Will be interesting to see his ball handling under pressure and whether he can guard some of the better PGs. I also believe that he will do much better offensively on a team that moves the ball and allows him opportunities to get open shots. He is not a great 1/1 player.
Did research on him when I heard he was playing on our SL team. Saw some local press conferences he did in college after games and for local TV shows. Smart and humble kid, who never said the wrong thing.
From what I saw when looking at video of him in college, he was part of a pretty well disciplined offense. The were close to upsetting UConn in the first round- and I think he outscored the UConn guards. Who knows- if they had beaten them and gotten some more exposure, Galloway might have been picked up in the second round.
Don't think he is a traditional PG. Fisher commented that "All of our guards in our system are combo guards," today, so in that sense, Galloway can play "PG," but he is more of a SG in my opinion.
We have a number of less established relatively young players to root for and watch develop now: Hardaway, Larkin, Langston, Early, Wear, Cole, and Acy. Hopefully we add a few others.
Jason Smith, Prigioni, and Calderon are players who should do well with newer players, in that they are willing to move the ball around.
Inexperience players need to play in a lineup where they can succeed if they put in the effort and where they don't feel hesitant to do things because they have to defer to the vets all the time.
Hopefully our young players get the chance to play freely so the Knicks can determine what part they will play in the future of the team.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
