You also seem to be confused about the word "evidence". Bosh no longer being around and Bargnani's apparent mindset is not evidence he will get between 8-10 rebounds a game. That's like saying the evidence that Amir will get 20 ppg is that he should start and will need to fill the scoring void left by Bosh. That's not evidence. Those are just facts that are unrelated to the original premise.
And please don't make a claim of something I don't actually believe and then attempt to insult me for this belief I don't even have. I don't believe Bargnani has peaked, have never said as much and in fact have said the opposite. I think he will get slightly better and could very well end up averaging around 20 ppg. I have said that he probably will never become a good defender or rebounder, but that's based on history. There's a difference between improving and changing the type of player you are. Bargnani will most likely remain a pretty good offensive player who is is weak defensively and on the boards. It doesn't mean he's peaked or that he won't improve. It simply means he's not going to magically change into a different player.
