Does this nikka Melo drive to the basket any more?

[threattonature]

I really was hoping he'd drop some weight coming into the season cause his quickness is gone and the times I've seen him get the ball in the low post he's been too predictable and ends up shooting a contested fadeaway cause nobody's scored of him blowing past them on a drive and can play him tight.

He should do low post or lose weight and practice 3s everyday

It’s over :FlattopMelo:

A lot of people thought Melo would age better than Bron. His decline is crazy.

I feel like Melo would play a little better if he lost some weight. I don't think he cares at this point tho.

I think Carmelo has a chance to win an NBA championship this year as usual.

His vertical is awful lmao. When he does drive, he uses his fat ass body to create space and still hits the bottom of the rim and looks at the ref pleading for a foul. Here I thought his game was gonna translate till he retired.

Then Dominican genes showing
Lack of AA blood

Relegated to some Love status.

I still think Melo can dominate in the low post.

Love hits 3s. Melo doesnt anymore which is preposterous. He shot over 40% the past couiple years but n ow with easier looks, is bricking everything

 

[Pimp]

Cause he plays with Westbrook.

Which means he's wide open all game. He only shot over 50% one game since the January..

 

[street heat]

His first step is actually still good, his problem is he has no vertical so the defense always recovers when he goes up for the layup.

 

[DoubleJ13]

fukkers really in here trying to pin Melo playing like ass on Russy

 

[BlackAlacard]

Only thing he drive to is the drive-thru.

thought he was Rican

If Melo was still deadly serious and laser focused on the game he'd get stronger, lean up a little and become a factor in the post. He's a legitimate 6'8" and could extend his effectiveness offensively by becoming a power 4 with long range ability.

Melo just trying to get his paper and ride this thing out until teams won't mess with him anymore, then he'll call it a career.
