Not sure how/where you see him more explosive op but i do hope you're right, probably i'm just not noticing it.
"More Explosive" He isn't "taking off" by any means but these moves are clean, twitchy and he's getting good lift to finish with finesse there. Not many Power Forwards could stay in front of that if those can't. Like both of these lay ups are from the hashes, haven't seen Melo take off from there in a while.
I love all these posters who are arguing and complaining about getting melo. Yall must not watch basketball. Dude is coming to Houston for basically nothing. He provides a 3rd scoring option, is a veteran and has played his best basketball with top pg (Billups). Place him in the pick and rolls and watch him go to work. 18 and 6 this year.
