Sports Illustrated reveals Danilo Gallinari, DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin’s spots

Danilo Gallinari: #42

Gallinari, in his first year as a Clipper, landed at number 42 on the list. Rob Mahoney cited Gallinari’s injury issues, but highlighted his efficiency as a major factor in his ranking:

"“Gallinari was one of the three most efficient scorers last season out of both pick-and-roll and post-up situations, according to Synergy Sports. He scored more points per isolation possession than Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Gordon Hayward.”"

The points per isolation stat will be big for the team, as they have to find more scoring with the departure of Chris Paul and J.J. Redick. Gallo can hopefully be the wing that the team has needed the past few years. Here’s hoping he lives up to his rank this season.
