In summary, I think (1) Lewis is a very good defensive player (2) Aldridge is slightly below average defender (3) Bargnani is poor-to-very poor defender (4) And, also that Aldridge is a significantly superior rebounder than Bargnani is. As a result, I think Bargnani's flaws are a lot worse than either of the two other players.

The early warning signs were actually there against Cleveland. FYI … http://khandorssportsblog.com/wordpress/2009/10/30/substitution-charts-can-tell-you-a-great-deal-about-the-game/ 2. Rashard Lewis and LaMarcus Aldridge are #4/PF's, not #3/SF's. Each is a better all-around player than Andrea Bargnani [C], however, as they can effectively check more than one position on D, and have a skill-set which is more versatile when considering all three main phases of the game [i.e. Defense, Rebounding and Offense]. Tim,

And neither are built like Bargnani, who is longer and bigger than both of them.
