Wait, what??? Danillo doesn't slip out of the lottery....Originally Posted by JapanAir21
Danillo, sorry,
Yeah, there was so many more options for NYK, and Danillo is something they could have gotten late in the first.
Point is, they could have gotten a lot more with their pick. Just pointing out the obvious.Becuase super coordinated 6'9 dudes who canrun the pointdribble,reboundshoot 3's andblock shotsplay soft grow on trees, the Knicks made anexcellenthorrible selection with Gallo. He fits their style of play and if he can mange to stay healthy will donumbersnothing.
What were these options you speak of dude?TGB.
Gordon, Augustin, Bayless (who would have been an EXCELLENT fit), Brook Lopez, Anthony Randolph.
Just a few who were all projected lottery picks. I didn't know 2 rpg and .1 bpg qualify you as being a shotblocking, rebounding stud.
Not to mention his half-an assist per game.
He just doesn't seem like a playmaker to me. He'll hit an open shot sure, but he didn't show ME much last year, NYK fans may think differently, but dude wasn't healthy.
And if you're a ROOKIE and you're not healthy? That's not a good-sign.
He's not a bust, I'm not calling him that, but he's not what the doctor ordered.
That should mean a lot coming from me.
Numbers wise Derrick Rose was the worst defensive point guard in the league do I believe he will end up being Steve Nash? Hell no.
OJ Mayo was the worst defensive 2 guard according to the numbers do I think he will end up being that for his whole career. Absolutely not.
As far as his numbers goes it was very clear Dantoni is working him slowly into the offense, he used less possessions than any of the other rookie players, butper 100 possessions he was the most efficient scorer of any rookie player. In Europe he was a playmaker and dominated, I don't think it's a stretch tosay he can do this once he gets his health situation right.
Gordon, Augaustin, and Bayless are not pure points I don't think Dantoni wants combo gaurds runnning his offense.
Brook Lopez?
