Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 3035150, member: 6798"] You are unfortunately spot on about Mellen. He truly is one of the best 1 v 1 guys in the nation, and I would say actually #1 when it comes to going up against the smaller and faster types, but I have seen too many tentative slides and lapses on team defense to be perfectly comfortable with him. He also has a tendency to quickly slide to his man if they get switched off somehow. Did that once when Dearth was on Spencer and once when a short stick was on Teat in the 2018 playoff game, both with predictably devastating results. That really does show a hyper focus on the pre-assigned matchup. He obviously gets a pass for this on some level since he also shuts complete studs out of the game entirely, but he isn’t 100% perfect. [/QUOTE]
