Yeah so is everybody. That being said I really like Danillo. Oh and honestly, the only clips you're going to get in this thread are the same ones that have been posted in this forum already (I'm guessing?). I think you might have to accept the fact that there are people who like him, and you don't agree (nor should you have to!)

Well, they should like him based on what they've seen -- so I'd like to see it.
 
Alrighty, well your best bet is this mix. I like it because unlike a lot of youtube mixes, this one will show you more than him dunking. He looks good running the floor and cutting to the basket, but it also showcases his passing and shooting (both off the dribble and off screens). I believe it was Dumpy who noticed that he does dribble the ball a bit high (even for someone with his height) and pointed that out to me first. You can also see that this is a kid who plays with passion for the game. You could also take into consideration that he's been playing professional bball for some time and is the go-to guy on his team, and then there is the fact that he's only 19.

That's what I saw, but by all means you can take something different from this. What's your opinion?
 
hey... these youtube highlights are really a fan's POV... of what he wants you to see... u have to watch a full game to get a concept of what any of these rookies can do... or actually have to wait till they play a game in the NBA... preseason doesnt count as well!
 
I like the fact that he can hit 3's.
That was a nice mix, showed different things he can do.
From that mix, it seems like he's a slightly better version of Boki...

not a lot, and from the season before last, but 3 and 4 remind me of something that Vince or Wade would do.
 
Not to be CpawFan(Skip Bayless jr.) but some of thoose plays were a lil flukeish.

Im glad hes efficient from 3, he can run the break, and hit his free throws.

If only Vince would run, wed have a pretty good break fastbreak lineup.

I'm sorry that explaining that you didn't know what you where talking about makes you compare me to a moron. How can I be Skip when I don't make things up?
 
Okay, what needs to be called out here, is how good this kid is at 19.........dribbling with BOTH HANDS!
He clearly shoots lefty, but he almost looked MORE comfortable with his left.
I looked at these vids a ways back, and was very impressed, considering his age, but I missed the ball handling.
That is something the NETS have been deficient in the past couple years.
I would not be disappointed with him at the 10 spot.

Not so amazing for Nets fans

I remember reading this in SLAM, in an article (by the same guy, David Zirin, of course) about Kenny Anderson and his Atlanta Krunk team.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>When I was young and too stupid to know better, I played a pick up game with Anderson. If I close my eyes, I can still feel the eruptions of goose bumps. He would have been 14, already renowned, already revered. Less than 6 feet tall and he weighed about as much as my thigh, but could do things on a court that I just had never seen.

It wasn’t so much that he was quick. The Suns’ Leandro Barbosa is quick. Anderson was more like Neo in the Matrix.Whenever he needed to, he would disappear and then reappear at his leisure, just in time to block a shot, steal a ball, or cross someone out of their Converse Weapons.

Anderson played that day with a bemused smile. The whole game was just too easy. At one point I was guarding him on a switch. He casually dribbled toward the elbow. I was sure he’d try to cross me over, break my ankles, and leave me dead as carrion. I got low to the ground, wide base, legs spread, just like my Jersey basketball camp drilled with the repetition of a metronome. Just when I waited for the move, he flipped the ball up with his left hand from about 14 feet away and it gently fell in. I looked over to my buddy Ra and said, “Damn! I didn’t know he could shoot so well lefty.” Ra looked at me funny, replying, “Dave, he’s left handed. He’s been playing this whole game shooting and passing with his right hand.” Remember: 14 years old.</div>

That story still amazes me and gets me all giddy.

Boki can't handle the ball, get his own shot or pass at all.

If the Nets take Gallinari, I'd love for him to be able to do what Hedo Turkoglu does for the Magic - punish teams from three, create offense with his passing, make teams defend him by getting to open spots on the floor, exploit his size advantage on defense by guarding smaller players and generally causing havoc whenever he's in the game.

You can never forget Hedo is on the floor, because he'll just kill you. That's what Gallinari needs to be for whatever team drafts him. The all-purpose assassin.
 
I haven't been very high on this guy, but if he can add about 15 to 20 lbs of muscle and develop just a few post moves I think he can be pretty effective.

I don't like him as a 3, because I think he'll get destroyed by the likes of Lebron, Pierce, Igoudala, Butler, Moon, Lewis and Granger.

As a semi-perimeter focused 4 I think he can do quite well. Can be kind of like Jamison or Nowitzki.

Still worry about his ability to defend any position in the NBA.
 
Great relay on the Anderson story Pegs, never heard that...awesome.
As for Galinari, interesting analysis Netted, I'll have to recalculate my draft dream list for Galinari's potential positional deficiencies.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ak30 @ Jun 23 2008, 09:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Watch 3 and 4 and tell me he is not athletic.</div>

There are some plays that I watch of him that make him look super athletic, but then there are others where he looks like he can barely dunk.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (#1_Yinka_Dare_Fan @ Jun 24 2008, 10:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Ghoti, I don't think he has the shot that Hedo possesses.</div>

Don't buy into all these simplistic player comparisons. No two players are alike, and people compare the way players look more than how they play, anyway.

I am talking about what kind of role Gallinari could fill if he reaches his potential.
 
I just found out this guy only averages 4 rbs a game! at 6'10 in italy!! gtfo!

i dont want this clown on my team. i hope the knicks do take him and save us the embarassment.

He averages 5.7 RPG in the Italian League as a SF.

I don't really know what it means or how it applies to the NBA, but that's the right stat.
 
^^ another andrea bargnani is what i think its going to mean.
 
Bargnani is no where near the same player as Gallinari. Bargnani is the softest player in the NBA, both physically and mentally. He is afraid of contact. Gallinari basically lives on the FT line. No comparison. None.
 
The clips in this thread do not impress me... high dribble, low release point on jumpers and a bunch of moves that will rarely work in the NBA. Big deal.

Hedo does bring the ball up and creates on many occasions, as Gallinari will. But one of the most valuable thing he does for Orlando is knock down the 3. I'm not sure Danilo will be as prolific as Hedo is.

What makes you say that?

He's a good shooter now and he's 19.

I don't see that. I see an amazing number of similarities between him and Turkoglu. There's nothing wrong with his release point at all. It's perfect for him - remember, he's 6'10. He doesn't have a high dribble the whole time - you're overly stressing one play, I think, because that's the only time I saw it - one play. And you can look at Turk's highlights, you'll see it from him a couple times too. No big deal. A bunch of moves that rarely work in the NBA? How's that? Since when don't pump fakes, quick spin moves, and a hesitation move not work in the NBA?

Oh, and keep in mind with all these comparisons to Turkoglu - Dan's 19...while Turk's 29.
