Theres no such thing as right now.
Every GM in the NBA would take Gallinari over Chandler, no question.
Chandler is very limited.
Gallinari gets no touches on offense, you can't blame the inconsistency all on him.
Chandler took 150 3pt shots...shot 26% from 3pt...this is our 3? A 3 in this offense needs to hit a 3...even Grant Hill develop his range in Phoneix, when he was purely a midrange guy. Chandler's jumpshot is weak.
5 rebounds in 35 minutes....Gallinari does the same thing with no vertical leap. Chandler has all these hops, but doesn't use it. He's a waste of time, and a waste of space on this team.
Chandler takes 2.5 free throw attempts per game.
Gallinari takes 3.4 free throw attempts per game in LESS minutes.
Gallinari is the better help defender, and more aware defender. Chandler is the better post defender by default, but Gallinari can learn that part of the game easily because he was never a 3pt shooter or defender in Europe, and he came to New York strong in both attributes.
Chandler averages like .75 blocks per game...thats Eddy Curry status...since the when the **** he became a shot blocker? You're making shit up. .75 is probably the highest Chandler will ever finish. he's not an aggressive player, thus will never be the shot blocker you think he is.
Chandler a future STAR?!??!?!?!?! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Paul, you're done for the week.
The last few games and the start of teh season have been the only times were Gallo was impressive, tried to take over games, and mixed it up on offense while playing D and rebounding.
I know CHandler's 3 point shooting sucks I NEVER COMPARED THEIR OUTSIDE SHOT! So who is really making stuff up here?
Chandler's game is to drive to the basket consistently and post up, he has strength and athleticism that he can use for his advantage.
Gallo should drive to the basket to force defenders to play him back to free him up for jump shots...Gallo has done a great job at realizing that he can draw fouls like a beast.
We are now comparing someone in Chandler who started the season off terribly, then improved over the course of the season, and now he is hurt so you will obviously bash Chandler and see Gallo as victor because Gallo has FINALLY been playing good when Gallo was horrible for a month straight, worse than Chandler's cold streak in my opinion due to the embarissing decision making.
Chandler is out for the season, Gallo is healthy and improving....for most of this season Chandler has helped....Gallo had spurts especially on offense, only consistent on defense and rebounding.
Once Chandler got out of his slump in the start due to him not practicing at all from surgery, his game picked up and he was a force whether you choose to ignore the past or not.
Chandler always faces the best offensive opponents, thus making him the best defender on the team, have you watched his matchups all season? Kobe Bryant, etc...that explains it.
As I said...
RIght Now Chandler is better....the experience, defense, athleticism, and ability to drive to the basket make him better overall.
It is close but CHandler gets the nod.
In the future...even next year, I can see Gallo being better....but Gallo has to learn his game and consistently post up and consistently drive towards the basket, so many games he failed because he just bricked three point shots...it came to a point, during his cold streak(rookie wall) where he was actually hurting our team.
Chandler learned it by driving and posting....Gallo learned it recently by not bricking three point shots that he was taking excessively when he should have been driving.
You were the one that said that Gallo was known for driving to the basket in Europe, and he never did that untill recently....so the whole season he did not even use his strengths.... Chandler has been more consistent this season
