Danilo Gallinari is considered as one of the most underrated players from Europe. He's been having a decent NBA career so far, and is proud of what the Europeans are able to contribute in the NBA. He's also been impressed, although not surprised, with the emergence of the Dallas Maverick's rookie sensation Luka Doncic, and despite not being able to face each other in the European leagues, Gallinari believes that the 20-year-old Slovenian has a bright future in the league.
Gallinari was asked about Doncic's recent comments about how it's easier to score in the NBA than Europe, and the sweet-shooting Italian forward said it's easier to score everywhere in the world.
“It’s a different game. The rules are different. [In Europe] You play for 40 minutes instead of 48. I think that the rules make the game different. To me, it’s easy to score all over the world.”
Gallinari is having one of the best seasons in his 10-year NBA career. He's averaging 18.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 45.1 percent from the field, including 42.9 percent from the 3-point area.
Throughout his career, he's averaged 15.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists.
It took some time for him to adjust in the league, but he's been able to hold his ground now and has become one of the most important players for the Los Angeles Clippers this season.
