We have no big man on our roster who you can throw the ball to at the elbow and run cuts off of or run off the ball offense with. Last year, KP made small strides in his passing and my hope he we would continue to try to improve this, but we have not see much this season. Right now, we pass it to one of our big man and it is either and hand off or the rotate the ball to the other side.
We have only seen Melli for 11 minutes and maybe this is not something he can do, but for at least one game he looked comfortable doing this a couple of possessions. It is something I thought was desperately needed to not be so dependent on Luka creating most of our offense. Best case with Melli this addition would be limited but it could be something different.
It seems like I remember Melli making a pass that resulted in a teammate getting a shot, but I haven't gone back and double-checked. Agree that if he is a good passer, he would add a new dimension, rather than just being a more limited version of the players ahead of him. The winds seem favorable!
