I agree with you but that's why Melo will never be elite. one player playing lazy defense can be the difference and it rubs off on the other players. Also, when Melo was in Denver you knew when the ball got to him it was going to stop. So the other players would stop running around and trying to get open knowing it was useless and it became 1 on 5 ball. I'm not a Melo hater, I didn't boo him when he came back to Denver, he put the team on the road to 10 years of playoffs (disappointing as they were). But he has some pretty big weaknesses when it comes to building a championship team.
