AboveLegit Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Melo Nugs were iso and the Woody Hawks were good.Melo on the Nuggets wasn't a predominantly iso heavy offense. Naturally when you have a scorer like Melo, there are bound to be a handful of plays where he's going 1 on 1, but George Karl is known to run a free flowing offense that features a lot of ball movement and player movement.

NomarFachix Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Melo got majority of the touches and is an iso player. Maybe Karl didn't preach iso, but the offense was iso heavy (and that's probably why Karl was happy to get rid of him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Karl didn't preach iso, but the offense was iso heavy (and that's probably why Karl was happy to get rid of him). Would you consider the Knicks before Melo, when they won 10 straight games or whatever, to be an iso offense? Because that's exactly what Melo's Nuggets were. Melo got his touches and iso opportunities, but the overall offense was based around ball-movement. The sky is blue.

But offenses evolve around the players playing in them, right? lol sky is blue.. umad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But offenses evolve around the players playing in them, right? Before Melo, the Knicks played very similarly to the Melo Nuggets...Amare was getting a ton of iso possessions (averaged like 25PPG due to it), but the Knicks were a free-flowing offense predicated on ball-movement that primarily led to 3-pointers. That is exactly what the Melo Nuggets were, except Melo caught the ball in different spots, and did a little less than Amare as far as off-ball movement is concerned. Either way, neither of those 2 teams were iso offenses, despite the star player getting a ton of iso touches. lol sky is blue.. umad Nope, just willing to see how far you'd go to press your opinion despite the facts and over-whelming majority disproving it. :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here is the % of ISO in the offense this season: Denver Nuggets* 19.5Golden State Warriors 18.1Atlanta Hawks* 17Oklahoma City Thunder* 15.3Memphis Grizzlies 15.1Washington Wizards 14.6Los Angeles Lakers* 14.4Cleveland Cavaliers* 14.3Philadelphia 76ers 14.3Portland Trail Blazers* 13.7 …. Utah Jazz* 9Orlando Magic* 8.1Boston Celtics* 7.7 That's awfully high ISO rate for a team that didn't have a primarily ISO offense.

Nitro Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 This is from the 2010 season:   That's awfully high ISO rate for a team that didn't have a primarily ISO offense. 3 of his 4 last full seasons the Nuggets were top 5 in the league in assists, too. When Billups came aboard and Miller dipped, they became more iso-oriented and the assists went from top 5 to 18th in his last full season (the season you mentioned), but Melo had his career high average (28.9PPG) on a team that was 3rd in the league in assists.
