De’Anthony Melton 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/19/2021)

https://youtu.be/TnOaY77bm1w De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony wasn’t even a good three-point shooter last season: 28.6% on 2.3 attempts per game. That percentage is low enough that he probably shouldn’t have even been shooting them. But this season, he’s shooting a mind-blowing 46.3% on 4.1 attempts per game. That’s an insane amount of improvement from one…

De’Anthony Melton 23 Points Full Highlights (3/29/2021)

https://youtu.be/KQ6fpwQwPtQ It’s sad to say, but in my state of semi-retirement, I find that I have completely (and possibly… irrevocably???) lost my ability to remember where all the apostrophes in NBA players’ names go. It wasn’t always my strongest area of NBA knowledge, but over time I developed an extremely solid understanding of which NBA…

De’Anthony Melton 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/2/2021)

https://youtu.be/BVwann9gNds Maybe I’m just broken, but I cannot force myself to get excited for the concept of a player setting a career-high in three-pointers made. The only career-high that gets my juices flowing is a career-high in points. Any other career-high is just “meh” unless it also happens to be setting a team- or NBA-wide…

De’Anthony Melton 20 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2021)

https://youtu.be/nmkOYqqVbyw De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony is assuredly one of the better backup point guards in the league. Where exactly he appears on that list, however, is not a factoid that I am capable of providing. It seems like he’s a top five backup PG, but in order to make an OFFICIAL DTB DETERMINATION on…

De’Anthony Melton Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (2/20/2020)

De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony just amassed a career high in points by scoring nine points in the final 23 seconds of the game. Obviously some very weird things have to happen in order for a player to put up a scoring burst that, while not really rivaling T-Mac’s 13 in 33 seconds in terms…

De’Anthony Melton 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)

De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony is playing well enough as Ja Morant’s backup (or is Tyus Jones the backup? hmmmm) that I feel comfortable bestowing upon him a new title: Shelvin Mack 2.0. Contain your gasps of surprise. Mack, who once led the Magic in assists per game with almost four, is a lofty bar…

De’Anthony Melton 16 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)

De’Anthony Melton AKA DeMelto Anthony was mostly known last season as one of the point guards on the Suns who attempted to ruin Deandre Ayton’s young career. It wasn’t really Melton’s fault, it was just that the Suns had no starting-quality point guards, which resulted in a carousel of starters: Melton started the most games…

De’Anthony Melton 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/11/2018)

When did the Suns sign Jawun Evans? When De’Anthony Melton passed to him for an assist and the commentator said “Evans on the pull-up”, I had no idea what was going on. My first thought was Jacob Evans, but he’s still on the Warriors (and sucking), and then I had no second thought because my…
