Just reading Eric Koreen's article this afternoon titled "Andrea Bargnani happy as second banana" and was wondering whether or not Bargnani will ever be ready for the limelight if god forbid we lose Bosh this summer. Would you chalk it up to his inexperience (keep in mind he played pro in Europe before coming here so it shouldn't be an excuse) or do you think in order for Andrea to be successful on the court he needs to have someone else like Bosh be the primary option on offense?

In his first real chance to be the primary scorer for the Toronto Raptors, Andrea Bargnani was decidedly ordinary.
He certainly was not terrible - 16.3 points per game on 47% shooting over the six games Chris Bosh missed because of his ankle injury are both close to his yearly averages - but he did not exhibit the primacy a No. 1 option has to have, either.
"I'm sure it's a little different for him," Bosh, who will return Friday night against the Knicks, said on Thursday. " It takes time. It takes time to get used to things like that. It took me about two years."
"You probably know better than me," Bargnani said of the affect Bosh's absence had on him.
"It's great to have CB back of course. He is our first option offensively and it's great. It's going to be much more easier to play for me, too."
