Someone needs to tell me if there are any sweet Italian prospects coming up through the ranks that I need to be paying attention to, because Danilo Gallinari is the second most recent Italian to enter the league, the only other more recent one was Luigi Datome (RIP the sick career-high vid I made for him, I should re-upload that one). That’s a serious lack of Italo-dominance in an area where they should be more successful.
Did Andrea Bargnani ruin everything for everybody? I think he did.
I must say, I’m impressed with what Gallo is doing so far this year. Every year I think “this is the last year he’ll be able to do anything, there’s no way his body and athleticism can keep him productive”, but then I’m wrong. He’s scoring more than ever! And dunking while doing it! I doubt he continues on this path to 20 ppg on the year, but as I just said, I’m wrong all the time.
If he can keep drawing free-throws maybe it can happen. Sometimes its better to be unathletic, just ask Kyle Anderson.
