Re: The AI they traded for

iverson needs to learn he's not the man. his old team is doing better now that he is out the door. he's got amazing and still inconsistent offensive skills. he's got to scrap the bulk (the quantity shooting) and focus on quality.

in the half court, option number one has to be find melo. and if melo isnt double teamed, he is going to convert a high percentage. likely teams will be forced to double team. remember against the clippers in the playoffs they triple teamed him.

with melo drawing double coverage he then needs to focus on finding open cutters and guys on the wing. The bigs need to set screens and flash to the basket. the guards need to find a open spot on the floor. blake, ai, and jr smith all should shoot a good percentage of open looks in a half court set. AI and Smith could both do plenty of cutting to the basket too.

They just need direction. I think AI would focus on finding Melo in the low and high post positions and then move off screens and roll out to the wing and or cut to the basket.

he just needs a coach that demands AI do that instead of being the old ai. because the old ai doesnt work.

when melo is on the bench, or when the offense is stagnent... then AI can attack the basket and throw it up... thats way better than somebody chuckin up an contested outside shot. but right now nobody believes ai can be effective without the ball in his hands. karl doesnt even believe that. fact of the matter is..... if he is more open off a cut going to the basket.... he's going to be able to convert it easier than trying to break the ankles of his defender... and then get around the shot blocker backing the defender up
