With Carmelo Anthony sorted for his future. He’s putting his foot down on where he’s going to play. For the past two years he’s been more at the Power Forward position when his natural position is at the Small Forward. But according to ESPN NY, Carmelo Anthony, he’s planning to do a lot more Small Forward work in the coming seasons.
“We got too many,” Anthony said of power forwards on the roster. “I don’t need to go down there and battle. For what?”
“If it comes down to it, I’ll go back there,” Anthony added. “But I doubt it. They’re going to move me. We’re pretty packed at four and five positions.”
In the triangle, Derek Fisher envisions his players playing multiple positions.
“I mean, Carmelo can play any position in our system,” Fisher said. “It’s not necessarily about the number of the position. I don’t think I can say at the moment what we’ll do.”
Hang on. Carmelo Anthony can play any position?! I find that highly unlikely.
I would love to see Melo be a Point Guard, how painful to watch would that be?
Stick to Small Forward Coach Fisher, you have Power Forward’s, utilise your best player.
