I think another thing that hurts his rebounding numbers is lately he is covering the opposing PG or best SG/SF so on D he is usually always on the perimeter as well just like he is usually on the perimeter on offense.

Now Gallo all of 21 yo is disappointing too, must be D’Antoni’s horrible coaching. Just kidding kidding….

21 years old, 2nd in minutes played, .573 TS%, 38% 3P, 112 offensive rating, 5 Win Shares, maybe the best shot blocker currently on the team… And one reason he’s so pitiful rebounding is because he’s basically a guard offensively and doesn’t touch the offensive glass. Has shown plenty of promise on D. Would love it if he’s Peja 2.0, so long as the Knicks don’t max him out like NO did with Peja.

I suppose young guys are known for inconsistency, but I feel like there’s been more bad than good for a while. His scoring numbers are also so important because he rarely does much on the boards or passing. Would be nice to see the playmaking A LOT more. This is his first time above 5 assists in one game this season, and his ast% is lower than everyone on the team’s besides Curry and Giddens. I can excuse some of it to his role as a spot-up shooter, but only so much. I hope it’s a sign of things to come, but I’m not going to get too excited about one 8 ast game against an injury ravaged team that didn’t play defense even when healthy. His rebound rate is also lowest among frontcourt players on the Knicks (unless you consider Walker a frontcourt player). If he can’t pass or rebound his ceiling looks like Peja. Not a bad thing, but a disappointment. It’s nice to see him have a good game, I just can’t get too excited about what I hoped would be common this season for Gallo and bash Harrington for having a bad game.

Glad to see Gallo have a good game. The past 3 games before this one he’s had more shots than points, though. Would be nice to see him doing this more regularly, and getting 8 asts against a team that at least acknowledges that defense exists.
