Bringthesonicsback 1,631 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Dropped 9/7/8/2 steals and 1 block in 22 minutes vs Minn. Definitely someone to consider while Ja is out. I really like his steals upside too, he averaged 1.4 per game in just 20mpg last year. In games that he played 23+ minutes.. 8/4.1/4.7 w 2.13 steals and 1 3ball. Decent consolation prize if you missed out on Tyus Jones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4th and 9ers 74 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think there's a real chance that both Melton and Jones have value while Ja is out. I own Ja and am stacking both of them unless one eventually wins out with more playing time. Also, I didn't realize that Melton was a 2018 2nd round pick. He's got a lot of upside/potential if Ja were to miss more time, where as Jones is more or less what he is at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Melton was a heralded "steal of the draft" type player by the Houston Rockets... the second coming of Pat Bev. Then he got traded to the Suns before his rookie season to get out of the bad Ryan Anderson contract. He's been quiet because the Suns are the Suns. Now he is still buried as the third PG in Memphis, but he's showing how good heactually is here. Again his upside is the Pat Bev or Marcus Smart type player. He could be great as the #1 back up guard on a team in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not elite starter potential like Ja but I like your Smart/Bev comparisons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stickman786 226 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Can this guy start at the 2 with Ja? or nah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indigorivers 213 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I added this guy in a 12 man. He's giving me 12 team lines in 20+ minutes. Memphis fan base seems to like him alot and want to see more of him. Hoping that he can carve up a role and when morant comes back he's able to still get 20+ minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
23_gaby_23 216 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Added him for this week and we will see if he can keep this level Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTY 841 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I scooped Jones but thinking of switching. I know what'll happen though, Jones will ball out next game and Melton will be a** 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lifschitz 2,246 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This guy is a legit, I'm very intrigued by him given that their SG/SF spots are crapshoots. Brooks and Crowder suck. Maybe this guy plays combo guard down the line next to Morant. Very fantasy friendly skill set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTY 841 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Fwiw i ended up switching Jones out for Melton as I'll most likely win dimes anyway. Meltons big reb from a guard position and crazy steal rate has me intrigued. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SkalChriston 253 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Stats look like a better shot blocking, 3pt shooting Dejounte. If I didn't already have DJM, would totally take a flier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crock4343 14 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Can he find a way to 20+ minutes a night? Trying to decide if I should swap rondo for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

7614 60 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If he keeps up his play I can see him taking most of Tyus Jones minutes when Morant comes back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavisStuffer 11 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Just added him in 12 Team league for Bruce Brown. I have Jones aswell so will wait and see who is better. Both could do well though as Melton may play some SG too. I own Morant in IR so kinda weird owning all 3 haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
