Gallo was a fine defender before he lost all his mobility, now he very much sucks

For the upcoming season at Maccabi he will need to prove that his shooting is legit, that’s the primary offensive skillset the NBA will want to see from him.
Ok just found out Gallo was Italian league mvp at 19 His stats were pretty good in Euroleague too, damn, I had no idea. Makes much more sense than he went 6 in such a draft now, I always thought that was too high.

Gallinari was an incredible prospect, his career was just ruined by injuries ever since he played in the 2008 Summer League.
Second best Euro prospect after Luka in the last 15 years imo.

that's what I've been trying to figure out too. from the sounds of it he's just falling victim to the general negatives that get applied to international kids

Ya from the highlights, he looks plenty quick and agile for being a legit 6'8. The form on the shot looks fantastic. But I can't tell if he's just a quicker Saric, or does he have a more versatile game than that.
The highlights look great. But I know that doesn't mean much.

When teams are able to bring him in for workouts he’s going to shoot up the board again. Honestly this is such a weak class I could easily see him going top 3.

yeah was thinking that too. But i was wondering if him being on the radar to begin with was more how Bender got put on the radar after KP lit up his rookie year.

This is what makes me hesitant. Because I remember the Bender hype.
I'm really curious what his game is like. Is he another guy like Luka who can essentially be your PG (obviously not on the same level)? Or is he more kind of just a jack of all trades, master of none like a Saric?
From the quick highlights, looks like a dude with great form on his jumper, moves very well for his size with solid lift and seems to be a good playmaker as well. Just hard to really get a grasp for play style from these short highlights.

a lot closer to Saric than Luka
i'd compare him to neither tho, i see more of Dzanan Musa, with maybe a better physical profile.

in this draft would you consider that a top ten guy?

Porzingis was always projected high and played 22minpg in ACB, you got it completely wrong
