The discussion about Melo's evaluation should be after his tenure in the Blazers. We are talking about the average here.
He is currently adjusting to the phase with a new team, new teammates, a new environment and coming from a long hiatus and drama in the real action on the court. Just imagine how much pressure he is currently dealing with as everyone is expecting him to show good performance at every game. This is his last opportunity so I believed he is working really hard for that.
Again, let's do the talk after several games. Their next game is against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of the tough teams in the league that needed a serious approach in terms of defense. Let's see how Melo will deal on this.
