Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 1531979, member: 767"] The thing with the assists for Melo is he has the ball a ton so by virtue of that he's going to be ok in raw assist numbers. if you go back to his last full season, 2013-14, there were 62 qualified SF; Melo was 47th in assist rate. The year prior to that, he was 61 out of 65. Year before that, 29 out of 64, so better, but he gets assists more because he has the ball in his hands a lot than anything else. Which is fine, he's a really gifted scorer. i was too busy at the Mets game on saturday night, so I didn't see the Knicks at all. Sounded like Melo was awesome. I really think their best bet might be for Melo to be great and work out a trade to a contender in a few months. [/QUOTE]
