With Mello not being a facilitator, he makes the Knicks easy to defend. Pretty much one can just play the numbers game. An NBA player shoots between 28-48% . You figure Mello will make atleast half his shots.
If he is going to stop the ball like he does and go iso it favors the defense because he will shoot some where between 28-48%. From a coaching stand point you would live with Mello going iso because he most likely will shoot under 40%.
All you now have to do as a defense is stay on your man and let Mello shoot. He needs to take a page out of Lebrons book. Lebron puts alot of pressure on the defense because he gets role players easy high percentage shots. Mello is killing his team.
