Here's why I'm not so keen on Melvin: Of the 9 guys averaging at least 10 minutes played, he has the lowest shooting percentage. On 3's he's horrendous at 19%. But he's taken the most shots so far. Obviously DP's return is going to change the shot volume. I don't pay attention to defense as much as I should and it's certainly a virtue to behold when it's done well. He's a good rebounding guard, blocks some shots, nearly 1 per game, leads the team in thefts, although DP is averaging more. I do love his energy and his confidence. I really love when a kid toils in the low majors and suddenly is starting for a blue blood on what is looking to be a very good team. I'll do my darndest to appreciate him more than I do.
