Melo looked raw , but he isn't slow . He was very fast , when he looked like he knew what he wanted to do or reconized the situation why he is quick as cat for a 7 footer. He is slow to react or make a good decsion during the play. That is inexperience. He has 1/100 of Sully's basketball IQ.
Fab is very cautious, he plays like he might hurt somebody , becasue he is so big. He needs to use his size to postion himself better to claim rebounding space. He doesn't understand how to ocupy certain areas and protect these spots so the rebound will be his.
Sully understands this , its beautiful to watch.
Fab has alot of potiental. So new and raw to NBA basketball.
If he ever figures out anticipation , where the ball will be and to go for the ball with no hestiation with reguard life or limb, not worrying about clobbering anybody dumb enough to get in his way . Then he'll be very useful. This type of reckless energy is what propels Noah, Varejao, Saunders, Manimal , all the rest... not being scard to go after the ball, just react and DO IT/
Fab plays too nice, NBA is not a nice persons sport, he needs to be aggresive and go for the ball .
