Danilo Question to be Answered at Training Camp
By now you’ve all heard that Gallinari’s back is still an issue. How hurt is he you ask? No one seems to really know.
One thing is for certain – the team will take extra care of the rookie to make sure he’s 100% before allowing him into any game action. Even before the injury, it would have taken time for the kid to get extended minutes, and that time frame may just have increased.
Having watched some of his youtube highlights (of course take them with a grain of salt) he seemed to have a little more explosion than in his summer league action. He seemed able to elevate and attack the rim more. I figured it was his getting used to the NBA speed that caused him the sluggish first half in Vegas, but who’s to say that he wasn’t hurt all game and fought through it for a productive 2nd half? I’d like him even more if that were the case.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t think he’s a plus leaper, it’s just an observation.
We’ll know soon enough. But I understand, with this and the Randolph non- trade, it’s okay to be antsy.
