Nobody here has yet to disprove Metro's comparison of Melo to Glen. It is a very good comparison.
I'll help: The one big difference between Melo and Glen is that Melo has more 4th quarter comebacks. Also, Melo has a better post game.
Beyond that, I'm not sure.
My big worry is still the fact he has been an isolation player his entire career and we run a different system. There is nothing that garuntees he can make the transition so well.
In addition, Melo is not an automatic three point shooter and Melo's post game will not be utilized in our system. Look at our players, even STAT is a face up player. We will be taking away a huge aspect of Melo's game. So how effective will he be then?
Melo does not make our team better in our current system. And we aren't even there yet with our current roster.
For Example:
Suns stats
05-06 - 110.2 ppg, 47.9% FGP, 39.9%3PP
06-07 - 110.2 ppg, 49.4% FGP, 39.9%3PP
07-08 - 110.1 ppg, 50.0% FGP, 39.3%3PP
Us currently,
10-11 - 108.1 ppg, 46.6% FGP, 36.9%3PP
So how does Melo help our team? We run a system where we have to have range and efficiency. Melo fails at both of those aspects and by taking away his post game he is even a worse player.
