Melo is having the summer of a lifetime, between the way he's playing, the knicks being interesting again, and him being turning into Malcom. Let the love-fest continue. :blessed:

LMFAO!

He's been great this summer. Both on and off the court. I think there are probably a bunch of reasons he looks great on the olympic team, which i've laid out above. Hopefully this momentum carries over, and hopefully Hornasexy is watching this style of play, and already cooking up ways to get Melo easy catch and shoot opportunities, along with mismatches he can beast on. :ahh:

Yeah fam, the variables are plentiful. If Melo doesn't lose this rhythm, granted to quality of passers he'll be surrounded by, it's an exciting prospect. Plus Melo's commanding all of the attention and talk right now, but KP's improvement is probably the biggest wild card in the box. I'm pretty optimistic that he'll be making some strides.

Side Note: You seen Lithuania rock? This dude Kuzminskas is intriguing as hell.

People want to compare him to Gallo, but Gallo never had athletism because of his back (and other injuries)

This dude Mindy reminds me of a young Hedo Turkgolu without the passing ability but with a post game. He would a natural fit with a high post passing big like KOQ and a fast breaking guard like Jennings off the bench.

He's longer than I expected. Gotta see how his athleticism and strength holds up with NBA caliber guys, but if he could be a stretch 4 off the bench it'd be nice. I really like how decisive this dude his, he doesn't delay at all and he's confident which puts a lot of pressure on his defender. That could become a negative if he's forcing the issue, but right now I'm really interested to see how he handles NBA talent.
