the knicks have three young players, with star potential, that are poised to have break-out seasons in 10-11: felton, gallo and randolph. what is the chance that one of them takes the next step?
definite -- at least one of those three will reach star status
probable -- it's more likely that one will break-out than it is that all three will bust
possible -- it's just as likely that they will all bust as it is that one will break out
improbable -- it's more likely that none will break-out this season
impossible -- none of these three players will reach star status

I've seen enough from Danilo Gallinari and in my opinion, I do not see a Star but a good role player/specialist. Same with Raymond Felton and Wilson Chandler. I've not seen enough from Anthony Randolph so I can't say.

You realize Gallo n AR are like 22 and 21 and on the rise? Not yet being stars may only be a matter of time. Both have All Star talent IMO. Once they fully develop I can see these 2 getting to at least being in the conversation for All Star consideration.

The short rotation and fast pace should help both to stand out.

I think he does realize they're both very young, but I do agree with Sergio.

Amar'e is the only shoe in all star on this roster as of last season. Sure, DG and AR might have breakout years, but if they don't, will they ever be all star caliber players ? That's why this season is huge for both of them.

I disagree with you and Sergio...Read the thread title.

You don't pay 100 million dollars for a "break out star"

Thats for an established star, which I hope amari fits that description.

"Break Out Stars" is a label for the underdogs like AR, Galo, Chandler, Felton...

AR to me is the only guy with break out star capability, with his all around skills. The other guys will be very, very solid.

like supremecommander, i am pumped to see genuine optimism on the forum. 75% of the board thinks there's a good chance we might have a second star on the roster already. i cannot wait to see this team play.

gallo has never had a guy like amare to play off of. and he's never had a PG like felton. plus, i just expect him to build off of last year. his game improved as the season progressed and by the end of the year he was showing that he could be a go-to guy.

finally, randolph is going to have every opportunity that he didn't have in GS. i see him cast in the same role as marion. randolph is gonna beast picking up scraps off of all the attention amare gets.

sorry, but the more i think of this team from an overall perspective, the more i think they are poised to shock the NBA. i think the mix we have is very unique. the players' skill sets are complimentary. it would really surprise me if one of these guys doesn't emerge as a legit NBA star. i wanna temper my enthusiasm, but man, i can realistically envision two of these guys just blowing up and one being a very solid second tier guy.

felton 16ppg 10apg 2spg
gallo 20ppg 6rpg 4apg 1bpg
randolph 12ppg 10rpg 2bpg 2spg

55 wins best case
45 wins worst case

I'm feeling you evil- (pause)
Most opti-season for me so far. I feel this year, like Nixluva does every season.

If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

I'm still shocked Gallo has ANY DOUBTERS.......

In this video alone he shows all the makings of a star

And if you notice most of his best moments never came from the PG ( cause ours sucked balls)

He showed the ability to score from anywhere and in many different ways!

You see in clips that no matter who u put on him they are instantly in a mismatch.

More then anyone on our team and honestly for me even more then CP3
Now don't take that twisted I know CP3 is a much better player but if your gonna guard him
you will either put your PG or SG on him on D

With Gallo though you cant guard him with any type of player
Not a PG SG SF PF or with a C

Gaurds seemed to be most coaches choice on him cause they realized D'Antoni was using Gallo
mainly to spread floor and had him planted at 3 point line

But after trades when we went back to more of the 7 seconds or less Gallo was exploiting
his size over guards and was beasting on them

SF seem like most likely option on Gallo but again he showed that even Melo can't
gaurd him and Melo is a great defender one on one!!

PF or centers cant hold him off the dribble no way no how

Hahn's article from Italy said Gallo is working on all the right things
Explosiveness Core and Post game ........ Gallo will be our main option
on offensive when game matters cause he is not only a scorer but a very good and willing
passer!! I see Gallo to Amare a lot btw

All in all shocks me some people still don't see it

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

I know the difference between the two. I was just stating the obvious when I said Amare is the only shoe in all star, because he's already established himself.

OK....I have to admit, I didn't watch that galo clip until now.

And I forgot why I love this dudes game and confidence.

I can see Galo becoming a star....definitely.

Especially with MDA as the coach. I would not trade Galo right now.

I think Galo will be that rising star, if healthy and given playing time.
