In the NEW YORK TIMES, Howard Beck writes "Danilo Gallinari was shaky, then strong, not brilliant but exceptionally resilient. He handled the ball like a point guard, shot like a shooting guard and got knocked around the paint like a still-maturing 19-year-old. He was, indeed, everything the Knicks expected when they drafted him last month. Gallinari scored 14 points in his N.B.A. summer league debut Monday, and showed that he was a work in progress. He failed to score in the first half, missed his first five shots and collected five fouls in 30 minutes. But he made five of his last six shots, several from long distance, and showed the persistence that endeared him to the Knicks' front office."
