NBA Rookie Progress Report: Andrea Bargnani

Andrea Bargnani had Raptors fans scared. If not scared, then at least a little
nervous. For a player drafted number one and with all the accompanying
expectations, he was struggling. Lost on defense, unsure of his role
offensively, and generally looking like a fish out of water.“Il Mago”, as
he’s known in his native country, began to cause some analysts to question
whether the young Italian was performing a disappearing act, the kind that
would even make David Copperfield jealous.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and all of a sudden the player with a reputation
for doing magic tricks on the court is beginning to re-appear as a key
contributor off the bench for the struggling Raptors. As part of a series of
articles examining the progress of high profile rookies, DraftExpress is
putting Bargnani under the spotlight to chart his development throughout the
season.
The goal is to extend the prospect evaluation process into the NBA season.
There is an added dimension of continuity made possible only through observing
how the top prospects are performing once they actually make it to the big
stage. Invariably, some prospects that were projected to do well struggle,
and others that flew under the radar rise to the occasion. Too often we forget
about the draft process as soon as the rookies hit the floor, and move on to
the next crop of players coming down the pipeline.
The patterns underlying who excels, and who doesn’t, end up forming the
template for the coming draft. They lurk in the unconscious of even the most
impartial NBA GM’s, conditioning their evaluations of the new group of
draftees indirectly. The NBA is essentially a copycat league. Like the stock
market, if a certain type of player exceeds expectations as a rookie, then you
can expect that players entering the draft the following year are going to see
their stock affected accordingly.
We’ve seen international bigs take a hit recently with Darko disappointing
people in the context of the comparative success of his fellow draft mates.
Will Bargnani confirm this shift in perception, and make it harder on European
7-footers in the near future? Or will he re-ignite the quest to draft the next
Dirk or Pau?
What follows will be an accounting of Bargnani’s progress after the first
dozen games of the season. When framing Bargnani’s game, it’s best to start
with his offense. He is a player whose most significant gifts lie on the
offensive side of the ball. Therefore, this is where we’ll begin.

只貼到這算前言的部分
因為文章真的蠻長的,真貼下來大部分人應該會直接按end吧
精采的在下面,他們給他的評語是相當不錯的,甚至評為有機會成為the next evaluation
有興趣的可以試著翻翻看,要翻這麼多字數對我這懶人來講根本是折磨
所以就稍盡心力給翻譯的人3000P吧(算一下三四千字有吧)
