Having off shooting start yet still in top 12 in 3's made! What happens when he gets hot?

Also 3rd in FT % and 11th in the league in FT made!! (One spot ahead of Melo!)

All while being 4th option on our team.. That's solid production

hey korver's hitting 45% of his 3's so you're off there.

I have insulted Kyle Korver by comparing him to Gallo, my deepest and sincerest apologies.

Technomaster, Lopez is wack, man. Fields is a better at rebounding than him. Lopez is wack.

In our losses this year, Gallo is shooting a frigid 8-36 (22%).

How's that for a "great baller"?

Tied for 10th in 3’s made according to this:

way way way down the list in 3-pt % at 36.6

it's not abysmal but it's not great. watching the games has let me know that he's not the great 3-point shooter that he appeared to be his rookie year, and his recent successes just scream for him to keep switching up his game, getting to the line and getting off that 3-point line.

He's been inconsistent from the 3, and in our last game many of the shots he did not make were of the uncontested nature.

His shot seems flat to me, and there are times when he is not squared up properly, and you can see that the shot is off line as it leaves his hand.

He needs to get his legs more involved in his shot- that is what usually helps the arc.

I've said this before- his foul shots have a nice arc to them this year- don't know why this does not translate to his longer shots.

I agree that his game has to be varied, but it is essential for this team that he becomes more consistent from deep. He shot 44% his rookie year when he had a serious back issue, and he's gone done precipitously percentage-wise since then, despite the fact that his back is no longer an issue.

As a taller player with longer arms he has to be more disciplined in his shooting motion- his shooting form consistency has to improve.

I would love to see how he goes about practicing, and whether he actually puts himself through the motions he would go through in a game, or just puts up long jumpers in a leisurely manner.

Gallinari is a great baller, he can do it all on the court and his mind is so strong and healthy, he's a winner, he's a gentleman; a professional. The kid is young still with an unlimited ceiling. This is the first real team he's been on in the NBA. The positive energy will make him so good this season.
