The comparison is spot on cuz they are both ball dominant high volume low efficiency mid range iso scorers.

Neither are great defenders and poor playmakers. The only way you can offset this is by having an elite playmaker point guard.

No coincidence Melo had his best playoff run with Chauncey to get him good rhythm shots.

That's what Paolo will need as well

I agree. Tho it was less about getting Melo good shots and more about Chauncey setting the table for everyone else.

Melo likely worked best in the KD role as a plug n play mercenary operating outside of an actual system, same applies to Paolo… issue is Melo wasn’t in the same ballpark of shooting or efficiency as KD (Paolo ain’t in the same stratosphere) so the deadball isos just don’t hit the same (pause).

Yet it’s either that for Paolo or he’ll have to simply… get smarter at basketball or never be worth a damn to a winning team lol.

ah ok. I know their record is pretty much the same at this point last year. i like jamahl mosley but he's like a worse version of Udoka in terms of offensive coaching.
I saw a stat that was completely unbelievable about the magic. They were the 19th ranked offense and it was the first time this late in the season they had been above 20 since Mosley was the coach :francis:

You got 4 players on max contracts or contracts so close to a max they are a max:francis:

He gone 6 hours after the magic lose in the play in or lose in first round game 5
