i think danilo is getting way too much hype...i've read draft sites that compare him to lebron james....


they actually called him the european version of lebron james.....


now arthur is getting no respect at all....upside depends mostly on athleticism and bball skill....arthur has both, danilo only has skill....

people without athleticism only last in the nba if they have good size and also a pure shot....kind of like dirk....danilo has neither the size or pure shot...

comparing him to korolev might have been a bit severe, but danilo will be luke walton 2.0....

Which draft sites are comparing him to Lebron ?

PAIDNFULL23

Draft Express was saying his best case scenario was an Euro version of Lebron, I think as recently as last week but now they changed it to Hedo Turkoglu.

Danilo has not good but great size for his position since he's a 6-10 SF (wide shoulder, strong body for his age, etc)... and his shot is good, with nice form. He's not Dirk but has a sweet stroke... but again, how can you compare him to Walton basing only on clips?!? If Luke was a 2nd rounder while Gallinari is considered a Top 10 pick it has to be a reason...

danilo is going to get torched on defense if he tries to guard the 3 spot....and he doesn't seem strong enough to guard the 4....the reason for his top 10 projection is the hype...that's all....

you seem to be offended that i think lowly of danilo....don't be, it's just my opinion....and why value my opinion in the first place??? i'm a guy who still thinks livingston will be a good pg in this league...


sorry that you're butt hurt by my danilo bashing, but just consider that it's only an opinion of someone you don't know who is posting anonymously on an internet basketball forum....

cheers mate....

I don't care what you think really... just i don't like people judging other people basing only on clips and not full games. In the end it's just an opinion, yeah, but it seems you're hating Gallinari just because of the usual euro stereotypes...

p.s.= all hype? You have yet to find another kid doing what Danilo is doing at his age in a tough professional league...

Danillo declared today for the draft. WOuldnt it be just poetic justice if we DONT draft him due to the korolev situation, and then he actully ends up turning into the next Peja or something with another team?

I'm shocked both draftexpress and nbadraft.net have us taking Gallinari when everybody in the league knows the last thing the Clippers have room for is another wing. He'd better have some lights out workouts to justify drafting him to Clipper fans. But I have a feeling Danilo will get drafted at #6 (or higher), just not by the Clippers...

Well remember last year, the last thing we needed was a PF/SF come draft time, and sure enough thats what we picked.

I think though its too early to say that we need/dont need a SF. Who knows. Brand could opt out, or we trade him, clearing up the way for thornton to start at PF, and perhaps then we would need a SF.
