anthony has surged into the no. 4 spot in the per rankings, he has a similar life-or-death statistical impact on new york's offense, and he deserves huge credit for accepting heavy minutes at power forward. That change takes a physical toll[sup]5[/sup] and spotlights a different set of weaknesses in melo's defensive game — the inattentive help defense along the back line, a lack of size and length to help effectively when actually focused, and occasional reaching laziness on the pick-and-roll. but anthony has battled in the post against bigger guys, holding head-to-head counterparts to just 35 percent on post-up shots, and the knicks signed tyson chandler precisely so they could load up the rest of the roster with offense-first types.
in a broader sense, anthony is essential to new york's identity as a small-ball, spread-the-floor team, and not only because he's shooting 3s better than ever — and more than ever. He can drive to the rim against power forwards and brutalize traditional wings in the post; his inside-out passing from the block has reached a new level of unselfish sophistication. Almost every opponent has to contort its defense in uncomfortable ways in order to deal with carmelo anthony, power forward."
