Coming over from Denver in a trade, Danilo Gallinari will be looking to make an impact for his new team in his first season in the Pacific Division. Gallinari is a very well rounded player: he is an above average shooter, solid rebounder and has great size.

An eight year NBA veteran, Galo has been a small forward staple in the league since 2008. In terms of playing time, Danilo has been the model of consistency. Like his new teammate Lou Williams, Gallinari has played over 30.0 minutes per game in all but two seasons of his NBA career. No projected Suns starter has managed to accomplish that tremendous feat.

How will Gallinari slide in with the new-look Clippers this season? Let’s sit back, grab some popcorn and find out.
