Melo's quick release is def underrated. The blazers were able to steal a couple games in the bubble because Melo was able to hit some tough 3s in the clutch before a defender could close out. I think he's underrated as a pull up shooter because he's so fast at getting it off.

Melo is the last pure hooper of a generation. He actually worked on scoring combos and counters and how to get his jab step/hard dribble release to perfection from either the post, mid range or three. And to me Melo has always had the perfect basketball body. Perfect height, not to muscular or skinny but big enough to bump wit the big guys and lean enough to blow by you if need be But Now a days, kids are just hesi-chucking 3s Or tween/ step back -chucking 3s And nobody really works out no more cause you don’t need muscle to chuck 3s
