Analysis:

Gallinari missed the better part of two seasons after tearing his ACL in April of 2013. His return to action wasn't smooth, but when he finally started playing significant minutes after the All-Star break last season, Gallinari shined, averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 31 minutes per game. He'll have a new coach in Mike Malone, which adds one wrinkle to the equation, but after the team signed Galo to an extension, it's likely they have big things planned for him this season.
