TheStar.com | NBA | Bargnani uneasy being home
In a nation whose stereotypical citizen is a fast-talking, hand-talking extrovert, Bargnani, the stone-faced speaker of few-word sentences, is the national antithesis. As a player, perhaps that counts as a strength. And there is no reason to believe that Bargnani, who was tendered an expected extension of his rookie contract yesterday that will keep him in Toronto through the 2008-09 season, won’t continue his ascent. He’s expected to be the club’s full-time starting centre this season. He’s got the skills and the size to be an NBA stats factory.
