    Its just a thought that came up at one point during tonight's game. I think Bosh is still our franchise player, but the way we've looked so far, its almost like we don't need to depend on him to score 20+ points anymore. I realize that he's still recovering from injuries/rust, but Bargnani's looked like a more dangerous offensive threat than I could've hoped for (he's efficient too). And with the possibility that 5 or 6 players will be averaging in double figures, do you think Bosh will not finish as the team's leading scorer this year?</p>

    I think he will be the lead scorer. Just off his injury he is getting back in to it. However, if we keep this amazing play up, I think Bargnani will lead with about 20 per, and everyone else will be in double figures, which is great.</p>

    I rather have a team were like 8 guys are in or close to double figures then 1 guy who scores a lot. Kind of like the Lakers.</p>

    Chris's stats have gone up every year he's been in the league. That may not happen again this season but I doubt that Bargnani will replace him as the team leading scorer after 82 games. I'm sure there will be many nights where Bargnani outscores Bosh but I'm sticking with him for now.</p>

    Bargnani is the more potent scorer I've been saying this since Toronto drafted this guy. I really don't Bosh would have any issues with it either and could just focus on rebounding and defense instead. Bosh should model his impact on a game the way KG does it. KG is not the lead scorer in Boston, but he dominated the game with 20/20/5. If Bosh can average 20/14 you guys are going to win a lot of games this year.</p>

    Honestly, it looks like Bargnani may have a bigger upside than Bosh, but both are amazing players, and both can be superstars.</p>

    Bosh could wind up being an Elton Brand type of player, consistently putting up 20/10 every night but not the focal point of an offense.</p>

    Mago has it in him to be a volume scorer in the future. I think he has as much offensive potential as Dirk, it will just take a few years to squeeze it out of him.</p>

    I think Mago will eventually be our #1 scoring option but not this year.</p>

    I dont see Bosh as being one of those egotistical players who needs to score and post up stats every single game, I think he would rather win more games then get the personal stats. Anyways I believe hes in a minislump right now due to his limited playing time in the preseason along with his off-season injury but he will bounce back. He may average less points this season then he did last but not by much, I still expect 20/10 from him by the end of the season.</p>

    He may become the second leading scorer but I doubt it, his experience in the league is much more than any of the potential leading scorers. Even if it doesn't happen there's no doubt that he will remain the most important team player and always draw the most attention.</p>

    It's quite obvious in my opinion Bargnani is more offensively gifted then Chris. If AB develops more of a post game and becomes more aggressive shooting the ball, it will be only a matter of time before he overtakes Bosh as this teams leading scorer. With that said once Chris is 100% healthy there's no doubt in my mind he will be this teams offensive first option this season.</p>

    I think Bosh and Bargnani's scoring will be around the same. But Bosh's scoring will probably go down a bit from last season.</p>
