1. Melo’s Leadership
More than any other campaign in his life, Carmelo Anthony’s leadership has been on full display. And now is not the time to change that.
With a supporting cast including the likes of Kristaps Porzingis, Robin Lopez, Arron Afflalo, Lance Thomas, Langston Galloway, and Derrick Williams, Melo will continue to trust the system and the guys surrounding him.
Are they a championship-caliber team? Of course not. Anthony knows this.
At the same, he also knows what’s on the horizon: cap space to play with during the summer to sign one max player which could turn 2016-17 into a fun ride.
Melo will continue playing team ball first and putting up volume shot number second.
