FIBA World Cup 2019: 5 European players to look out for

#4 Danilo Gallinari - Italy

Danilo Gallinari impressed for the Clippers last season and has since been traded to the OKC Thunder

Danilo Gallinari enters the tournament following the best season of his career. During the 18-19 NBA season, the Italian star averaged career highs in points (19.8) and rebounds (6.1), while also connecting with 43% of his three-point attempts.

Despite turning 31 earlier this month, Gallinari is firmly in his prime and will be keen to impress following his (most likely temporary) move to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gallinari will take on the bulk of responsibility alongside San Antonio Spurs star Marco Belinelli, and the two combined for 30 points during Italy's recent loss to Serbia.

Reaching the quarterfinals appears to be a tall task for Gallinari's team, but in perhaps his final World Cup appearance, the veteran star is expected to light up the tournament with his three-point shooting.
