Fraschilla: Gallinari Great Fit for Knicks, Nets

[pegs]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Fran Fraschilla, ESPN’s international draft expert, thinks the Italian flavor of the New York area makes both the Knicks, who pick sixth, and the Nets, who pick tenth, ideal landing spots for AJ Milano’s Danilo Gallinari. Fraschilla adds Brooklyn, with its large Italian population, would love the 6′-10″ forward. Does Fraschilla know that nearly one in five Jerseyans is Italian? Capece?</div>

Fraschilla likes Mayo, Danilo - Marc Berman - New York Post

Um, it's "Capisci?" ....except Americans have been taught to drop the "-i" at the end...

Still, I wouldn't mind Gallinari at all. That'd be pretty sweet.

Fraschilla is a bright guy, but imo the best fit for NY would be D.J Augustin. He would be a perfect Pg to develop with the arrival of D'antoni and the players that can play uptempo

He also said Mickael Gelabale was going to be an All-Star.

He falls in love with players he scouts.

A players ethnicity and fan factor should be pretty low on the list of priorities at this point in our rebuilding process. If the kid can play he could be a martian for all I care.

Are you kidding? There's no ****ing way I want a martian on this team. They're all soft and play piss-poor defense.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The skinny:The Knicks want a lead guard who can push the ball and hit an open jumper. But if Rose, Mayo and Bayless are off the board, they'll have a tough choice to make.

I had Danilo Gallinari here in the first two versions of this mock draft, thanks to his Italian ties with Mike D'Antoni.

However, a Suns source told me that D'Antoni wasn't a huge fan of Gallinari when he was shown some tape during the season, which has made me seriously reconsider that forecast.

The Knicks could gamble on one of the next two point guards on the board. D.J. Augustin is a great leader, a fantastic playmaker and the closest thing to Steve Nash in this draft. That will be a plus for D'Antoni. Russell Westbrook is also intriguing. He's a top-notch athlete, a tenacious defender and an emerging playmaker.

The other choice might be to go with the best player available. In my mind, that would be</div>

Who wrote that? I said that the Bulls should take Michael Beasley or Derrick Rose, and now almost ever draft site is saying that! COPY CATS.

And reading that, he didn't even say Augustin was the best fit, he just said they COULD take him.
