Alan Hahn,

The media was invited back tonight to watch the second practice, which was mostly scrimmaging and working on 5-on-5 situations.

First thing I have to say is Anthony Roberson's got a clip.

Dude missed one shot all day. He got off the bus on Friday and has done nothing but hit shots. While you're watching Gallo tomorrow, keep an eye out for No. 2, that's Roberson, a 6-2 guard from Florida. Had bids with Memphis, Golden State and Denver. Just couldn't stick. Might at the very least get himself an invite to training camp if he carries this over into games.

Can't stop being impressed with Gallinari. Summer League practice MVP. I mean we tawkin' practice! Berman's already got him as his early favorite for Rookie of the Year. But in all seriousness, he's definitely tougher than the usual Euro. Big Brandon Hunter, at 6-7 and 266, was banging him hard during the scrimmage and Gallinari kept going back at him. Foul. Foul. Foul.

Andiamo, Gallo!

Yeah, I know, it's not like he's being D'd up by Ron Artest. Just bloggin.....

Wilson Chandler is scraping paint off the ceiling. He had one ridiculous dunk on poor Paul Miller that started around the box with the ball way behind Will's head. Windmilled it through in traffic.

No N8 the Gr8 tomorrow for the game. The reigning MVP will show up tomorrow but won't play until probably Wednesday. Donnie Walsh arrived today and watched the second practice.

I tell you what I've had enough of seeing Danny Gans' face and Barry Manilow is always staring back at me outside my hotel window from this gigantic billboard hanging off the Las Vegas Hilton. But what is perhaps the most disturbing trend of ubiquity in this town is a girl named Sheri. She's on these little cards littered on the streets, on car windshields and she even has her own moving ad on the back of this truck that goes up and down The Strip.

Sheri or one of her friends can apparently be at your place in 10 minutes.

Apparently, Sheri needs you to donate clothes or something because she and her friends don't seem to have any.

Just bloggin....

Can't go out like that. i'll leave you with this anecdote:

Quentin Richardson took the mic for MSG Network yesterday and interviewed Gallinari. Some of you may remember I posted a video of Q-Rich's hilarious spot on Jimmy Kimmel from his Clipper years, when he rated his teammates' rides. If you haven't seen it, get yourself to YouTube and find it.

So anyway, Q sits down next to Gallo and asks him about this kissing routine the young Italian seems to have when he greets people he knows.

"Everybody I meet, I kiss them on each cheek," Danilo says.

Richardson seemed quite uncomfortable with this fact. "Really?"

Gallinari then quickly added, "But only the women."

"You and I will get along well then," Richardson replied

Roberson was a promising prospect coming out of HS when he joined the Gators in college. So far, he has been unable to stick with an NBA team. Even if he has a good summer, not sure how the Knicks make room for him with Duhon and Nate. He's always been a very good shooter and Im looking forward to seeing him perform this summer.

The Roosteri can fly
By MARC BERMAN

LAS VEGAS - Mike D'Antoni was nice enough to invite the writers to tonight's summer-league practice, which included a scrimmage.

On the eve of the summer-league opener, all eyes were on Danilo Gallinari, who looked just fine. "Gallo'' (Italian for rooster) really runs the court beautifully and has an excellent handle, drives splendidly with the left hand. He can bring the ball upcourt without a hitch..

He should fit in very well with D'Antoni's run and gun offense. On one play, he went coast to coast, outran the defense for a monster stuff.

Donnie Walsh arrived in Vegas and watched Gallinari scrimmage live for the first time. The coaching staff is most impressed with Gallinari's court awareness, which can't be taught. He can definitely find the open guy. His outside shot wasn't money tonight, but everyone whose seen him the past two weeks says he can really shoot it. David LeeDavid Lee said today he may be their best outside shooter this season.

He is going to get banged around a little bit on defense his first year. He has to get stronger. But he's 19.

Meanwhile, Renaldo BalkmanRenaldo Balkman could be out for tomorrow's opener as he got rammed in the jaw on defense after colliding Wilson ChandlerWilson Chandler driving to the bucket. He sat out the rest of the practice.

Stephon MarburyStephon Marbury also was in attendance and did running drills and agility drills but didn't scrimmage. He ran some of the sets and played a little shooting guard.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are definitely trying to steal Zach RandolphZach Randolph . Walsh doesn't feel comfortable just giving him up in a firesale to get under the cap. He wants a guy back who can play and, of course, whose contract expires before 2010. I disagree. I'd give up Randolph in a heartbeat for a second-rounder in the most important move that would get them under the cap. What would make the most sense is if the KnicksNew York Knicks can pry a 2010 first-round pick from the Clips. The Knicks will lose their 2010 first-rounder from the Marbury trade.

Walsh said it best when we thanked him for letting us watch the whole practice. "This isn't top-secret,'' Walsh said.

In the past, everything in Knickland was top-secret

This is anthony roberson.



This kid was dominating during pre-season for Denver one year then, BANG.....he didn't even get offered a contract from anybody.

He can shoot, that's a given. He's a damn good player fellas. I'd love to see this guy make the team.

Don't sleep, but Donnie Walsh has quietly chosen an awesome bunch of guys to play for the Knicks in Summer league.

Roberson will be a player to watch this week. It's a given that he can shoot, but what else does he do to help a team?

King unless you have a 5 star prediction rating here , you won't be heard.

Maybe if you post more predictions that come true you will be heard.

Roberson is not a shooting guard. He's a PG that shoots well.

I dunno if I agree with that. If anything he was a combo guard at Florida. He was never much of a ball mover or playmaker at UF. But he could shoot and he could score and he wasn't afraid to shoot. THat's what hurt him in the draft

I just hope this guy gets his time. Collins needs his too but Roberson is really a special player. I really hope he can display it this week.

Collins would be a good assistant coach for a college team.

VERY well.

I remember him from College. He WAS lights out...and then *poof*. disappeared. I didnt even know he was ever on an NBA roster.

I also deserve some credit for noticing Roberson. And I can provide a link to my comments on him. They are in the official summer league thread:


"I'm really pulling for Anthony Roberson to make the team. He could be this year's Russel Walker Jr."
