4. Danilo Gallinari

Gallinari is a fantastic offensive player. His 6-foot-10 frame allows him to punish smaller defenders by shooting right over them. He shot 39 percent on 3-pointers last season and is a constant threat outside of the arc. His post game is one of the most efficient in the league, particularly because of his ability to draw fouls.

However, Defense is also an issue for Gallinari. For the majority of last season, he was an easy target for quick guards. Danilo is not the quickest off of the first step, which creates a disadvantage. Still, he has the size to play either forward position and his versatile offensive game could be useful for several teams.
