The talent is there but a few strong but meaningless games at the end of the season where the opposition might not be where it would be earlier in the season, isn't a stop the presses kind of stretch. I hope he stays healthy and has a great season, much much too late to say we shoulda kept him given the many games he's missed.
yes he is injury prone and it's a real shame. that said i sometimes wonder if he had been able to stay in new york would he have still eventually blown out his knee and missed as many games over two seasons as he did? he is already twenty-six and is entering the prime of his career. i sure hope he can stay healthy so we can see what more he can do. i think shaw was in over his head out in denver and that didn't help.
He might have blown out his knee but the doctor botched the surgery and that was why he had to stay out so long. I don't think that would have happened in NY. But it is a credit to him that he came back as strongly as he did.
Gallo also had back problems before he ever played a game for the Knicks. In one way or another the poor kid was snake bit.
Yeah I remember there were reports his back was messed up before the draft.
