This might make for a great competition for the starting SF spot next year.

Gallinari is clearly the much better outside shooter and efficient scorer, but he hasn't shown much else yet anywhere else (very few blocks, assists, rebounds etc..)

Chandler has poor selection and is not as good from the outside even when he takes a high quality shot, but he's capable of being aggressive going to the basket, is a better defender and fills out the stat sheet much better than Gallo (even if he doesn't excel at anything yet)

I can't wait to see how they come back next year and who has improved where.

I think this isn't even a question. They both are interchangeable and far as I know Gallo can play sg on offense and Candler can play sf. On defense chandler can guard sg and Gallo sf.

There might be some matchups where that can work, but I think ideally they are both SFs and should be playing their optimal position full time.

my hope is that Gallo can fill out to a point where he can be a PF. It'll take a LOT of years for that though.

maybe him and curry should swap daily meal programs? it would happen real quick that way.

In the last three drafts how many players are getting a double-double? Lee isnt going anywhere you have to pay him and he will be your starting power forward.

You keep singing that song. Truth be told the Knicks are a losing team and are terrible on defense.

Your next response is gonna be how Lee plays outta position. There aren't a lot of 7ft dominant big men in this league. If he played in Dave Cowens day and had the balls of a Dave Cowens nobody would question Lee. Lee is a soft power fwd which is crazy cuz he does average a double double.

Anyway....I think this all starts with the emergance of Wilson Chandler. He needs to be putting up some Al Harrington numbers next season. I think the Knicks have to give him the job and allow him and Gallo to decide who gets it perminantly.

After that everything is everything.....maybe even attach chandler, etc to get Melo or another guy.

DJ needs to post his manefesto....he had a brilliant plan at the get together.

For TOR or NYK?

This should not even be a topic because the Knicks drafted or acquired 5 small forwards on draft night over the course of the four drafts before 08. The fact that there were alot of more talented, known players who fit need positions available makes the pick of a lesser known system player seem idiotic.

i doubt Gallo will be starting next year until at least the Allstar break, unless he comes out w/a vengeance to start the season... Harrington, if he's still here, will likely see minutes ahead of him in this rotation.
