I hear ya.
pardon the delay, I'm muti-tasking over here at work...
He has a very nice shot. For a player his size it is already elite.
He can play D, and has intangibles there, to go with 4th Q clutch ability.
that's an opinion, I've seen him get his ankles cracked, let defenders drive by and give up too much position because he's too slow.
He has the ability and drive to take over and win games, which he has.
When I see him drive he looses his handle most of the time. I even see how he tries to masked his poor driving skills by taking Hugh steps to the basket...which in many cases throws his light frame off balance. he has no ball handle.
Even after a poor start, showing grit and on court class for a young player.
I never really questioned his heart (except for going inside more) but he will need much more than that to win. I'll be mad too if my game was sucking and the opposition was getting the best of me.
He can be an elite slasher.
Just about anyone can be (in the NBA)...but as the days go on I don't see that in Gallo, and I'm sure you don't either. Be honest not optimistic.
He can pass pretty well for such a big man, and already can also steal and block pretty well for his position.
What are you seeing?? are you talking about his days in that Italy PSAL league?
And he's done and can do all this in a 6'10+ frame.
Delusional, but hey, that's your prerogative. I'm hardly seeing any of this, no more than the average rated player in the NBA.
All of this is fact. Not saying your concerns and observations are even wrong, but you can't totally write him off as you have.
The fact is we will do better as a fairly runned team without him. The Fact is that most Gallo fans don't even see his ties to the coach and his lack of skills is going to be a serious problem to the team.
He's something of a mixed bag right now.
He's confused alright...
But he's had 1 full season and he's what, 21? Maybe 22? Can't bust his chops like he's out up stank us numbers all over the place and is like 27.
I've heard that excuse since he's got here. I think Fields and walker is better then Gallo, so let them shine and get rid of the coaches godson so we don't have to worry about any favoritism, his services are not all that valuable. His one deminsional style of play can be done by others on the team...as you can see. He will just be a distraction.[/quote]
You seriously underrate Gallo's ball-handling ability. It's retarded to say he has no handle. That's just misinformation.
He can be a 3 pt launching point- foward in the NBA. He just needs time. You facking people are so impatient. Let him get comfortable playing the game at this level. We will start to see more and more of what he can do as he gets more acclimated to the pro game. In the mean time stop hatin'.
Remember, Gallo grew up playing the PG position. You need to be able to handle the ball to run an offense right?
Nate Robinson of all people, in an interview during a summer league game last year, said of Gallo that he could be a PG, that he handles the ball and, can run the offense like one. That's pretty high praise coming from a peer, even considering the source.
