Can the offense not focus on Melo this year?

Just like STAT a few weeks ago right?

He's playing horribly on offense but this man is far from an awful player in fact he's really the best player on this team.


Melo is horrible when he is forcing up contested shots/trying to be the man (which is most of the year). He is playing better now but his shots selection are still awful sometime.

Melo needs to step up now that Stat is out. He needs to play like a 20Mil a year player, not an avg joe.

^ agreed that he needs to step up. his shot selection needs to be much better and he needs to see the basket a lot better. his groin issue is not good either. if he loses some lift because of it it means defenders effect his shot more. the knicks need to keep up good ball movement and get quality looks and make them. and that means guys like fields and shump and lin and davis need to hit at a good clip.

But the offense needs to be melo-centric, especially with STAT out. Look forward to even more iso melo. which may not be a bad thing as that is where melo is more comfortable, especially on the low block... he needs to get to the rim and, more importantly, to the charity stripe.
