The insane standards don't mean a damn thing(3 more assists, 4 more Rebounds, A/T/Smile ratio Blah Blah).

He trust his team and the team trusts him. We don't need him on that wall, we WANT him on that wall.

Melo's having a very impressive season in terms of scoring, though. If you want to talk about a really impressive, historic achievement - Tyson is leading the league in both scoring efficiency and offensive rebounding.

Bonn1997 wrote:Efficiency is measured objectively. His offense for the first 60% of the season was a bit better. I think he's either still slightly injured or worn down. He's healthy enough to contribute though.

No it is not. Not when fouls are not called the same and roles are different. Players with kind whistle get help with there efficiency. Also, some players play to much for efficiency instead of team. Coach Brooks had to talk to his team about taking shots at the end of the quarter because some didn't want to harm their precious. That's a little different but..

Maybe but it is interesting the free throw rate of some and other high usage players.

Bonn1997 wrote:Yeah, Melo is among the top in the league. He attacks the rim well but not as quickly and/or as forcefully as Lebron, Harden, and Durant do. It's not surprising they get fouled on 1 to 2 more possessions per game.

Just because it is not called doesn't mean it is not ad good. Also melo attacks more but still shoots less.

Bonn1997 wrote:Shoots less than who? I don't think he shoots less than anyone.

Shoots more at the rim but has a lower ft rate than all of the above actually. I think Harden is about to set the record for most attempts for a guard. Last game was not an anomoly for Durant he flail his arms and get calls. Defenders make attempts to knock the ball out on post ups and the whistle blows. It is almost impossible for him to be inefficient. Same for Harden.

Does the shot chart also reflect relative quickness and forcefulness? And this is not an attack, just asking.

Frankly, I'd rather be getting posterized at the rim by Durant than Melo; it would have to be much less painful.

If you worried about that, you not talking basketball.

Exactly, it's why the dumbass Hawks players never win games (besides Wilkins, but he still ended up without a championship).
