Galanari is not that good the thing about some of these european players is that they might be “bigs” but they play the perimiter and they are not as stron and physical. On eof you said that the competition in europe is greater than in NCAA i dont thinks so these kids in div 1 colleges are much better thn the euro players they are stronger more skills and just better overall. Oh Andrea bargniani is TRASH that kid cant play for crap.

It comes off as arrogance. Do you know what the capitol of Montana is? Without looking it up? Europeans don’t know that much about the United States besides stereotypes.

Although, having watched much European and college basketball (I’m half Roman) I do agree that there’s absolutely no comparison. Gallinari is def not a three-four year project haha

Chad Ford actually impressed me with his latest analysis, pity I hadn’t heard that earlier.

get the one from 27th and hear what he has to say about Danilo and the euroleague, this guy knows his stuff and I got completely sold on him. Listening to daily dish will save me from reading a lot of misinformed stuff.
I recomment it.

@Alex
we know who Steve Smith is

We are not defensive and arrogant against Americans and their basketball. We just make a bit fun of their lack of knowledge of European basketball and Europe in general.
When Steve Smith asks about the level Gallinari has played against, this shows that he has no clue about European basketball. The competition Gallinari played against is by far better than any NCAA College team.

That’s not Steven A Smith of ESPN, that’s Steve Smith, former star shooting guard of the Atlanta Hawks.

This site is overall very good, but why are you so defensive and arrogant towards Americans and American basketball?

“Steve, I tell you one thing, the competition he played against is probably better than the level you ever played.”

Oh, come on. Smith is a two time Dream Teamer, future Hall of Famer, great shooter, playmaker, leader. He is better than Galinari ever will be.

Gallinari is more ready than Darko or Bargnani when they came to NBA.

@John Marzan
better, it is difficult to say as he is a pretty different player
He is a lot better than Milicic as Gallinari played a Euroleague season being the team leader.

Steve ” They need help right now” Smith: Just learn how to speak and stop studdering and mumbling crap.If you want to be an expert, do something for it ! Some players shouldnt be on TV , he reminds me of German soccer-player Matthaeus (The same IQ), except Matthaeus at least won something in his career…
