NBA: Predicting where the top 15 free agents will sign
8. Danilo Gallinari
When it comes to Danilo Gallinari, his talent is never questioned. He is one of the most versatile offensive players in the game, and is defense is solid enough for him to survive in the new NBA. The question with Galo, however, has always been his health.
Galo hasn’t played 70 games in a season since the 2012-13 campaign. It’s a genuine concern. However, he did averaged 18 points and five rebounds last season on 45 percent shooting from the field. He’s a superb offensive scorer, and an above-average three-point shooter.
There’s no question that he can help any offense in today’s game. However, any team will have to find the right salary number that will outweigh the injury risk. That’s the hard part.
I would love to see Galo land in Minnesota, but I believe it’s a long shot.
Prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves
