He has been the only guy in Toronto capable of scoring the ball ever since he arrived. Usually when teams have only 1 offensive option, those players have to score at a low efficiency since teams focus all their attention on them. His efficiency is very similar to Paul Pierce's before the big 3 era in Boston.
Chris Bosh though...
I have a gut feeling , we might get this guy.
I tell you why. He has never played on a good team before. He can flat out shoot the three. He is rebounding better than before but still highly inconsistent player. Just saying for a three point specialist he could be had
In the 21 games he played this season, he shot 31% from deep on 4.5 attempts. That's awful. He also grabbed only 7.9% of available rebounds while he was on the floor, good for 2nd worst in the league among power forwards and center.
So how exactly will a guy who can't rebound or shoot threes help the Celtics in any way?
he can shoot very well, and is a pretty good rebounder too. Quoting his numbers from this year which he spent trying to play through an injury is inaccurate.
I know he can shoot, but that doesn't mean I want him on the Celtics as a "three point specialist".
As far as him being a pretty good rebounder...lets just say I strongly disagree. Among players 6'11 or taller in the history of the NBA (with at least 20mpg averaged over their career) he ranks last in career rebounding rate and career rebounds per 36 min. Let me just say that again: in the
history of the NBA, no one is worse.
Rondo and Lowry are about a foot shorter and they're still better on the boards than Bargnani.
