Raptors' General Manager Bryan Colangelo believes that former No. 1 pick Andrea Bargnani is a better prospect than New York's recent first-rounder Danilo Gallinari.

"I think the upside Bargnani has is different," Colangelo said. "He's a 7-footer vs. 6-9. He has the advantage of size. When some Italian [scouts] told me Danilo was a better prospect, I've always politely disagreed. Danilo has a bright future if his health holds up. But if you're going to say who will be better, I'd bet on a 7-footer who has already had success in the NBA."
