I agree. I dont see anything bad with his footwork.

Westbrook is a pretty unique player. 

I think Fultz is probably Deron Williams

He is more athletic that deron williams. I see Brandon Roy, Harden, Gilbert Arenas or Baron Davis. If he can get his shot back from college.

In the past. Here it does look pretty standard but in the past he generally looked heavy footed. Shot looks real good though. He might just get over 20 a game this season. Maybe an all star invite. We’ll see.

i got a good laugh at this one. I can see melo face. The magic said what... lol

I’m glad you can get a good laugh but when a guy is fighting to stay in the league he will take whatever he can get. Laugh all you want but Melo coming off the bench is exactly what we need with all the defense we have and no legitimate go to iso scorer. Again I’d take a flyer as long as he knows his role is to come off the bench and be a scoring specialist.

I watched his interview with Stephen A. Smith and came away really impressed with Melo.  I believe at this point you would get the very best of him.

Let’s be honest: it’s clear as day why Anthony isn’t on an NBA roster at the moment. The game has passed him by, as iso scorers who dominate the ball and don’t play any defense are a thing of the past, and when that iso scorer is 35 years old and five years past his prime, the situation becomes that much stickier.

Anthony played in 10 games for Houston this past season and averaged 13.4 points per game while shooting 40.5 percent from the floor and 32.8 percent from three-point range. Those aren’t good numbers.

As far as his one-year stint in Oklahoma City? Anthony registered 16.2 points per game but made just 40.4 percent of his field-goal attempts and 35.7 percent of his long-distance tries.

It’s not like Anthony excels in any other areas to make up for his lack of efficiency, either. He isn’t a good facilitator. He isn’t a good defender. The only area in which he has truly performed well throughout his entire NBA career has been scoring, and he can no longer do that at a high level, or even a mediocre level.

The fact of the matter is that Anthony is plainly not the same player he was five years ago, and even the player he was five years ago was not exactly a player that a whole lot of teams coveted.

Anthony can also say that coming off the bench isn’t an issue as much as he wants, but it’s obvious that the 30 teams in the NBA don’t feel the same way, and it’s also obvious that none of those clubs think Anthony can effectively play in the modern NBA, particularly in his current state.

It does look a lot smoother and effortless.  But I never trust videos of NBA guys in gyms with nobody guarding them making shots.

Yeah. I don't think it really means anything.

Only means something if the ball consistently finds him during the game.  He has to demand it from Vuc and Evan.

Its also the coaches job to run certain plays and sets in order to facilitate those looks for players. If we stop running the offense through Vuc and let AG handle the ball more he will not only score more but also set up his teammates with good looks which will also lead to more wins. AG showed in the playoffs he can handle the ball and score efficiently. Let’s unleash him this season along with the rest of our young guys. I’m tired of relying on Vuc and Fournier every year to come up with the same results. If we want growth we need to put our players in positions to succeed.

It's still crazy that this is what MCW looked like in his first career game

And that was the best game of his career so far. 

Obviously the difference between starters and bench players isn't peak so much as it is consistency. But I wonder if we can get a few more games like this out of him:
