I think that the team will need his shot to be on and him to pass as well, no?

how is he shooting?

Thought the thread was about can he contribute if his shot is off. I am not sure about his stat I know he was 6-11 in his last game but he has been up and down. Just know that because he only took 11 shots. But ideally the team needs him to be hitting his shot and passing.

when the knicks played cleveland lebron was really off so he concentrated on dishing - 12 assists.

Melo was off so he concentrated on more and more and more and more and more shooting so that he could get his shot going.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

bad from 3 and not getting to the line enough. I think the 3ball will get around 39% if he comes back this season. His 2pt% is pretty high for him but the other things have dipped so far. I have seen a lot of open jumpers missed, especially 3s and I am not talking about the quick shots off a rebound. Really after his disastrous slow start he was on a serious role then he cam back and his TS plummeted. Regardless of how many ast he is getting I would like to see 11-14 ast opportunities a game. The guy needs to pass more and cut harder off the pass. Maybe its the nagging injuries but he needs to play with more suddenness.

a typical melo statline has him missing at least 10 shots per contest. maybe we should start there?

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Tonight's performance was disgusting!

I am really getting tired off his narcissism.

If he is on, he is amazing, if his shot is off, he is awful and gets stupider and more selfish.

Phil better kick him in the head if we are stuck with this for 5 years.


I thought you felt it wasn't right to criticize this guy

Are you the type of poster who tries to determine fan thresholds


Because let's keep this 100

Melo is the same garbage player here as he was in Denver


Only a minority of intellects understood this prior to trading for him

Let me try this and see if it works

Hey you must have been another poster who came back but


No one has identified as to which one, maybe you're tkf

Wait you must have been banned from RealGM or was it Insidehoops


I sound real smart now

The point is every fan has a threshold, except some don't need

What was the dumb stuff he posted

Other than riling on Melo[which even you're doing now]


Repeating things he probably touched on, what was it

What ground breaking thought provoking things are you expounding on currently or in the past

why don't you just ask to get your original name back so you can lose the stupid formatting.

tkf was an idiot but to be an idiot and to have fukked up formatting?

Thats priceless!

Oh okay so you'd rather not focus on your identity

Misdirect towards poster personality who asked a valid question


About the genesis of this thread and reasoning behind it

And doesn't want to redirect the conversation back to Melo


In short yes mreinman I agree Melo is worthless if he's not shooting

In particular avoiding as many 2s as possible and nailing his 3ball

mreinman's been here quite some time.

Talking about what Melo can do to help when his shot isnt falling is a legit discussion. Probably exactly what "fleshing out his game" means. A discussion the emotional turtles on this board are incapable of.

I would love to see him improve there. Melo is very frustrating because you know he is capable of filling out the stat sheet better with rebs, assists and steals. I think blkexec nailed it best when he said he works too hard to get his own shot off that he just doesnt have enough left effort wise to be anything other than average on the other end of the floor. Thats a 100% legit knock on his game. It has especially killed him in the playoffs over his career.

Lets see how Phil and Fisher push those buttons.

At this point in his career i dont think só. I dont think its lack of effort i just dont think he has great overall ability. He is a top scorer and a good rebounder those are his strengths

Melo in not good in passing, court vision, handling the ball in open court, moving without the ball, stills, defending 3th, defending 4th, help-defense, and shot-blocking but he is very good in all the rest...
