempre
if he was in the todays NBA hed be a bonafide all star
frank kaminsky is the andrea bargnani of modern era
lol how the fuck would that happen 😂
@@jordicorvus1168 no...
Shooting guard stuck in a power forwards body lol
+Gabriel Lai Anthony Davis?
Bargani is a better shooter than Davis
I'm aware. haha
Y’all mean dirk nowitzki
pstash78 AD is to short for a big men

I don't believe he was a center to begin with considering that Bosh plays power forward.
@@rapgodreloaded9259 maybe boss at Center and him as a strech forward
@@supersayantv1195 Bosh at center should've been the solution.
sucks that injuries slowed him down, come to the mavs!
What I would give to get a Bosh/Bargnani duo in todays NBA. Those two would be DOMINANT in todays league.
lol nope

His biggest problem was that he played in the wrong era…… the only negative thing you hear about him was how he settled for jump shots
yeah my most favorite shooting
center of all time love playing him
on 2k
I knew it! This is EXACTLY who Jabari Smith plays like 😅
Un grande giocatore che viene da una grande nazione....vai Andrea sei il numero uno!!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Unfortunately for Bargnani, he was a lazy bastard. But a guy that made KG look like an amateur can't be a bust :)
He was a beast
leggenda mago

Great analysis
Amazing! I subbed
If only Raptors Drafted Lamarcus Aldridge 🙄 what could of been....Bosh at Center and Aldridge at PF....or vice versa.
🐐🐐🐐
name of the song?
Welcome to the Brooklyn Nets!!!
Too bad they got rid of him :(
Noah DeJesus wouldn't matter since we gave the picks away:(
Porzingis 0.5
Luka doncic is the andrea bargnani 2.0
Do not compare Luka Doncic to fucking bargnani lmao, Luka's averaging nearly a 30 point triple double his second year in the league
luka doncic’s rookie year was better than lebron’s rookie year lol da fuq u talkin about
say that again
FIRST ROUND BUST LMAO !!!!
Eureka Opium not his fault
he was decent at first.
he was obviously was ruining teams tho. raptors couldnt win with him. he got injured they went on a huge hotstreak. he got traded to a playoff team.
raptors made the playoff every year since he was traded. the playoff team he was traded to took the place of the raptors on the bottom
you can use the counter argument, he took the Raptors from the bottom and brought them to the playoffs while a rookie.
scrub
omgyouareugly
Hello Fellow Haters 7 footer that never averaged more than 5 rebounds, never played defence, and u call that a great player.
21.4 ppg and you call scrub, no words black hole.
He was good for 30 points a game
