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.

Predicting Galloway to be a good shooter was very easy because he was a good shooter in the D league and all through college. Shooting has always been his strongest skill. The problem was predicting hom to be a PG in a normal pick and roll / floor general system. Thats where hes weak at. But in the triangle system where a typical PG is not needed, a blind man can predict his success. Plus hes a good hard working player who put in extra work in the off season. The problem is how come Fisher didnt see this? Why is he coming off the bench when the starting unit needs guard defense and outside shooting? Everyone thinks Grant should start....but Gallo is the main person who should replace Jose.

He is playing more minutes than Calderon or Sasha. Also, last year he had one of the best TO/ast ratio for any guard. That's why I didn't understand people worrying about 3 SL games when he played 41 NBA games and protected the ball like very few do.

Galloway will need to keep it up but he is in that Draymond Green category where you can see it coming and lasting.

This team is fueled by good starts. They use that as momentum for the rest of the game. Even if Gallo plays the same minutes, he will impact the game more as a starter and closer. We need good starts to be consistent.

I try to look at a player's track record in college andi how he looks over his rookie stats. Gallo was a high volume sniper coming it of St. Joseph's. Plus, in the D-league everything transferred over from college. Then when he was called up to N.Y. once again his rebounding, steals, ast/to rate, and ball hawking transferred over well. The only thing that didn't transfer was his shooting and at rim%. The good thing is that most rookies offensive numbers are terrible so you can almost throw that out. Also, you have to take into account role. He was asked to do way more than he should have offensively so what would happen if he improves and he isn't asked to carry the load and can play off of quality players? You would get a great player. Even if he never matured on O you would still have a quality defensive NBA player.

Exactly and they won't make him the starting point guard for that reason. Why overwhelm him when he is clearly does not have the vision of a natural PG or the ability to break down the defense. Let him be himself. Whether he starts at SG OVER Affalo which I doubt or he leads our talented bench as a combo guard.

However good chance Affalo will be in and out of the lineup. In that case Uou'd have to start Galloway at the 2. I have no desire to see Sasha or Calderon start at the 2

What bothered me about coach Fisher were the 2014 summer league games when Galloway out played Larkins in every SL game, then Fisher didnt give Galloway any playingtime in the 2014 preseason games when Calderon (like Afflalo) miss 2014 preseason games with injury.
When Galloway came out the D.League to play 45 Knicks game, Galloway performance as our SG improve Larkins performance as a PG. Im sure all the Knicks guards on the roster want Gallo in their lineup, I guess thas the reason why Gallo receive the most minute played in the guard rotation in preseason n now

I think that we need galloway to play with melo to keep him in check.

You must not know much about Aflalo's game. The dude is a special two-way player folks. Wait til he is healthy you will see

I'm sure everyone has seen plenty of AA to know how good he can be. He's shown he can be really good on offense like he was in Orlando but he wasn't as great on defense while he was in Orlando but he showed in Denver and Somewhat in Portland that he can play both sides of the ball if he doesn't try to put everything on his offense which he shouldn't have to do on this team.

he is not special ... puhlease.

He has fallen off and has been an overrated defender but I hope he can have a Luol Deng type bounce back playing with Melo. Even if he is the 6th man that would be okay. He is capable of handling the ball and creating. I just want him for his offense because he is an upgrade over sasha.

no question. Sasha sucks but I guess he brings value because he pisses the sh1t out of the other teams.

Don't lie, you stole that from the post-game show hahahaaa.

I did

damn!

Sorry dude, didn't mean to blow up your spot like that.

you really did because I do not get MSG here in FLA. lol.

Galloway is way better at all of those. AA is not that good at either.

This should be galloways job to lose. Why is it that the vets need to start. Can't we start the player who deserves it? Don't care how much you are making. Its a team game now more than ever.
