As a versatile 19-year-old with deep shooting range, the 6-foot-9 Gallinari has been the best player on his team in the Serie A (17.5 ppg in 29 games) and the tough Euroleague (14.9 ppg in 11 games). He is the top international prospect and one of the more skilled players in the draft. SI.com's Ian Thomsen reported that Gallinari wants to play for a franchise in the greater New York area, among a few other preferred teams.
