Bargs is better than Oden (who we would have drafted) at this point in their careers. We just missed the best players in the draft (B. Roy).

Example?
We hardly have any euros other than our starting PG and C and they are in fine roles. What players are you referring to?
If anything, we need more euros. Losing Delfino and Garbs was devastating to the team. And with a team of soft jumpshooters we need to play a euro brand.

*eyeroll*
Kapono on defense is the closest NBA teams get to penalty killing, and no one* on the team is above average in defense, size, athleticism or rebounding.
