good talent, good size, good athleticism... a couple of these guys popping will accelerate the rebuild very quickly. Galloway is very valuable. I wonder if we can get quality minutes from him.

Great size for a shooting guard to go along with top notch scoring instincts ... Very advanced handle used to create separation ... Able to create his own shot from a variety of places on the court, adept at changing speeds ... Has a great ability to see the floor, willing passer ... Played PG many times throughout his prep career, can be relied upon as primary ball handler at times ... Potential to guard multiple positions as well as fill multiple positions in an offensive set ... Can stretch the floor, has a high release on his shot ... Quick hands that give him an advantage on both sides of the court ... Finishes well with either hand, hard to force into a weak spot ... Can move quite well laterally, has definite potential to be a solid wing defender ... High basketball IQ, seems to have a natural ability and sense of where to best operate on the floor ... Deceptive athlete if not an explosive one, which is really what makes his offensive skill set something to constantly taken into account as an opposing defender ... Wild card prospect with a lot of upside ...

This kid can ball, look at his highlights from last season. great passing ability, has a great first step,fake, and uses both hands. His defense can get lazy at times, but he should be our 6th man off the bench and insurance for afflalo. No clue why fisher played scrubby larkin 38 mins vs ledo 5 to 10, day in and day out

I think that had more to do with Calderon being out and needing a PG before getting Shved.

Fish didn't hold Ledo back. The kid wasn't really ready but he played. I expect more from Ledo this year. Really liked his fit for this team.
NYY1NYK2@ 7/7/2015 9:46 AM
I like how he makes decisions in a heartbeat, doesnt get caught up in the dribbling. its either hes scoring or passing, no flashyness. And his range...this kid is truly a gem
Cartman718@ 7/7/2015 10:05 AM
sure hope all that hard work pays off for him and us.

He looked really bad the first couple of games he played. He improved with minutes and better conditioning. It would be great if he can contribute this year.

If you look at this film, he wasn't as bulked up. He was quicker, more explosive and had better leaping ability and body control in the air.

Seems to get it. Has a good support from his family. He showed signs at the end of last season. He is able to create his own shot and shoots it well.
May be a sleeper for the Knicks this season. I believe he has a partial guarantee??
*Update* - according to Spotrac - He has contract that will pay him just under $1M this season.

Of course you were hanging out at practice day after day watching Ledo's progress picking up the offense and defense, so you are uniquely qualified to know that Fisher had no clue about what he was doing...
stopstandthere@ 7/7/2015 10:51 AM
Good attitude. Hard work. Know his position.
I hope he gets quality minutes.

At the exact moment moment Fisher *should* have been teaching Ledo to be an NBA star he was instead thinking of how best to ruin the Knicks draft position.

I like Gallo but i'm worried people are expecting too much from him next season. We have to remember that he went undrafted and there is the dreaded sophomore slump so i'm just hoping he can show that he's growing some and give us good minutes. If he ends up starting i'd be surprised.
GoNyGoNyGo@ 7/7/2015 11:03 AM
I think this is from this off-season
This kids has talent. On the court with Melo, he could really shine getting open looks and drives to the hoop. If his head is right, he could be the top scorer for the team.
CrushAlot@ 7/7/2015 11:10 AM
Great video. Thanks for posting it. Rooting for him to be on the team.

so we played larkin 38 minutes as part of the tank. God forbid he played Ledo more minute we might have made the playoffs, or worse yet, ledo might be worth keeping..like what are you guys getting at, It sounds like your thinking he did good thing by giving him sporadic minutes
Your protecting fisher like he no hand in the horrible season we just witness, even he himself has excepted blame.

I see him as the backcourt glue guy. Some 1...some 2.(Yeah...I know we don't use those terms.)
He is a better outside shooter than he showed last year. Will benefit being off the ball more of the time, IMO.
He can also defend at both positions.

not protecting Fisher. Just not making comments that rank among the dumbest Ive ever read here like not playing Ledo more might have cost the playoffs. Fisher had a very tough season. His veterans were hurt the start the season, his guys in walk years wanted nothing to do with the team and there wasnt much else to lean on.
What are these 38 minutes your talking about? Actually never mind.
