You could see he was more confident and looking more ready to step up this year. I'm pulling for him to have a breakout season. Can't have enough home grown talent.
many players show potential and most of them end up stinking.
no way to predict that gallo would be shooting at this rate.
I think Gallo demonstrated he had the stones to take and make big shots last year. He was an undrafted rookie on a losing squad but he still showed desire to win but just needed more work on his game which he seems to have done. I don't think it was that hard to see his potential and a good chance for him to continue to grow from his rookie season.
for all the players that show potential that we all can, most of them fail.
the only people who are good at predicting are the ones who are right most of the time. There are very few of those.
I disagree. I take these things on an individual basis. If I see the right indications from a player it's not hard to imagine how they could be with a bit more development or opportunity to show what they can do. Gallo was impressive last year even tho he still needed to make improvements in his game. He had that IT FACTOR you can't teach. He flashed it last year and hopefully he can continue to be a good player for this team.
Some poo pooed his being named the All Rookie 2nd team last year but for an undrafted rookie starting in the D League that was quite impressive. Also contrary to what some may think I'm right more often than wrong but some people only count season predictions as if that's all we talk about.
summer league means what?
