When calculating a grade, it is very important to look at the context. Are you grading each person individually against themselves and their potential? Against other members of the team, or against the entire league?
The writer of the article doesn't seem to make that clear. As such you can almost make the assumption that the players are being graded against the other members of the team. If they compared them to the rest of the league, we'd see more C's and D's (and some F's). If they were compared to their potential, then Davis and Demar should be A's.
If my assumption is valid, then I would agree that Barg's grade is too low. There is no way that Dorsey or Ajinca are as good as Bargs. Even if Bargs defense is bad, these guys can't compare.
The heck does that have to do with energy level? Bargnani is as big, if not bigger than most centers in the league. What's his excuse for not bringing it on defense? I just showed you a prime example of a center doing more on offense and also bringing world class defense and that's not even getting into defensive rebounding.
Dance Pack: C-
The quality of the dancers has gone down in recent years, but their dancing still remains on par with the lunch-time staff at the House of Lancaster (The Bloor/Lansdowne one). For the price of one beer at the ACC, i can get the fly of my jeans to stink of stripper's ass crack. Clearly the ass crack stink is the better option.
That's all well and obvious but Howard puts forth a lot more effort than Bargnani. Surely you can understand the concept that effort is not a talent or an ability, it's way of thinking and then doing. Dwight chooses to work much harder than Bargnani and so his effort on the floor is much great than Bargnani's. I'm not talking about comparing stats here. I'm talking about effort.
