BRIGGS made a great call on Lopez, but doesn't know how to link.
I'll never trust this' team again.

man, i wish we'd taken a SG. my first choice was Westbrook, but with Bayless and Gordon on the board at 6, there were a lot of obvious choices. oh well. not to mention Randolph, McGee and Lopez. wasted wasted pick.

You havent' even seen Gallinari play yet dude. Why are you so eager to judge? Chill out.

If you are a coach of another team and you see Galinari out there--what would you do? I would immediately find my 265 pound PF and tell him to remind Gallo that he's playing with the big boys with a very nice hip check or two. Here comes Gallo into the paint--eww Kendrick Perkins with the nasty foul

So because of that, it immediately means he's a bad player. Gotcha.

You guys are hilarious. I have no idea what Gallinari could end up being, he could end up being a huge bust, but we're never going to know until we watch the kid play. It's friggen annoying watching the same people make the some generalizations about his game without him even playing yet.

So what. I don't get it, great, Walsh hasn't seen him. How does that reflect poorly on Gallinari?

It reflects poorly on Walsh.


i have no problem with Gallinari. seems like a nice kid. just don't think he'll play much basketball.

""It is about getting healthy," D'Antoni said. "That is the No. 1 priority. I'm not ready to say he's not going to play this year. I'm not ready to say that in a month or two he won't be ready. But realistically I don't think anybody really knows. I'm not worried about it. The only thing we're worried about is getting him 100% well. If it takes all year, it takes all year. But we're not going to push him.

"I'm worried about it, but at this point, we're just going to do what's best for him. He's 20 years old. We'd love for him to play in the next two or three weeks. We'd love for him to play in the next two or three months, but he has to be 100% well. And I don't know when that point will be.""

This is what D'Antoni said on Nov 11, 2008 and I'm going to take him at his word. As far as anyone is concerned, Gallinari is 100% and ready. No reason to hold him back anymore and certainly no reason to use his back as an excuse.

Based on his experience in the "superior" Euroleague and the skills we've been told he possesses, I expect his learning curve to be much shorter than for someone who played in the inferior NCAA. Seeing how the Knicks run such basic sets, it's only a matter of time before Gallinari is playing at least 20 minutes a game and showing why he was the 6th pick. I figure by the all star break.

Masochism really falls short for most of you guys. This is beyond ridiculous. I thought you were Knick fans but it seems that you can only be pleased in thinking of ways the Knicks can end up screwed. You don't have to like the pick, thats your choice, but the thoughts and comments some of you write about how others will hurt the Knicks, like you just can't wait for that to happen, is really mind-boggling.

Knicks Medical staff said he was ready to go, so did Danillo, but neither said he was 100%.

D'Antoni didn't play him, so the wait continues. If somehow declaring that you believe Gallo is 100% healthy makes you feel better, go on. But a message board's post does nothing to change the fact that it is a day-by-day issue that clearly seems to be close but not exactly at 100%.

If it helps your "Gallo is a bust" posts, fine. Suit yourself. But whether is now or in two weeks, the main objective for the Knicks and the main hope of the fans should be a 100% healthy Gallo.

Gallo is the only one that can state if he is 100% or not. You opinion on if he is 100% does not hold weight.

Just because he played in a tougher league does not make the learning curve easier. A players learning curve is based on the players ability to adapt. Gallo will have to adapt to the speed of the NBA as well as more physically gifted athletes then he will have to deal with in Europe. He will get open looks though in this system so his best bet his rookie yr is to knock down shots. All the other things will have to come with time and experience. He does have great potential because of his character though.

I don't think anyone wants Gallo to fail. Unfortunately there were so many 'can't miss' guys available that were passed up for him. There was no reason to try and get fancy or smart with this pick and that is what I think the Knicks did. I was very disappointed and frustrated on draft night. The 6th pick in that draft could have really helped the franchise for the next decade. I don't think Gallo is that guy and I didn't in June. There was no reason to go after the unkown commodity in this draft.

No no. The Knicks are declaring that he's 100% healthy, I'm just restating that fact. Go read the bolded parts of that post your quoted. That wasn't me talking, that was the head coach of the NY Knicks.

to be fair, it's a somewhat complicated offense to pick up. i'd be thrilled if was contributing a solid 20 minutes a night by March or April.

There was no reason to go after the unkown commodity in this draft.

The draft, as any other part of sports, is a gamble. What about signing Lebron in 2010 and somehow he gets injured and can't play? What if one or many of the so-called "can't miss" disappear in the next 2 years, like it has happened before? YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, yet people here are talking like if we were 10 years beyond the 2008 draft and we knew the guys who made it or didn't.

In sports, especially with young players, there is an important way to avoid going insane: its called patience. Thats exactly what the Knicks and their fans should have right now. The only reason to worry for Gallo is his health, which has been improving and, since he is young, should get better in the progression of his career. With that set, we will be looking at a 6'10"-6'11" player with the range of a shooting guard and the attitude of a Yankee captain. The guy has a lot of potential, fits incredibly to the style the Knicks want to play and will create a lot of mismatches.

Relax. Be patient. Let Gallo recover and play at full strength and the future will look way better.
