Call me crazy or what you will, but since the middle of December I've noticed a significant improvement in Bargnani's defence. Both in his help and man defence. So much that I barely notice Bosh on the defensive end of things outside of rebounds.
That being said, now that it appears that Andrea is slowly catching onto things with respect to his help defense (he's always been reasonable one-on-one defender) could he now be evolving as the more valuable big man from a defensive perspective on the Raptors? I think the only thing he continues to struggle with is his lack of rebounding, but if can improve (as he's already expressed yesterday) in that catagory, could he soon become our new defensive anchor?
Thoughts?
