Danilo Gallinari is ready for his first full season with the Denver Nuggets
23-year old small forward Danilo Gallinari will be in his first full season with the Nuggets in 2011-12. Gallinari played in 62 games (60 starts) for the Knicks & Nuggets last year in which he averaged 33.9 minutes, 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He has now played in 171 games (136 starts) in his first three years in the NBA and he is averaging 30.8 minutes, 13.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. 20-year old small forward Jordan Hamilton will back up Gallinari in 2011-12. He came to the Nuggets in the big Andre Miller/Raymond Felton deal during the NBA Draft. Hamilton was a first round pick last June who played very well for the Texas Longhorns last year, so he has a nice upside.
