Agreed, and pretty observant. MElo is a great scorer (who shoots at a terrible %). We really need players around him who get him the ball in a better position and not just get him the ball. I kind of think, a pg like Dragic fits the bill as he is a scoring threat, so that would create more space. Lin is another great PG for Melo as he can take charge. But don't get me going there.
Just look at Melo the star on the Olympic team. Put some intelligence around him (since he is not really a brain out there) and watch him shine.
And Felton, well, he just isn't a smart PG.
Bargs on the team is showing value in this regards. Tyson needs to hit that outside shot more and we are getting closer. Hardaway Jr is another good high IQ guy to have out there.
JR Smith, oh boy. He does play great when focusing on driving like last year before the contract.
