Danilo Gallinari – Hit

Rating: 81

With the 81 overall rating, Gallinari cemented himself as 2K18’s 10th-best small forward. I think he deserves that title. Although his defensive abilities won’t excite you, Gallo is a supreme offensive talent. He’s also an above-average rebounder for his position, nabbing nearly 5 per game throughout his 9-year career. His 6’10” frame makes him a terror to defend as well. If he can stay healthy this season, we can expect to see his 81 jump up to an 83 or 84, as his injury-prone nature is likely the biggest knock on his game. For now, though, an 81 seems like an excellent start.
