De'Anthony Melton continues to deliver rising impact to the Golden State Warriors upon his return from a long-term knee injury, dropping a season-high 22 points in an important 120-113 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.
Superstar teammate Stephen Curry even described Melton as a prototypical starting shooting guard in the aftermath of the game, suggesting that it's only a matter of time before the Warriors make that shift to the starting lineup.

The shooting and general offensive efficiency has been the one major aspect missing from Melton's game since his return last month, but recent improvement in that area was punctuated with a big performance against the Bucks.
