And I'm actually serious about the comparison and it highlights what I think people overlook. Being able to sustain the energy to consistently defend and rebound are skills as unique as the ability to score. Just as Amir has never shown the ability to consistently score 20 ppg, Bargnani has never shown the ability to consistently defend and rebound. Both are physically ABLE to do it. Amir scored 20 or more points 4 times this past season. That's twice as many games as Bargnani rebounded double digits. Amir has a very soft touch around the basket, moves extremely well without the ball and is great at running the pick and roll. Plus he's got a vastly improved jumpshot. But it's not like a guy like Blake Griffin really is THAT more skilled offensively, and he averaged 23 ppg.
