There were a lot of doubters when it was announced that Carmelo Anthony was returning to the NBA, signing a contract with the Portland Trail Blazers in November.
His signing has largely been a success though. Some clutch plays in games, combined with surprising defense and decent production has meant he has been a great signing on the veterans minimum. When this team was desperate, Melo stepped up and has filled the gap at power-forward all year.
Though his efficiency has waned a bit in the month of February, he is a good enough shooter that this should spring back in the next week or two.
