Pretty much a toss-up between the former #1 overall pick and the former #2 overall pick.  Both teams should hope for better from these guys next season if they are going to fulfill their promise.

Bargnani was a foreign rook!  Unlike MW, whose Tendex PER decreased, Bargnani's will increase at least a couple of points indicating not only improvement but a transition overseas and to the pros.  It's certainly more difficult to move and play overseas as a 21 yo NBA rook than than it is a homegrown 2nd yr NBA 20 yr old.  If he's better already, Bargnani should stay better.

??  Why should a foreign player be worse than a younger homegrown player?  

I agree MW's static PER number was ugly but look behind the numbers and you find John Hollinger identified Marvin as one of the most improved players in the league because his PER jumped way up the second half of the season once he was healthy.

(Did anyone really expect Yao Ming to struggle compared to Drew Gooden when they were one year apart and Gooden was one year younger and homegrown?)

There is no legitimate basis to think that Barngani's year as a 21 year old was "great" if you think Marvin was a disappointment, IMO.

Their numbers are very comparable.  One is younger, the other foreign.  Boo hoo for both of them.  Both need to step it up this next season if they want to be stars and there is good reason to think that both will (Marvin's improved PER the second half of the season & Bargnani's similarly improved PER over the course of the season).

I didn't realize you were Chinese, which you should take as a compliment.

I think Yi is very fast and athletic for his size but he has a long way to go in terms of strength/skill development before he becomes a star in the NBA, if he ever does.

Dumb English is that they know how to say（read） it,but they just can't bring themselves to the point where they can express themselves in English.
So let it be.
Anyway Yi is picked by Bucks,though he almost being picked by Atlanta .
and he got a 36 above leaping ability, it is true.
38?I dont know.

I wrote off Yi a long time ago. BTW, he was their 3rd leading scorer and struggled on defense against a 19 and under US team.

He is not strong enough to play in the league right now. If he can't get more than 8 shots off against a bunch of 18 and 19 year old kids he is in trouble. The number 6 pick in the draft should have done a lot more against that competition. Thats what lottery picks do against comp like that.

The CBA is like the Patriot League. It is so inferior it isn't even in the ballpark. The fact is that if this kid was 6'9 he wouldnt even have been drafted because his strength and skill level is not even close. The fact that he is 7'1 makes him interesting. Problem is his skill level is not where it needs to be. He is 248 pounds and is just weak. He will be the recipient of a lot of facials this year and I'm relieved that they won't be for us.

It's like saying, when you know Dream Team I was blowing Yugoslavia out when Diesel got in the game and put up 13 points. Are you saying that just because Jordan is on the bench that the team isn't as good? Diesel puts up 13 against Malone instead of Charles Barkley and it makes a big difference?

Seano remembers when Diesel did that. Seano thought that was fricken AWESOME!  /forums/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif

GSUteke, you're already contagious yourself.  Whatever you accuse me of doing you've done in spades.  Try a mirror.  "This poster is on ignore".  LOL  How "adult" of you.
