Posted by BasketballJones: What are you talking about? The man is nearly 7' tall and has a sick handle!!! He's basically Lamar Odom with an aggressive offensive attitude. To me that's a heck of a combination. He seems VERY fluid for such a tall kid and he seems to be able to get to where he wants and change direction at will. I think he's a fine prospect. |

One thing to remember is that he's playing against men on these videos, not 20 yr old kids.
Whatever the Euroleague level is compared to the nba is meaningless at this point cause what counts is how does euroleague would fare against NCAA. Guys like diaw, pietrus, parker have played to some extend in euroleague. It's not a subpar CBA and playing there at that level must tell something about DG's skills. |

I will join the Galinari looks alright brigade. He would probably be a decent pick at 6. I like what I have seen from him previously, and this tape showed a lot of what he can do. He is versatile on offense. Unfortunately highlight tapes are not made to expose weaknesses. However, he looks pretty damn athletic to me. Not freakish, but by no means is he a land-lubber like Mike Sweetney or Lampe.
Add to that his ball-handling and shooting ability with a solid physique and he should at least be a good offensive NBA player. That is what you're really looking for from pick 6 and on in this day and age. Good players, not guaranteed stars. In no way can Gallinari be one of the biggest busts ever because he doesn't have enough hype coming in. Think Harold Miner. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

If we stay at 6, I wouldn't mind Galinari. You guys are expecting too much at that draft position.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

If he can add more muscle, he can be a really good power forward in D'Antoni's offense. He'll be able to spread the offense, open up the paint, and put the ball on the deck and go around most PF's.

He just needs to do something about those stiff legs.

I'd have no problem with Galinari. I will get up and leave the draft if we get Gordon.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Van Horn was the biggest Hero in College basketball in his Junior year and had pro-star written all over him more than Gallinari by a long shot.
Van Horn was well on his way to being star player in the NBA but was sideline by multiple broken leg and ankle injuries. All this "He wasn't tough" stuff is mostly B.S. He was fragile. Remember when Van Horn was with the Knicks? Don't tell me he wasn't a very good player! If Gallinari has Van Horn potential, the Knicks better draft him! oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Van Horn stunk like donkey balls for his first couple of months with the Knicks, then he started playing well for his final couple of months, until he was traded. He NEVER played well in the 4th quarter though. I think your assessment is slightly extreme. I also disagree about the fourth quarter, whether with the Knicks or previously. I recall him making some game winners and daggers once he got comfortable with what the Knicks were doing. That's why people were starting warm up to him. oohah [Edited by - oohah on 26-06-2008 3:30 PM] Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!
