Carmelo Anthony Small Forward Denver Nuggets (6th Season)
Carmelo went into the league as a superstar. He was in the famous draft class of Lebron, Melo, D Wade, and Bosh (amongst others). Coming off of a National Championship at Syracuse as a freshman, Melo had his sights set real high.
Although Melo has already scored 10,000 points in his young career, he has been overshadowed for a large part of his career by Lebron and D Wade's success, especially postseason success. Before this season Anthony had never escaped the first round of the NBA Playoffs. That is not all to his detriment but when you are looking to be a NBA Superstar you must advance in the playoffs.
Melo's best moments have been at the helm of Team USA or even at Syracuse. The upcoming series with the Lakers will be a chance for Anthony to propel himself into the league's elite.
Anthony averaged 23 points and 7 rebounds this year for the Nuggets. He also improved defensively, and with the help of new PG Chauncey Billups learned to play as a team, and help the team in ways other than just putting the ball through the net. Up until this season Anthony had been thought to have College 3pt range, this season he shot a very respectable 37% from downtown.
Carmelo Anthony definitely has the ability to shoot himself up the list of NBA players all the way to top 5. This will depend on his ability to stick with the team concept enough to lead the Nuggets into the NBA Finals, and possibly Championship(s). This season was a definite step in the right direction for Carmelo, and his future is bright. He will never have the highlights of Wade and Bron, but eventually he may have as many or more victories.
