Read my latest thread. I credit Phil for ordering him to set a 9 men Rotation

thats almost as bad as the posters who say that melo did not change, he just has better players now.

Melo changed in part because he plays with quality players he can trust. It's not the only reason but he doesn't become this player with last year's roster. Sound reasonable enough?

not really but thats fine. At least he changed.

So many people always said you get Melo a quality supporting cast who can make shots and his game changes for the better. He was an MVP candidate in 2012/2013 and has adjusted this year as well. For those who said that, it was pretty much spot on. For those who never liked Melo, they will naturally say he just changed but it has nothing to do with his supporting cast. Funny how that works.

funny how the flip side works.

many said that melo needs to change and move the ball and make his teammates better. Those people were spot on.

many players with so so teams still played team ball. Melo actually played on good teams but never really played team ball. The year he avg'd the most assists was one of his worst squads. Go figure.

And guess what. The knicks are still not an efficient team yet the ball is moving and they are getting better. And, melo playing defense is kinda nice too.

The argument was never if Melo needed to share the ball more. It was always how can you get Melo to share the ball more. Some people used the reasoning maybe if he had better teammates he would be more willing to trust them and share the ball more. Because Melo is human so he would need something or someone to spark the commitment to do so and make him comfortable doing it. Most likely the biggest X factor is Phil Jackson. Since teamball isn't about talent but character. Surrounding Melo with Phil, Fisher and high character guys. Melo is now surrounded by a better support group of people then he ever had in Denver even if they aren't as talented.

Lets also not forget that some of our coaches especially M.Woodson was asking Melo to play ISO ball so we can't just put it on Melo if he's actually being asked to play that way by his head coaches.

ISO doesn't automatically mean shoot though. You could still use ISO opportunities to draw defenders and create.

I actually like every player on this roster, even sasha. Im to thrill about the way these olayers get used, but looks like fisher and his staff is starting to snap out of the coma/time capsule they were in.
