NBA All-Star Game 2018-19: All-Star caliber forwards

#2 Danilo Gallinari

Action from Portland Trail Blazers v Los Angeles Clippers

The Italian sharpshooter has been the spark plug for several of the Clippers' victories this year. 46 games into the season, Gallinari is averaging a career-high 44.6% 3-pointer accuracy on a career-high 5.5 attempts per game. Health issues have done a disservice to the combo forward for most of his career, but this season, he's showing people how good he's had the potential to be if he weren't injured most of the time.

Gallinari's presence allows the Clippers to field all-wing lineups, as the Italian can guard up to 3 positions on the court due to his foot speed, strength, ability to box out and instincts for the game. While Gallo may never be recognized as an All Star ever, he will have a similar place in my heart, and with amply good reason - especially if the Clippers qualify for the postseason this year.
