Where is that thread with people claiming who we should have drafted over Gallo!
Joe Alexander - 3.5pts 2.3rebs
Jerryd Bayless - 1.5pts 0.5ast
Anthony Randolph - 5.6pts 4.8rebs
DJ Augistine - 8.9pts 3.5ast
Eric Gordan - 3.9pts 1.2ast
Brook Lopez - 6.8pts 5.7rebs which is boosted by 1 great game behind 8 average to below average ones.
At least there healthy though right?
Whats going to happen is every time one of these guys have a great game its going to be brought up how we should have drafted that guy instead of Gallo. Case in point Lopez recently had a great game vs ATL so he is brought up and we forget the hype around Bayless & Randolph during the draft. Then when/if Bayless has a great game then Lopez & Randolph & Alexander etc.. will be forgotten and Bayless should have been the one drafted. Then when Randolph has a great game then Bayless & Lopez etc.. will be forgotten and Randolph should have been the one drafted. The cycle will continue.
Just like lotto, you got to be in it to win it. All talk about Gallinari's abilities are meaningless. You don't give brownie points for guys who can't get into the game.
Don't try to spin it. Bayless is putting up 1.5pts .5ast and has played only 2 games. He can't get burn over Steve Blake and Sergio Rodriguez. Probably because they are lighting him up in practice. While we know the only reason why Gallo isn't playing is because he has been hurt. Bayless hasn't gotten one min in 7games while healthy.
Randolph has played in only 5games vs weaker teams like Mem,Sac,Mem,Minny,Lac. I don't even need to get into Alexander,Gordan etc..
If your going to knock Gallo then stand by the hype of who you thought should have been picked over him. You aren't going to get away with hoping from one player to the next whenever they have a good game.
What is worse, a player who isn't playing because he is injured or players who aren't playing because they may not be that good or ready. Or player who are getting burn but aren't doing anything with it.
