Melo will be fine if he can shoot 41% 3-pt field goal. That is the only thing I ask. We can give him free to shoot. Jonas Jerebko 3 point field goal 41.4% at 74 games last year. He is 6'10"
This is where I'm at. He's not lighting the world on fire, but he already seems like a big improvement over Randerson. Give it some more time.
I am sorry but you dont think its crazy to hope for him to shoot 41% from the three when he is shooting in teens right now? And he never been a prolific 3 point shooter to begin with? Are we completely abandoning reality now?
Two games guys... outside of beating the Warriors in a game we probably should have lost on opening night last season, we didnt look that great either... 5-3 at one point I believe with difficult wins over the kings and sixers... two of the three losses came at the hands of Memphis... just relax for now
With CP likely suspended, Melo has to be given a bigger role in the next few games. Let's see how he does. He needs to be more comfortable with catch-and-shoot 3s.
No it's true, but because you've ragged on him so much and the way you responded with that gif makes it seem like you are just piling on. I'm more in line with you in terms of where I think Melo's abilities are but I do think he can still add value to this roster. I'm hoping he can go efficient mode for us haha.
actually, last season, when wide open Melo shot the 3 ball at a better % than PJ or Ariza... 3PT Shooting Totals by Closest Defender: DEFENDER DIST. PLAYER 3FG FREQ 3PM 3PA 3P% 0-2 Feet (Very Tight) Carmelo Anthony 0.40% 1 4 25 0-2 Feet (Very Tight) Trevor Ariza 0.30% 0 2 0 0-2 Feet (Very Tight) PJ Tucker 0.00% 0 0 - 2-4 Feet (Tight) Carmelo Anthony 7.20% 28 78 35.9 2-4 Feet (Tight) Trevor Ariza 12.10% 21 76 27.6 2-4 Feet (Tight) PJ Tucker 1.90% 3 8 37.5 4-6 Feet (Open) Carmelo Anthony 18.00% 60 194 30.9 4-6 Feet (Open) Trevor Ariza 25.40% 56 160 35 4-6 Feet (Open) PJ Tucker 16.60% 27 70 38.6 6+ Feet (Wide Open) Carmelo Anthony 17.20% 78 186 41.9 6+ Feet (Wide Open) Trevor Ariza 35.40% 93 223 41.7 6+ Feet (Wide Open) PJ Tucker 54.20% 84 228 36.8 so to your initial point... as long as he shoots the wide open shots and avoids the contested ones - he should be gold, right?
Look, get him away from Westbrick! He'll be better with friends James & Chris! Look, it's only been two/three games! Give it some time. Look, it's only Christmas. Give him the new year. New year, new Melo! Look, it's only the all-star break. Give him the rest of the season + playoffs Look, this was his first year here. Give him another year in the system, he'll be more comfortable.
OH boy was this guy wrong !....anyways........have you ever been mellow....have you even tried ?.......man I hate that song...lol
