Galloway brings one skill to the table of which NBA teams can never get enough: long-range shooting. A four-year senior who never shot below 39 percent from 3 in any season, he has an enormous 6-8 wingpspan and improved his off-the-dribble game as he developed.

The Knicks had offensive outburst as it started early with point guard Shane Larkin leading the way as New York was up 17-3 in the first quarter. As the game progressed into the second quarter, former St. Joe Hawk Langston Galloway came off the bench and had a tremendous game in which his Knicks’ teammates were delighted to see.

The former Hawk had 17 points in 20 minutes off the bench for the Knicks. Galloway also had a very efficient day from the field shooting 7 of 10 and 1 of 2 from the three point line.

What's not to like?

Q. anrst: can he run the point?

A. Galloway had a mandate to score in college. His assist to turnover ratio at St Josephs was 2 to 1.

Worthy of an invite to Greenburgh to audition in October.

Cartman718 - this thread is reserved for fans of Langston Galloway. The Jordan Henriquez fan club is down the hall on the left, just past the Mens Room.

The Long Shot: Larkin and Brown are joined by rookie point guard Langston Galloway (Last Season: St. Joseph’s). The Knicks signed Galloway after he went undrafted coming out of St. Joe’s. He’s not a pure point guard in terms of his playmaking skills but he has two assets Jackson likes: size (6’2” and 202 pounds) and shooting ability. Galloway can really fill it up, shooting at a 44.3 percent clip from three-point range as a senior (82.6 FT%) on his way to 17.7 points per game.

You mean kinda like John Starks did.

And we cut someone a few years back who ended up making it in the NBA with a couple other teams...

Cameron Moore, whom I pointed out on the game thread, looks more the NBA part. 6'10" 230 F/C. Played at UAB and averaged close to 11 RPG as a senior. Has put up decent numbers in Europe. Scouting reports say he's a pogo stick of a rebounder. Roster has more of a need for him. Numbers game.

The kid is definitely going to stick with a team, I hope it's the Knicks. Brown really shouldn't take up a roster spot and Priggs, at his age, really should be moved to a contender like the Spurs to fill in while Mills gets healthy. From what I had read on Galloway, many teams were interested in drafting him, but might have overlooked him due to his age. He also has a fear of flying which he is showing a willingness to overcome, but still a concern for any team that is interested. I like that the kid has the courage to face his fear in the pursuit of realizing his dream.

He is also considered a hard worker, character guy. Another good find, but definitely not under the radar. If the Knicks don't sign him, another team will. He is NBA ready, just needs to continue to work on his PG skills

I would be "LinSane"!
