• Selected Danilo Gallinari 6th overall.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

This is likely not going to be a pick that we can fairly evaluate for a few years, but there’s no question that Gallinari has skills to succeed. The question is, does he fill a need for the Knicks? While Gallinari is a multitalented prospect, at the end of the day, the Knicks still have plenty of holes to fill. One of the main holes is finding a replacement point guard for Stephon Marbury, and Jerryd Bayless was there for the taking. Even D.J. Augustin would have been an adequate selection.

Let’s hope Gallinari can overcome the boo-birds and translate that negativity to motivation.

Grade: B-
