Carmelo Anthony feels revitalized in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony said he feels "born again" following last month's trade from the New York Knicks.
“I’m, like, born again a little bit,†Anthony said this month. “I feel like I’m in college again. It’s like a college campus, and just being around, and the city is kind of that college feel and the energy, the joy that I have back with the game of basketball, I can feel it." After a turbulent end to his career in New York, Melo appears to be embracing his third NBA home ahead of an age-33 campaign. As the third option in the Thunder's offense behind Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, look for Anthony's numbers to drop a bit this season.
numberFire's models project Carmelo to average 19.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.7 3-pointers per game in 2017-18 while recording a 44.6 field goal percentage and 34.2 3-point percentage.
