I am not saying that he is going to be a Dirk like player but merely stating the fact that he did not stay in the US over the summer does not suffice as a reason to call him lazy.
As far as the bad habits are concerned I would like to offer you a hyothesis: What if he went back to Italy, his mind set on working on his post up game (as his range is pretty decent for a player of his size already) and once training camp started he was asked to stroke it from distance again because of Amare will free up space on the perimeter? Of course it would take him some time to get back into shape.
I am not claiming this to be true, but I want to point out that there are different reasons why things might be what they are AT THE MOMENT and we are all no insiders.
As a fan you might have a legitimate point once the season is well under way and the situation is still the same. This is only PRE-season.
@ Real NY Baller? Which ones do you like?
Gallo MUST expand his game beyond just 3pt shooting for him to properly compliment Amare.
I think the high propensity he had for throwing them up from behind the arc was partly to do w recovering from the back injury, settling and that the offense encourages launching from deep. These factors created a sort of feedback loop resulting in what we saw from him, leading to the misconceptions we've seen from a lot of posters.
