Kiki Back from Italy

SportsTicker · Mar 25, 2008

Danilo Gallinari, 6'9", 19 years old and probably the first international pick this draft. Nets would have to get lucky in the draft to get him.

In a Sunday game in Milan, Gallinari had his best game of the season: 28 points on 8 for 14 shooting, including 3 for 5 from downtown, 9 for 9 at the line, along with three boards and an assist.

LeBron James of Europe ...yeh right, he does remind me of Boki or Kleiza and here's hoping he is another Kleiza

danxcr · Mar 25, 2008

hope so... but i want more of a pure shooter on our team... something we desperately lack... a kyle korver or mike miller type player

Belarus · Mar 25, 2008

we're not getting him. he's top 8 in this draft.

What makes you think we don't have a chance at getting <=8th pick?

we're making PO!

if not, we still will be higher in standings than bulls or pacers. therefore 11-10th pick max.

Angelo1405 · Mar 25, 2008

the guys face scares me. it looks to me like hes wearing a mask. bad for the kids and family. i say no. lol just kidding. as long as he can shoot/freethrows im good.

Belarus · Mar 25, 2008

hey, Angelo1405, I wander what happened to that lady in green afterwards?

cpawfan · Mar 25, 2008

Gallinari should be very good, but Kiki's track record with international players isn't very good

o.iatlhawksfan · Mar 25, 2008

Gallinari isn't that great, I'm not high on this guy at all.

I just feel like breaking this down.

Nene- Bust. (My opinion, at least.)
Tskitishvili - Bust.
Sani Becirovic - Who? (Did some research, 26 years old. Hasn't come over yet.)
Axel Hervelle - Who are these guys? (24 years old Belgium PF. Hasn't come over yet, either.)
Ricky Sanchez - Hasn't come to the NBA yet, traded to Philly.
Linas Kleiza - DING DING DING! We finally have success!

So...2 misses, 1 hit, and 3 undecided. Meanwhile, Thornski's got 1 hit, 3 misses.

That's a combined 2 hits, 5 misses...and 3 that haven't come to the NBA yet.

danxcr · Mar 25, 2008

kiki should just go to the ncaa tourny with riley and watch davidson then fly over to watch WKU...

hehe

GMJ · Mar 25, 2008

DE makes him seem like Batum who applies himself a bit more. There's really no top 10 pick I'm afraid of drafting, outside of Hibbert (and to some extent, Randolph)

Jizzy · Mar 25, 2008

thats not fair, he gets a free trip to italy. i wish i was associated with the national basketball league

Just turn the sound off.

This guy is a beast, the Nets could have a killer frontcourt rotation with Boone/Sean/Krstic/Gallinari for years to come.

J.S · Mar 26, 2008

is Batum chop liver? anyway, we might actually be able to draft him at least. EuroBron will be long gone.

Tskitishvili - worst top five pick in last decade

Nene - not a great pick, but injuries deprive us of making a real determination.

Kleiza - excellent pick at 27.

Hervell, Sanchez and Becirovic -- late second round picks who he took risks on -- cant measure a GM on his late second round picks. Becirovic was a risk...but a smart one. He had been compared to Petrovic before he blew out his knee.

http://hoopshype.com/general_managers/kiki_vandeweghe.htm

About the same as Stefanski. Krstic a terrific pick at #24, but Drejer at #51 and Ilic at #43 were pretty bad too. Only really good late second round foreign pick in the last decade was Ginobili.

Pretty much looks like a Boki highlight reel. What I'm interested in seeing most is his shooting and defense.

Kid Chocolate is obsessed with Axel Hervelle.

Kleiza played college ball at Missouri and Drejer played college ball at Florida. Neither counts as drafting an international player as the player categories are conventionally termed college, high school and international.

Also, Sanchez was a #35 pick, not a late second round pick.

You forgot about our favorite European bust, Zoran! He sucked.

Why is it that everytime I see a video of a European player the music is like they are straight outta Harlem? Anyway, I don't like this guy he looks like another Nachbar. We don't need another guy who thinks he can dunk and stuff we just need a pure shooter. In the European Leagues the only way I'm impressed is if you average about 10 3's a game. Anyone can be the "European LeBron James" in Italy playin against those scrubs.

Kind of how I feel about him from that clip... wasn't overly impressed.
