Height: 6’11”
Weight: 240lbs
Accolades:
Italian Cadets
National Team, Italian Junior National Team, Italian Under-20 National
Team.
Scouting Report:
A unique package of size and perimeter skills.
Strengths:
Outside shooting
– Bargnani has range well out past the 3 point arc and has the height
and length to get his shot off over the defender. Also is a terrific
passer. Plays well within a pick and roll offense. Experienced –
despite only being 20 years old, Bargnani has already been a pro player
in Italy for 4 seasons, including the last 3 in Treviso who along with
the Italian league also compete in the world’s second best league
(behind the NBA) – the Euroleague. Strong defender down low – adjusts
shots due to his length and is a decent rebounder. Can face the basket
and take big men off the dribble.
Weaknesses:
Will have to get
stronger to play in the NBA – he isn’t skinny but could use some more
muscle. Must get adjusted to the North American game and culture. Not
used to playing against the rare size and skill that NBA big men
possess. Probably isn’t quick enough right now to cover NBA wing
players. Needs to get stronger in the post.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range: Top
5 pick.
Consensus:
Bargnani is a
very skilled and experienced prospect. While the Dirk Nowitzki
comparisons probably aren’t fair right now, he does possess many of the
same skills and the same great size. Should be able to contribute to an
NBA squad immediately and in a few years could become an all-star.
