And then he gains confidence and his jumper improves and he even hits the open 3. But the point is, he should be a slash and drive 1st player, only taking the jumper when open and same for the 3.
I think you are 100% right but have to wonder if he hoists up those threes as a result of the system he plays in (not an original thought, many others have pointed this out in this thread and others). I think he just needs to keep the 3 in his repetoire, but use it more as a way to draw the defender up and then blow by him. Also, I think he is really great without the ball and finishes well when in transition. I wonder how many plays are actually drawn up for him? Of those, I wonder how many allow him to really leverage that ability to drive and finish at the hoop.
Regardless, I'm loving having Lee, Chandler, and Gallo on my fantasy squad. I was mocked when I kept Chandler as my keeper (8th round pick). I grabbed Gallo as the last pick in the draft, so he will be my 13th round keeper next year. Sweet. I say, go new york, go new york, go!!
