Wow. Very talented kid. I'd wish BC could grab someone like him or Nicholas Batum. But our draft pick will be probably be in the 19-30 range. Unless...BC can trade for a pick. PLZ BC i love this kid get'er done

Please. Please. DO NOT start this. And plus stop hating on Bargs he has been producing these past games. It does not matter how much he scores to me anymore. I'm just amazed of the willingness he has to even grab some rebounds these past few games. Especially, that Offensive Rebound in Washington where he just grabbed it from a wiz player and slammed it.

He he, I'm kidding buddy. Being totally sarcastic (though I don't know how to use green font). As poorly as Bargs has been playing this year, I'm still a fan, and wouldn't trade him. I'm just making fun because a similar thread started like this not too long ago and it was concluded that Italians and Greeks aren't NBA players, lol.

sometimes he looks lost, or the way he moves on the court isn't smooth

I've seen Danilo play quite a few times this year, I've made a point of going out of my way to watch him.

He's really really good. My favourite player in the draft right now.

I like it but .... not to be a TOP 10 pick, he is a bit overrated by Italian Media. Too much gazzeta.it sorry.

skill and ballers arent limited to north america.send our scouting staff over and when its time to pick, if he's on the board and hes the best talent available, we snatch the kid up.

Drop Iphone off bridge over 401

Seriously if you can afford the iphone you can pay someone to fix the problem.

I have never seen him play but there is no way he is better than Rose or Beasley.

"I think he's the No. 1 pick,'' an NBA scout says of Danilo.

The first player picked overseas?

"I think he's the best player in the draft,'' says the European-based scout, whose strong opinion of the 19-year-old Gallinari is in the minority but not without merit.

I seriously hope this isn't Gherardini. Gallinari has zero chance of going in the top 5, never mind first overall. Any scout who sees Gallinari as a better pick than Beasley has a serious problem evaluating talent. I will take way more skill over a slightly worse personality any day of the week.
