A-. Anthony takes a lot of heat from fans and front office people alike; we are looking at you, Phil Jackson. While he has a bad rap, he just wants to win. He still believes the best way of doing that is scoring the basketball and we have seen it work multiple times this season. He has an off shooting night every now and then, but so does every player; his are just blown out of proportion for whatever reason. Anthony remains a lethal offensive player that is gaining trust in his teammates. He has never had this kind of scoring prowess around him and it is an adjustment of sorts. That side of the ball things will come; he needs to set the tone more often defensively. He is the leader of the team; he does it everyone else will follow suit. Through a quarter of the season, the effort on that side of the ball has been too inconsistent. Per Game Averages: 33.7 MIN, 22.4 PTS, 6.0 REB, 2.5 AST, 0.95 STL, 0.41 BLK, 19.1 PER. Small Forward. New York Knicks. CARMELO ANTHONY
