DraftExpress has the Clippers picking Danilo Gallinari with their #6 pick. Now I don't know much about this guy, but they're pegging him as (in a best case scenario), an "European Lebron James". Worse case- Hedo Turkoglu? Heck that's not much of a worse case- I'll take Turkoglu anytime. Maybe Miquel can shed some light on this Euro Lebron:

Wonder if we do pick him and it turns out we have another Korolev on our hands.  |

Aww C-Joe, you would bring that up! 
Seriously, the difference between Gallanari and Korolev is that someone other than Dunleavy thinks Gallanari has talent! |

| lol. Korolev was huge mistake. The Clippers could have drafted Rashard McCants or someone much bettr than Korolev. JUst like the dreadful olowakandi pick when they could have taken kobe, or nowitski, nash even. I honestly think the Clippers are going to take OJ Mayo, who just played his last game tonight (played it really well!) |

| no body gave korolev a chance. I think if the clippers organization was willing to draft him for what three years?... they should have focused more in him... put some weight on the kid and got him proper experience... D League or whatever. I would have focused on bulking him up for sure, I heard he was a sick shooter... at least in pre game shootarounds, but seriously they should have gotten him some help... he sat the bench for three years. U could have spent the first year of his career on bulking him up... then the summer to build his confidence and have him work on agility and athletic ability. and so on and so forth.... terrible GM and coaching for Korolev... I'm off to vegas but hit me back with some feedback |

I thought for a while you were russian RussDaddy!!!Well, about Gallinari I think he should spend one more year in Europe to become important because right now he's a question mark. He plays as a SF, he's very tall but he's slow. He would be owned by most of the athletic players in NBA. In NBA he should play as a PF but he's too weak to play inside so...It's a high risk bet. I would pass him.
About Korolev we have written so many lines...Now he plays for Dynamo Moscow, a good team from Russia but I've searched around the net and he isn't playing so surely something is happening with him.
More former Clipper players playing in Europe:
James Singleton is back from his serious injury...He's had the whole season recovering and he has already played two games. He's still findind his rythm...He has great players as team mates so it's gonna be difficult for him to have an important role in his team: Tau Vitoria.
Daniel Ewing. Yes, he's playing in Europe for another Russian team called Khimki. He was eliminated last week from ULEB Cup, a second division in Europe behind the Euroleague. (You know in Europe we have the national competition among teams from every country, and then there are continental competitions played only by the best Europe teams, the bests plays Euroleague and the others play UlebCup)
Well, so Ewing as the rest of the Khimki squad was owned by the R&R. You know what I'm talking about...isn't it? Ricky & Rudy, of course!!DKV Joventut defeated Khimki in Russia (73-96):
http://www.ulebcup.com/ulebcup/competit ... ;pcode=jly
and in Badalona (69-54):
http://www.ulebcup.com/ulebcup/competit ... ;pcode=jly
Rudy would be a top ten pick (or higher) if he could be picked this year, for sure. He's playing game after game in another level. When next year he'll become one of the best rookies I hope you won't be surprised after all the info I'm giving you...If he fails you could remember my words and shoot me the times you want .
Finally, the Sofo!!!You remember the last update was that he was in a clinic from Switerland solving his serious weight problems...Well, he has finished the program and he has come back to Greece. I'll look for more information because I haven't read yet how many weigh has he lost. |

| I'm sorry, for every Euro player who comes here who is supposed to be the second coming of Magic Johnson, or whatever, and is successful, there are two who are sitting on the end of an NBA bench, or have already gone gack to Europe with their tail between their legs. Marko Jaric was suppposed to have been the best PG to ever come out of Europe and........Bellini is supposed to be...... and Korolev......and so many others. If we have a top pick, no more gambling on Euro players. We take a stud American player out of college who will adapt to the American game better and faster. Now, if you want to take a flyer on a Euro player with the second round pick, I'm in. |

This is what you read around the net...there are many interests involving the players, mainly agents who want to shop their "products" to the best suitor possible $$. It's up to you if you wanna believe all these comments without having watched a guy play...
For a European player is very difficult to mature as a player in the US. And there are many examples about young European who showed potential in Europe and then immediately went overseas...the result use to be dissapointing. Of course, there are always exceptions that prove the rule like Nowitzki or Parker. IMO Gallinari and Batum are both in the group of the players who are showing potential and then they will visit the NBA too soon.
This year there's no any Europe player who I would draft for the Clippers. Only Nikola Pekovic could deserve our second round pick if there's nothing better. But neither Gallinari, nor Batum nor Ibaka (who is playing in the second Spanish division) are solid prospects.
For example, did you know Ibaka was playing in the second division in Spain? You know why? Because while he's playing there he still have potential...If he played in ACB with the best then maybe "the cake would be discovered" and everybody could realize that he doesn't know to play basketball...he only has tremendous phisichal aptitudes but about playing basketball just a little bit. |

| Foreign players are too risky right now! Look at our flop of Korolev, and look at Bargnani right now (i know its still early for him, but he was a # 1 pick...). We cannot get blinded by the Dirk effect... |

| Well I'm pretty sure the Clippers will have him come in and work out with them since he is so heralded. No matter where he is from we definitely don't want to pass up a player who could be another Manu Ginobilli/Tony Parker. But of course we have to do our homework so we don't draft another Korolev either. |

with Dirk, he didn't really live up to this expectations his first year. it wasn't even until his 3rd/4th year when he really began to play MVP ball.
i dont even know the guys name we're trying to draft, but if he's the next lebron james, then take him. |

But who has read a comparison between Gallinari and James???!!!!Oh me oh my...If there's any journailst writing that they have something in common...Do not read more things from him!!!He's lying!!!
They have nothing in common. How do you want that a white guy could have a body like Lebron. Impossible. Furthermore their games are completely different. Forget about Gallinari as a EuroLebron.
Gallinari is totally unproven in Europe. He isn't still ready for this challenge just as Bargnani wasn't ready when he went to the NBA. He reminds me a lot to Tsikitishvili (5th pick in 2002), who played in Italy and was considered as the new Dirk too. Now nobody knows about this guy...
To pick Gallinari would be a high risk pick, always IMO. Furthermore he plays as F-PF and I would pick someone for the backcourt |
