he would have to take 50 shots per game to get 38 points..
the thing with guys like king is that he shot over 50% didn't need a ton of shots..
good luck with that....
It worked for iverson who was far less efficient. Not saying its the answer, but you can build a successful team that way.
CARMELO NOT IVERSON
Iverson career 42.5% fg. Melo 45.6%. Melo also better career 3pt % and free throw %. Original point was if a successful team can be put around iverson's high volume scoring it can be done with Melo.
iverson was a more dynamic player.. he played a lot in the lane for a little guy.. his ability to penetrate opened up a lot of opportunities for other players.. he also dished out close to 7 dimes a game, even though he put up a ton of shots.. Not a fan of the amount of shots he took, but I liked how he played. exciting to watch, electric, hard to guard, an opportunist on defense, almost getting 3 steals a game...
different player, different dynamic, you can't do with carmelo what you did with iverson. carmelo too limited..
I don't care what the original point was. I don't agree with it, iverson was more than just a high volume shooter.... His style of play is what allowed the sixers to build a team around him that worked somewhat....
and here is the big difference. Iverson actually played better in the playoffs than regular season... Look at his shooting % in postseason..
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
