He has the Knicks taking Gallinari. "The skinny: Mike D'Antoni lands the perfect weapon for his new team -- a 6-10 point forward who knows how to think the game. It might not be a popular pick in New York, but D'Antoni will make it work." You guys haven't even seen me be negative yet if that were to happen. If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

Why is he a bad choice Isles?

Posted by islesfan:Posted by TMS:Posted by islesfan: how do you know this tho? i'm curious... i've been going off scouting reports & thinking he seems to fit the mold of a player that would do well in D'Antoni's system... have you seen him play in games firsthand that would lead you to believe he's a high risk bust of a pick?

Posted by islesfan:Posted by TMS:Posted by islesfan: I love how every Euro that has skills is supposedly going to be the next Dirk. Seriously how many Euro's have been drafted since Dirk and have come close to sniffing his jock? Absolutely zero! Then it was Classic during the Draft Pick Selection segment when they had Bilas going through his Top prospects and when he got to Gilinari he capped his analysis with "Experts Say He Could Be Better Than Bargnani." I was like AB sucks so that's not saying anything really. LMFAO @ the Bio [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephon_Marbury[/url]
