Danilo Gallinari- Overall  81 (2K16- 81)

Danilo Gallinari was the Nuggets highest overall player in 2K16 and that will still be the case in 2K17. Gallinari is an established NBA player who excels at both inside and outside scoring, but struggles on defense. His stats in 2K16 reflected this, with Gallinari having great shooting stats both inside and outside, but having very low IQ ratings on defense.

It is hard to imagine that Gallinari receives either a major upgrade or downgrade in any attributes because his skillset is so established. Gallinari might receive a few upgrades in his standing shot three and standing shot close, but should remain around the same in other offensive categories. His defensive stats will also most likely remain essentially the same because he has yet to take the leap defensively.

Gallinari could possibly get a boost of a point in his overall to 82, but I imagine he does not progress enough in any major categories to improve upon his latest 2K16 overall. Despite this, Gallinari is one of the best Nuggets in the game from a scoring aspect, and can fill up the scoreboard anytime.
