He has valuable teammates now , so he should look to pass out of the double team or utilize his cross court pass more often to someone open on the wing . It worked wonders last year with Galloway and even Calderon RIPOnly thing is , because of those teammates , Melo really hasn ' t been getting doubled . Teams were consistently trying to force the ball out of his hand last year , and he was finding open shooters . This season with Rose and Kristaps improving , teams have to try and play melo 1 on 1 , which is part of the reason ' s he ' s been so efficient . That being said , while they ' re not doubling him as much as they did last year , the defense has been drawn in to clog the paint . Doesn ' t matter because he ' s been hitting the midrange so well , but you can see watching these highlightsjuRgNpEc 9 wIt 245 s , that while they ' re not as open as last year , he ' d have a lot more room to work with if he hit lee or jennings some more . Cool post overall .
