Melo's D is soft right now, but he's a rookie, and he will get better on that end. He's a huge reason the Nuggets are having success, and if his coach would actually be dumb enough to bench him I'd be willing to bet that he wouldn't have a job. Melo is better than Glenn Robinson right now, and he's only gonna get better. Darko isn't even as good as Kurt Rambis.
BTW, Glenn Robinson averages just over 20 points, a little over 6 boards a game for his career, shoots over 45% from the field, and over 80% from the line for his career....
Come talk to me when Darko surpasses those statistics.
Melo is already there.
