		<description>I&#039;ll let khandor link to the article he wrote about which position Bargnani should play.  It&#039;s not PF, and I agree wholeheartedly on it.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the answers guys, your points are some I didn&#039;t think too much about: the rebounding and the back to the basket offense.

IMO it&#039;s going to depend on all the team to defend the right way (nobody in this team is a stopper), but if they give too much second chances things don&#039;t look good.

I still have some hopes that Bargnani improves: there is size, he isn&#039;t slow and once in a while he has showed he can do it. Now the problem is  he has to do it night in and night out, I&#039;ll pray for it :)

On the back to the basket offense, well, I think that Bargnani has some moves (but no his game), although hanging on the perimeter is difficult to do it, I agree we need to run that play more to get some diversity in offense and some space for the shooters bringing to the paint some perimeter defenders. 

Now if instead of some PFs we had got some decent center (big, heavy that can free space at the paint and with some back to the basket game) it would have been better (for Bargnani and for the whole team).</description>

		<description>From a defensive perspective, there is nothing wrong with Ed Davis, as a front-court running mate for a Big like Bargnani; likewise, from a rebounding perspective.

The biggest problem for this specific pair of Bigs is on the offensive end of the floor where Davis does not appear to have the type of back-to-the-basket low post game which would alllow Bargnani to operate on the perimeter with impunity.

When Bryan Colangelo speaks of the possibility that Linas Kleiza might be this team&#039;s best low post scorer then this tells you that scoring points in the half-court with post-ups from the Bigs may not be a strong suit next season.

As Tim has correctly pointed out already, the main problem with Bargnani concerns his individual defense and rebounding and has little to do with the specific PF playing beside him.</description>
