Because Melton's 21/5 and +24 off the bench is a negative too ?

Didn't watch the game, but Melton highlights look decent. He is physically more ready to play in the NBA than Okobo, looking a bit like Bledsoe here.

Yeah, if he can shoot and score like that, then we should start him with Booker out. A lot of that was in garbage time, but I'll take it and give him a shot to get more minutes. Have to change some things up.

that is what people said about Okobo last week after he scored 19 points in a game. Suns fans need to stop getting ahead of themselves about a player whenever someone plays well in a game. you should be old enough to know that playing well in a game means nothing.

Well, we have to start one of the two unless you are advocating starting Crawford. I say run with the hot hand. If he sucks and Okobo comes in and kills it, start him the next one. Reward a good performance. It's not like we have a bunch of options.

I've been alone on Melton Island all year. I think Melton's a player, and Okobo's a prospect. DM is a difference maker and deserves to be on the court, and nothing I've seen from Okobo has given me cause to think similarly of him.
.... It's not in the stats (except for last night's, obvi). You have to watch the games. Melton belongs out there.

They've each played one good game. Just glad they got some time in the G league and each needs plenty of game time now with Booker out. Melton obviously went more against guys in garbage time but he certainly looked good. There are certainly a lot of people high on Melton, whether twitter or here. If Melton's offense is there and his turnovers stay down those are huge pluses. Okobo usually better on offense I think, but we need the defense and when Melton is going offensively we need to ride him.

Only game in which Melton's gotten meaningful minutes. Okobo's had a few chances. But it's not even that. Melton is able to get close to his man on defense on a consistent basis. He gets to loose balls, makes steals, passes quickly, keeps moving when the ball's in his hands, seems more consistent and confident in his shot, scores from various spots on the floor, demonstrates creative passing...
It's just the eye test. Maybe twittersphere is different, but on this MB, I feel like I'm watching a different game when it comes to this kid. I think he's special and deserves the PT. Where my fellow fans at with the DM love??
