ESPN & SI Give Galloway & Wright Some Preseason Hype



Recent online articles on the ESPN and Sports Illustrated sites have singled out La Salle senior guard Ramon Galloway and sophomore power forward Jerrell Wright.

Galloway's high-flying act has gotten him recognition as one of the top dunkers in college basketball.  His reverse slam against Minnesota in the NIT was ranked the second best dunk of the 2011-12 season.  Check out these articles by ESPN's Myron Medcalf with quotes from Ramon and Coach John Giannini.

Galloway looks like a real talent. Huge hops. Will be an NBA star one day I believe. What are his perceived weaknesses? Does he get back on defence? This is very important in the game of basketball today.
