Why Did Carmelo Anthony Start Jacking Threes When He Joined The Knicks?

[Mr swag]

Because his fat ass was to lazy to attack the rim because it's work

 

[CHICAGO]

FOR COMPARISON...

ROSE COMING OFF 3 KNEE SURGERIES IS TAKING A CAREER HIGH
42% OF HIS ATTEMPTS AT THE RIM.

Why is Phil trying to force the triangle to a team that can't handle the damn triangle.


Part of being a great basketball mastermind is knowing WHEN your system works, and how to make adjustments.


Dude trying to replicate the same strategy for Carmelo that he used for Jordan

[CHICAGO]

where you think Rozay gonna sign next year?

THE BULLS....


WHATS THE BUCKS CAP SPACE LOOKING LIKE?
HE COULD SIGN THERE AND STILL LIVE AT HOME.

WHATS DENVER & UTAH'S SPACE LIKE?
I DONT THINK HE WOULD WANT TO LIVE IN THOSE PLACES
BUT THEYRE YOUNG TEAMS ON THE RISE.

MAYBE THE LAKERS...
I CAN SEE MAGIC SHAKING SOME THINGS UP.

THE CLIPPERS IF CRIS PAUL LEAVES.

WHATS HOLIDAY SIGNED WITH N.O. AFTER THIS SEASON?

SACRAMENTO IF HES JUST TRYING TO GET PAID.

I CAN SEE DALLAS THROWING SOME MONEY HIS WAY.

JUST BRAINSTORMING...

I CANT REALLY SEE THE KNICKS OFFERING BIG MONEY
BECAUSE THEY WASTED THAT DOUGH ON NOAH.

1) D'Antoni was coach so his offensive scheme was what he was adjusting too.

2) During training camp, the focus was probably to have efficient spacing between him and Amare so Melo's outside shot was probably theorized as being the buffer.

3) Possibly an internal decision to extend his career by making his outside shot a more utilized weapon reducing wear-and-tear.

4) He was NY's Golden child at the time and he probably felt he had more of a green light to do what he wanted.

Interesting thread.

@NYC Rebel SAID MELO WAS BEST INSIDE/OUTSIDE COMBO SCORER IN THE LEAGUE...

BUT THIS nikka ONLY TAKES 13% OF HIS SHOTS AT THE RIM
WHILE 59% ARE FROM 16 FEET OR DEEPER.

WAS HE REFERING TO DENVER MELO?



​

He's delusional Melo is a horrific slasher...

 

[Ron Mexico]

Bully Melo gone forever.

 

[charmander]

he elevated his game to go along with his superstar contract

he turned the corner from flabby to sick

 

[Cognito]

Melo can't make a layup anymore you want him to shoot more of them.
It was good idea for him to shoot more threes.
But than his three pointer dipped and got flabbier.

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

He had mentioned not wanting to post up as much, he thought D'Antoni's system would facilitate that

Game changed

thats wild because he can be fukking devastating in the post

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

He started taking more three's because he came in under D'antoni, and it carried into Woodson's tenure since he decided to keep doing some of the thing's D'antoni was doing on offense too. His best year's came when he was jacking up three's, so it's too bad he didn't have that in his repertoire earlier in his career( back when he was his deadliest around the rim). Melo's ability to shoot off the dribble and spot up from three would've really helped open up those early Denver offenses when they were in the half court, and he probably could've broken 30ppg a couple of times too.

 

[seemorecizzy]

he fell in love with the three playing with dantoni and that kinda transferred over with woodson and the knicks tape team.

then he stopped getting calls when he drove
then he got knee surgery and became a step slower

right now, he gives no fukks and is launching cause the season is over and phil broke his spirit

 

[DIMES]

IT WASNT EVEN GRADUAL.
IT WAS IMMEDIATE.

2011:
13% OF HIS ATTEMPTS WERE THREES WITH DENVER
AND 23% OF HIS ATTEMPTS WERE THREES WITH NY.

IN 7 FULL SEASONS WITH DENVER
40% OF HIS SHOT ATTEMPTS WERE WITHIN 3 FEET OF THE BASKET
AND ONLY 12% WERE FROM THE THREE.

IN SIX SEASONS WITH NY
22% OF HIS SHOT ATTEMPTS WERE WITHIN 3 FEET OF THE BASKET
AND 25% OF HIS SHOTS WERE FROM THE THREE.

THIS SEASON 13% OF HIS ATTEMPTS ARE WITHIN 3 FEET
AND 59% ARE FROM 16 FEET AND DEEPER.



​

If thats true about this season... that's actually really impressive he's averaging 23 ppg
