If Gallinari tears it up in summer league, and has a few big games early in the season, these are the guys that are going to be over-rating him and saying he is future star and that he's untradeable and all that.
It was the same thing with Channing Frye. Everyone wanted Gerald Greene because he slipped, when we picked Frye everyone was going bonkers, I was the one telling you that Frye would work well in our system and that he was NBA ready but no there were still haters. Then after Frye overachieved and was one of the best rookies, those same people were saying that Frye is untradeable, some even said they wouldn't deal him for KG!!! I remember even though I was the one campaigning for people to be open-minded about him when we drafted him I was also the first one saying we should trade him while his value was high. Of course we waited and instead we got Zach Randolph.
I promise you, and you can quote me, I will never like Gallinari.
If he proves me wrong, good for him, but I will never like him.
You got to be kidding me., right?
We need to support our players and not rob them of their confidence. It would be hard for anyone to improve under those conditions.
I admit., I didn't like the pick either but not for the same reasons as most. I never seen him play so., I couldn't say that he wasn't going to be good on the NBA level. I just didn't want a forward as of yet. Everyone's talking about getting rid of Marbury and even Nate so.., okay. If thats the case.., why not get a guard or BPA guard? That was more or less why I didn't like the pick but.., I would never boo a kid just asking for a chance. The way I felt watching that is.., "New York done it again. We are going to kill this kids confidence so much that he probably wont improve and, then say.., oh look at him.., he garbage." We are already making up derogatory names for him like "Big Cock". Sounds familiar?
How can you say "you'd never like him" no matter what he does? Some of you "knick fans" take things way to seriously. Its not his fault we drafted him but.., we did. So support him. I, for one, like the discussion of this thread and appreciate the link. Its making me feel better and better about the pick. I just don't want there to be a shoot out between him and Chandler for the SF spot.
