I don't really know what it means or how it applies to the NBA, but that's the right stat.
Bargnani is no where near the same player as Gallinari. Bargnani is the softest player in the NBA, both physically and mentally. He is afraid of contact. Gallinari basically lives on the FT line. No comparison. None.
The clips in this thread do not impress me... high dribble, low release point on jumpers and a bunch of moves that will rarely work in the NBA. Big deal.

Big deal.</div> I don't see that. I see an amazing number of similarities between him and Turkoglu. There's nothing wrong with his release point at all. It's perfect for him - remember, he's 6'10. He doesn't have a high dribble the whole time - you're overly stressing one play, I think, because that's the only time I saw it - one play. And you can look at Turk's highlights, you'll see it from him a couple times too. No big deal. A bunch of moves that rarely work in the NBA? How's that? Since when don't pump fakes, quick spin moves, and a hesitation move not work in the NBA? Oh, and keep in mind with all these comparisons to Turkoglu - Dan's 19...while Turk's 29.

Even if his 3 shot was iffy, he's already got many of the moves Hedo has just recently developed/shown. He came into the league solely as a shooter - and now he's got all these other tools, such as playmaking, ability to attack the basket, ability to handle the ball. Danilo's going backwards. He has all of those tools already (for the most part), all he needs is to perfect the shot to Hedo's level. And he'd have at least 10 years to do that.

I know they are just youtube vids, and I know they rarely bother to show whether a gut can play D or even pass the ball..... But with that said, going on the above evidence....Danilo Gallinari is the most impressive player I 've watched in these videos not named Beasley. My runner up goes to Speights. So...my final draft dream list goes like this: In the 10 Spot: Gallinari, Gordon, Alexander, Rush In the 21 Spot: Speights, Hickson, Rush, Hibbert In the 40 Spot: Dorsey or anybody that can shoot the damn ball. "In Rod We Kiki" PS. Any Good deal that ships RJ out of town can be merged with the above list.
i don't think it would be exciting to watch. I would rather watch gordon,love or the twins or a speedy guy like westbrook. If you watched the finals it was really exciting watching rondo running around geting steals and do crazey things.

Like I said, most of the ones I see compare how players look and have very little to do with how they play.
