It's tough to draw any conclusions in 3 mins of play in the first game of your career the Garden...That said, I'm with Fish...Reminds me of Keith Van Horn but a little more agile...Doesn't play big given his size...But he is young and has time...I'm not impressed tho...He has had professional experience and could have had a better showing...
Still very early... |

Posted by fishmike:Posted by Elite:JJ has that. Its Globe Trotters 101 I'm gonna give you a wet willy when I see you again fishy! Seriously man.....the kid only played 3 minutes but when he got the ball and the guy reached that behind the back dribble came so quick and they he took that step forward and got fouled...... Yo in the D'antoni scheme of things Nate Knew to hit the corner and Gallo was gonna hit him with the pass but got fouled. Clyde said that it was "a rookie mistake" not to go up with the shot once he got fouled.....I don't sense that from this kid. If he was confortable and not trying to fit in as a teamate he would have blown straight to the basket for the and one. I truly believe the kid is just trying to help build chemistry. He Knows the game and knows how teams work. He's new to the team but he won't be for long. I can see the future!!!!! Subscribe to my Podcast https://youtube.com/c/DiehardknicksPodcast

Posted by holfresh: Damn right he could've had a better showing. I blame D'Antoni for not getting this kid back in the game when we were up 20 in the second half. That was the problem right there. WTF was that all about? That was the perfect time to get him in there. No excuse for not getting him back in the game in the 2nd half when we were up big. Not much you can show anyone with 3 minutes of PT, I don't care who you are. Q actually having a good game for once didn't exactly help matters I guess. Hopefully he gets a longer run next game...

Posted by holfresh: Is that bad???? The only problem people had with Keith Van Horn was his toughness. Other than that he gave you 20 and 8, 19 and 8, 17 and 8 in his prime. As long as Gallo wasn't a pansy I'd have no problem with that. Between him and Chandler that would mean we made 2 great choices. I'm dreaming of the guy becoming as productive as Van Horn I just hope that people will like me

Posted by Bippity10:Posted by holfresh: People tend to forget what KVH was at one point. If Gallo actually got those numbers people would be ecstatic!!! I actually think he's got more game than KVH tho. Gallo isn't a speedster but he's quicker than KVH was. He's got more handle and agility. He's trickier too. He's got all those faints and step backs. Once he gets comfortable I expect good things from him. I really don't look at this 3 minute stint as any kind of evidence. Tho I saw much of the same kind of clues to how he thinks in this as I saw in video of the kid and that one game in Summer league. He's not a chucker. He'll play the team game and fit right in with what MDA is doing and that's a good thing. |

People tend to forget what KVH was at one point. Van Horn was a huge part of the Nets run to the finals and came up big in a lot of games, especially against Boston. I think talking about how he isn't tough is really B.S. He rebounded well and drove to the basket hard frequently finishing with jams in people's faces. He was just injury prone. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!
