I literally see his name popping up in discussions regarding “solid” wings…but what has he actually accomplished in his career to merit that? If he’s not injured, he’s trade fodder for bigger pieces. I’ve been watching the NBA since before he was drafted and seriously do not recall him EVER having relevance outside of being a trade piece or a joke about him warming benches. If he came to my favorite team (which they traded him in the past lol), I know they’re about to rebuild the slow, painful way.
This sounds like hating, but there has been no other narrative or highlights from Gallo other than being a news piece for a trade or an ACL injury. Have you seen differently? I’m genuinely curious to know if someone can change my mind on this player.
But why is he held in regards as a good player if he hasn’t won anything of merit? You would think a good player would equal wins and accolades, not a role on the bench pretending you’re contributing.
Did you not just read that he was a key piece on a 57-win team? Not every good role player is gonna win constantly either. Crawford never made a Conference Finals, is he subpar now?
Jamal Crawford came off the bench for a reason. Having a defensive sieve as your starting 2 guard is a great way to get lit up.
