In his season-ending press conference, Toronto Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo admitted Andrea Bargnani is miscast at the center position.

"We need a bigger, better post presence," Colangelo said, noting that seven-footers who excel on the boards and defensively are keys to success.

"Defending the rim is one of the main weaknesses we have, we need to get a guy who rebounds the ball."

Colangelo said nobody on the roster is "untradeable" and did not discount the possibility he would move the top selection of the 2006 draft, but said either way, a center must be added.

"The biggest need is we have not paired a legit five (centre) next to Andrea Bargnani. He's our five because we don't have anybody else to play that position at his size."

When the Toronto Raptor's All-Star power forward Chris Bosh signed with the Miami Heat, Andrea Bargnani became the team's go-to-guy, whether he was ready for it or not. The Raptors first overall pick from 2006 was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.

"He is the franchise guy now," concluded Raptors veteran Reggie Evans.  

Bargnani has taken on the role as leading scorer for the Raptors, averaging over 20 points per game in every month this season.

But as a seven-footer, Bargnani has to be reminded that a five rebound average isn't normally acceptable for a starting big man in the NBA.

"I have to keep getting better at other aspects starting from the three-point line, defense, and rebounding," said Bargnani.  "Everybody can see the numbers.  Offensively the numbers are there, I have to get better at rebounding."
