[Vecenie] Analytics-heavy team in Houston takes an analytics darling in De’Anthony Melton.

You know who else likes analytics......Max Kellerman

(I'll let this joke die now)

 

The only analytics I saw was 28% from 3... but I heard he changed his shot while in exile.

 

Too lazy to check him out. I guess he is the answer on us missing out/dodging bullet on carmelo anthony?

 

Kellerman knows the analytics of sucker clutchfans who watch him
And his paycheck gets fatter

 

I feel like I've seen this before. I'm having dejasixteen.

 

lol seriously, just skimming through the draft threads I saw that damn "darling" tweet at least 10 times.

Spoiler

This guy seems to be a rather consensus 1st round pick in the mid 20's. Has the potential to be a steal.

 

Charles B. dun know that Daryyl is a Goat at Table Tennis. Lmao. Exceptional talent.

Morey, better show them he got the Nerdy Girl at the Prom!

 

Makes total sense. Although I have no idea how he got to the mid-40s. But as an analytics-heavy team we got our analytics darling in De’Anthony Melton.

 

The obvious answer revolves around him sitting out the year. It remains to be seen how much that will inhibit his growth going forward. I suppose you will never know for sure how things would have ended up if he played his soph. season. Perhaps this could even have helped him in some way by knowing now he can't screw up his shot in the NBA and will take things completely serious from now on. I love players like this, which was why I was sad to see Pat B leave to the Clippers.
