toney douglas couldn't create his own shot or knock down open ones.
landry fields couldn't create his own shot or knock down open ones.
jared jeffries couldn't create his shot or knock down open ones.
mike bibby couldn't create his own shot and was a mediocre outside shooter.
shumpert was able to create his shot but he was incredibly streaky and his confidence wavered after that nightmare of a game he had against memphis.
amare came into the season too heavy to get past fours and he couldn't knock down a shot to save his life.
tyson couldn't create his own shot and our backcourt couldn't hit him cutting to the rim(melo was the only guy able to hit him somewhat consistently on his cuts to the rim)
jorts of all people was the only guy in our rotation knocking down open shots and he was getting his shots.
so who exactly was melo taking touches away from pre-linsanity? and if we parked carmelo on the bench when he was injured over that stretch of games who do you run the offense through?
