I dont recall to many Euro stiffs being mocked by Draft Express this high. Obviously he is just more than 6' 11" and athletic to be mocked that high.

it has nothing to do with him being a foreign prospect, it has to do with your veiled attempt to put down Gallinari for absolutely no reason other than to get a rise out of people.

Sure and people ask me if I play basketball because Im black and they are racist not because Im 6' 7".

Stop trying to read into something that isnt there man. Comparing Gallo to a guy mocked as a top 3 pick in 2011 is an insult now?

I guarantee you you'd get asked that whatever race you were at 6'7".
Perhaps you'd prefer being asked about Volleyball.

BTW, do you (play basketball)?

Yeah man, I get asked left and right if I play basketball, and I'm white and 6'4". Come to think of it, I'm honestly not sure why they are curious about that. It never even leads to a conversation.

And that's not racist. It's simply stereotyping.

Based on what I read and saw he looks like someone to watch, but your thread title is somewhat gratuitous, and more than a little bit provacative. (Which is what you were aiming at, I assume.

And Gallinari was a pretty well known foreign prospect in terms of being scouted and touted, by the way, and you did not have to live in Europe to know that.

Btw, last sunday Vesely and his Partizan were playing against Cibona Zagreb in the Adriatic League final.
Few seconds to go, they're up by 1 after missed free throw...
