Sorta surprising, sorta not.

I would have liked to have seen what he could have done with a healthy Zion for a full year.

BI and Ball are underperforming also. They looked awful in the bubble. That team has talent

But that was to be expected for some teams. Not every team was gonna go into that situation and play like the Suns miraculously did. Some teams played well, some played ok and some played horribly and lost the chemistry they had during the season. s**t happens, and I don't think its fair to judge a team off of 8 games.

For good reason though. He was out of shape and selfish, he's now in shape and is playing team oriented ball. He finally put his ego in check.

Great players usually find a way to work things out.

But he's never been a winner because his game was never complete. All he did was score. Never played defense that well or elevated his teammates. He's a complimentary piece now and contributing, but he's replaceable as hell

Ya. I've always been somewhat of a Melo fan. He's been such a great scorer, and a very efficient scorer as well. But he never played team ball, never played defense, at his size he could've been a very good rebounder, but never did that either. Great scorer, but that's all you could say about Melo.
