Here's a nice Danlio Gallinari mix:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RUSeW8X0GWo&feature=related

It's hard to tell from short clips but if you watch one of game clips, it looks like he's a little show on defense but a generally fine player. He's not as good as, say, Odom but he's only 19. However, to the extent that Odom is a role player, it looks like Gallinari, yes, might end up a role player. I can't see him dominating but I don't think, based on those, clips that he's a project. He looks like an upgrade on David Lee and while he might not start on a good team, he'll be a solid bench player. I'm not sure I see anyone better for the Knicks on the board.

i've watched just about every clip i could find on him on YouTube so far & i think he reminds me of a young Kukoc.... i would certainly not complain if this kid grew into as good a role player as Kukoc was for the championship Bulls.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

WHat person on this board has said Courtney Lee? The kid can really shoot it and will make a real good team happy in the mid 20s. I am still a big EG fan. The kid can shoot it. They gave the kid from Nevada rave reviews he is the next Sene

Well' he is' on my personal list. I'd be happy with him, if they did pick him.

But you also wanna know something? There is virtually no footage of his play on youtube. The only thing that they keep pounding about this guy is one monster dunk. Not two or three, nope' just one dunk. I hope that's not what his hype is going to be built around.

On a personal level, he seems like a pretty intelligent guy and personable too.

You may be right, but it will be because of his height.

Here's another page of specifics on some of the players. It has NCAA reports, NBA reports, Euro reports as well as other league reports on players throughout professional basketball.

i wouldn't call Kukoc nothing... he was a good player for a number of years for them... Jordan was the man but he didn't win those championships all by himself.

Of course not, but they never would have won without him. As opposed to he would have won elsewhere, no matter where he went. Provided he was with a good solid core. A team would've needed him a lot more than he would have needed them is the best way I can put it.

I thought it was worth bringing this back again.

I been seeing names thrown around lately and I have to say bringing up Mayo, Gordon, Randolph and Speights are questionable moves. Too many key question marks on these particular players. For instance, Mayo and Gordon would bring something that has plagued this team for a long time. Turnovers.

If we're going to draft a guard, then you'd want a good ball handler instead. This is going to be key to D'Antoni's running plans. Randolph and Speights have too many faults and there's no way of knowing what the potentials will be. I'd rather take either Koufos, Lopez or DeAndrew. One, for size purposes and the other, they carry minimal weaknesses.

I still stand by one of these picks, if we get them. As a matter of fact, I traded in Gallinari for Joe Alexander. So I'm adding Joe onto to my main list below. But I still prefer a center.

Also, keep in mind their rankings (per position) and what they bring to the game in comparison.

Kosta Koufos
Brook Lopez
Jerryd Bayless
DeAndrew Jordan
DJ Augustine
Kevin Lowe
Chris Douglas Roberts
Courtney Lee
Joe Alexader
