Danilo Gallinari..

I created this post because I was thinking he should get more credit for his improved play. He’s putting up numbers that compare favorably to Paul George’s and he’s doing it on a team that doesn’t have a clear number 1 option, like Paul George is for the Pacers, also he’s playing 5 less minutes a game.

Their Stats

Paul George- 17.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks,.427% from the field, .812 from the line, .383 from three in 37.4 minutes a game

Danilo Gallinari- 17.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks,.424 from the field, .811 from the line, .370 from three in 32.9 minutes a game.

Now i’m not saying he’s better than Paul George, I think Paul George’s 2 way game will always be better, but I do think he could be and is a better offensive player than Paul George.

I simply used Paul George to compare Danilo to someone who’s getting a lot of praise right now. They’re both steal young also, Paul 22, and Danilo 24. So this helps show how strong the small forward position is with players under 30. Lebron, KD, Carmelo, Rudy, Paul, Danilo, Luol Deng and up and comers like Kawhi Leonard, Harrison Barnes, MKG, Gordon Hayward, I would like to count Moe Harkless in this, he’s a great defender and rebounder, strong athlete, can attack the basket, if he improves his ball handling, he could be another Rudy or Paul George, and lastly Evan Turner, I still consider him a 2 guard but he’s starting at small forward.

I just thought Danilo Gallinari should get some shine for a second.
