Yup, Moon has been absolutely awesome. He's an absolute diamond in the rough - to be coming in and playing the way he has despite being a previous minor-leaguer, it really is amazing. Bosh has been playing well this year, though, the night before last was the first time he dominated a game singlehandedly (and held up with LJ). Kapono has been excellent so far too.
Bargnani has been terribly disappointing this year, with little enthusiasm and that 3 point shot in the same place as always. This guys has the tools to be aggressive on the offensive end, but fouls on both ends every minute and has no idea how to post up.
One player that has been really frustrating to me this whole year is TJ Ford though. In the games where Toronto has lost, it seems Ford has been getting the Alston syndrome and hogging the ball to go up against the other teams' PG's to show them up. There have been some nice opportunities he's forgone in passing the ball to an open teammate to go one-on-one against the opposing teams PG and takes some damn lousy shots. I wish Mitchell sat him every time he did this.
From watching nearly every game, I can see that one thing this team is missing is a pure Centre who can rebound and block. Moon has stepped up, but doesn't intimidate the opposing players down low in the key - he catches them by surprise. Someone who can run bang in the key would be nice to have to rough up opposing players.
