I still hate Melo... https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/...anthony-rockets-james-harden-offensive-system Here’s the thing about Anthony: For a guy who is so commonly associated with midrange scoring, he’s not that potent a midrange scorer! He shot 41 percent from 2-point range outside the paint last season, which is the equivalent of 27.3 percent from 3. Melo attempted 372 shots from this range last season, more than Paul (161) and Harden (104) combined. It wouldn’t make any sense to have a 27.3 percent 3-point shooter jack up nearly 400 shots in a season, and it also doesn’t make sense to have a 41 percent deep-midrange shooter. He’s an obviously dynamic scorer with ancient shot distribution. Of the 73 players who logged over 1,000 possessions last season, Carmelo ranked 60th in points per possession, per Synergy. The last time he ranked highly among his peers was the 2013-14 season, back when he still drew fouls at a high rate. Carmelo must find a new way to score in his new home. Houston gets the most out of its players by placing them in the most efficient scoring spots; as a by-product, they hoist a record-breaking amount of 3s each year.
This is his last real chance in the NBA, and his best one. Working in a defined system with his best friend at PG, if he can't hack it, he won't last. It's an experiment worth doing for the minimum.
Can't hear what the questions are. Fits with the post-practice interviews that are typically drown out by 10 basketballs being dribbled on their website
this thread only has 34 posts in it and the latest Jimmy Butler thread already has 30. Gotta boost Melo's numbers here
thats because the questions arent important players just spout out their in advance prepared generalities and doubletalkes
