The Toronto Raptors need Andres Bargnani to muscle up a little bit in 2011-12

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, General, Positional Previews by alleyoop on Tuesday 29 November 2011 at 3:38 pm

26-year old Andres Bargnani is a good offensive center. He played in 66 games (all starts) for the Raptors last year and he averaged 35.7 minutes, 21.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Bargnani has now played in 367 games (260 starts) in his first 5 years in the NBA and he is averaging 30.2 minutes, 15.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Bargnani has shot 37.1% from three point range so far in his career, but the Raptors would likely be better served if he played a little closer to the basket to help with the rebounding. 23-year old Solomon Alabi might get more of a chance to play this year. He played in 12 games (0 starts) for the Raptors last year and he averaged 4.9 minutes, 0.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. The Raptors drafted 19-year old Jonas Valanciunas in the first round of the NBA Draft last June, but he has to spend one more year overseas before arriving with the Raptors in 2012-13.
