Ok, well lets take a closer look at the numbers. First off, you say that Gallo sucks at blocking.
Gallo blocked 58 shots, and almost averages a block per game. He is 12th in blocks in his draft class and is 4th in blocks for all forwards coming in his draft class.
Anthony Randolph , GSW 33 22.7 51 92 1.54 3.27 .55
2 Jason Thompson , SAC 75 31.4 73 279 .97 1.49 .26
3 Anthony Tolliver , GSW-POR 46 31.0 33 128 .72 1.11 .26
4 Danilo Gallinari , NYK 81 33.9 58 191 .72 1.01 .3
5 Nicolas Batum , POR 37 24.8 25 83 .68 1.31 .3
6 Michael Beasley , MIA 78 29.8 49 221 .63 1.01 .22
7 Marreese Speights , PHI 62 16.4 34 152 .55 1.61 .22

Thank you for proving my point.
1. You were unable to disprove the fact that Gallinari shoots 42% from the field, despite being 6-10 and having a height advantage over most of his opponents.

2. You also were unable to disprove the fact that Gallinari is a crappy rebounder and shotblocker, averaging 4.9 rebounds in 34 MPG and .7 blocks in 34 MPG.

3. Brook Lopez, Robin Lopez, Anthony Randolph, Jason Thompson, and Roy Hibbert all shoot better percentages, average more rebounds, and block more shots than Gallinari. Eric Gordon also shoots a better percentage and scores more points.
Brook Lopez >>>>> Danilo Gallinari
18.8 PPG,
8.6 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, 49.9% fg
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/brook_lopez/
Robin Lopez >> Danilo Gallinari
8.4 ppg,
4.9 rebounds, 1 block, 58% fg, 19.3 MPG
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/robin_lopez/Robin Lopez averages more rebounds and blocks in 15 MPG less than Gallinari. I guess Gallo got exposed for being a Gallina.
Anthony Randolph >>> Danilo Gallinari
11.6 ppg,
6.5 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 44.3% fg, 22.7 MPG
Randolph averages more rebounds and blocks and shoots a better percentage, in 12 fewer MPG.
Jason Thompson > Danilo Gallinari
12.5 ppg,
8.5 rebounds, 1 block, 47% fg, 31.4 MPG
Thompson averages more rebounds and blocks and shoots a better percentage, in 3 less MPG.
Roy Hibbert > Danilo Gallinari
11.7 ppg,
5.7 rpg, 1.6 BPG, 49.5% fg 25 MPG
Hibbert averages more rebounds and blocks in 9 fewer MPG, and he shoots a better FG%.
Eric Gordon > Danilo Gallinari
16.9 ppg, 3 assists, 1.1 steals,
44.9% fg, 37% 3 PT
4. You were unable to disprove the fact that Gallinari is nothing more than a 3 point specialist.
Gallinari's field goal attempts, in the 2009-2010 season: 1,052
Gallinari's 3 pt attempts, in the 2009-2010 season: 560
53% of his attempts were from 3, and another 15% of his attempts were with his foot on the line, or with his feet one step above the 3 pt line.
In other words, 68% of Gallinari's shot attempts were from at least 20-28 feet away.
5. Gallinari = 3 PT Specialist
