Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

Betting He Can Shoot!

Danilo Gallinari, the leading scorer in the Italian basketball league, declared for the NBA draft on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old Gallinari is averaging 17.5 points and 5.6 rebounds with Armani Jeans Milano. He’s shooting 39.8 percent from 3-point range. At 6-foot-9, Gallinari is hoping to be a top 15 pick. He plays guard or forward. Also Wednesday, Gallinari won the Rising Star award in the Euroleague as the best player under 22. Gallinari looks to become the third Italian selected in three years. The Toronto Raptors took Andrea Bargnani with the top pick in 2006, and Marco Belinelli was chosen 18th by the Golden State Warriors last year.

I am big on the Italian players coming over because…well I am Italian..but the other two have not really done to much and I hope that this guy can chage the fortunes of the Italian born players. He is shooting almost 40% from beyond the arc, that is Ray Allen like who is one of the best pure shooters I have ever seen. So good luck to Danilo Gallinari in the draft and in his future NBA career!
