That pass!
“They said his upside and potential were off the charts…Out of all the athletes we’ve profiled, we’ve never seen anything like this.” Bryan Colangelo
Although the Raptors are without a draft pick this offseason and probably won’t see one as busy as last years, they’ve still got a lot to look forward to and one of those things is Andrea Bargnani or “Il Mago” as he’s often called in Italy. I have to admit, I was on the draft Tyrus Thomas/Rudy Gay bandwagon… something about a 3-pt shooting big man did not rub well on me. After this season, Raptor fans got to see a big man with a silky smooth jumper and a ton of potential. He’s shown he’s got the right tools to succeed in this league; namely a high basketball IQ and the ability take criticism to improve his game. Not to mention his Caliper tests which were apparently off the charts as the man himself, Bryan Colangelo, mentions. It’s gonna be a long summer but at least next season is one to look forward to and one of those reasons is Andrea Bargnani.
“I can tell you right now: He will be one of the top eight or ten centers in NBA history.” Dr. Greenberg, president and CEO of Caliper, psychological assessment firm.
I see you’ve read my interview with Dr. Greenberg on Hoops Addict. Thanks for mentioning it in your new blog!
I just started blogging… you’re my first comment ever and interesting how you were able to find it. Raptor fans are excited and you’ve definitely got them talking

No problem.
I found your blog via Google Search for the title of my post – just curious as to who has mentioned it so far. It was my first interview and I’m very proud of the results.
