Fields is playing better than Gallo on both ends and isn't the whole purpose of the preseason to evaluate who should play. I wonder if Gallo was on any other team where his godfather wasn't the coach whether Fields wouldn't be getting the nod to start on opening day.
:agreed:
Well put. If Gallo was coming off the bench to add a "peremeter-offense",
he would keep adding more dimension to his overall performance like Fields
has been doing from SLG to preseason game.
Earning his way into the lineup.

He needs another dimension to his game. I'm confident that it's there, but he doesn't seem to be harnessing it just yet...
He needs to limit his 3 point shots to 5 a game and instead focus on driving to the basket and establishing himself as a legitimate post player.
He can't hit 3's if people know all he's gonna do his shoot 3's...the 3 point shot is best used as a complement to a player's game.
Gallo has the ability to be more than a Kyle Korver. But if he doesn't work on his game, that's all he really is.
:gony:
I watched all of the above in Gallo's first full NBA season (1-11 start)
to Gallo's disgusting Christmas day game. That was enough to prove Gallo
is a big project like Anthony Randolph.
Since then Gallo added nothing to his performance in these preseason games.
Gallo consistently shows he dont know how or when to line-up to shoot the 3-ball.
I never was impressed with the few plays Gallo make in the first half of a
game, and Gallo's disapearing act in the 2nd half of a game. My conclusion?
If Gallo is a Knick starter this season I dont have any confidence in the
Knicks winning above 42% of their games.
The positives I see out of the mess we made this 2010 offseason, we can
actually make a decent hustling bench-lineup of Douglas, Walker, Fields,
with a peremeter shooting Gallo hustling with these guys on both sides of the
court to become more than a 1 demensional player, making us a 9+ man rotation team.
