Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard CJ McCollum believes Carmelo Anthony will be a good addition to the team despite what the outside pundits are saying.
McCollum says Anthony “can do a lot of things” and that the Blazers will find the proper ways to utilize the 10-time All-Star.
“He’s a veteran guy, been in the league for a long time, can do a lot of things,” McCollum said, via Casey Holdahl of Blazers.com. “Rebounding – something he can do right away – pick-and-pop, obviously he plays in the midrange but can still shoot threes. We’ll see how he fits in when he gets here but I think there’s a lot of ways we can use him and utilize him.”
Anthony isn't expected to make his debut with the Blazers until at least Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Blazers are currently on a six-game road trip.
Anthony still needs to complete his physical. The future Hall of Famer hasn't played in an NBA game for over a year. He averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds with the Houston Rockets last season while shooting 40.5 percent from the field, 32.8 percent from beyond the arc and 68.2 percent from the free-throw line.
Melo will most likely come off the bench for Portland.
