But other than that, gallo doesn't have 1 allstar or Allstar type of player on the floor with him. and of courst like most 21 year old kids, they have things to work on, but I am excited with what I see so far...

word, and you know coaches are game-planning to stop the kid. gallo has got a dude draped on him all game long. he's the only guy on the team that consistently commands attention from the defense. with his jumper now established in the NBA, he's a perfect piece to help spacing on offense. not a coincidence that when his teammates drive on his side of the court, they are rarely doubled by wing players. but that doesn't count as an assist so let's pretend it's not part of his impact. again, like both of us have already agreed on -- kid needs work: strength, aggression, assertiveness. at least i feel confident he'll do the work. he looks bigger this year. hopefully in another offseason he'll get stronger and he'll get better teammates. then what? it's gonna be scary.

Oh yea, he is never left by opposing teams, the only guy teams will leave him for is Al harrington because they know there is zero chance Al is looking to pass the rock..

haha -- too true.

Great shooter.

Willing to play Defense.

OK rebounder.

decent passer

Gallo isn't...

A point forward.

A great perimeter defender (especially on smaller SG's but that's to be expected)

A natural driving PF.

A post up player.

*** All of this can change in time but as of right now, this is my assessment of Gallo.
