What those stats don't show is the amount of times teams get layups cause he walking back on defense or arguing with refs.

well there's no stats for that "perceived" laziness... the actual stats show that he contest as many shots per game as a yearly DPOY candidate & he's pretty effective at protecting the rim. Also when talking about "laziness" everyone constantly seems to leave out that he's consistently one of the league leaders in rebounds, a skill that requires effort more than anything.
Also for a guy who supposedly is out of shape, he's top 25 in minutes every season. So unless he has some EXTREMELY negligent coaches i'm gonna lean on the FACTS & not the perception people have.
Boogie absolutely complains about calls too much, so does CP3, So does Bron, So did Kobe, etc etc.... Superstars complain & sometimes give up baskets... however stats show that defensively he's well above average at protecting the rim. & he's more than capable of doing more if he no longer has to shoulder everything on the boards

Coming home might've been the biggest mistake Melo ever made.
Either that or signing a 5 year extension instead of a 3 year extension.

If he didn't take the 5 year extension he more than likely would have been the third Heatle instead of Bosh.

Chasson Randle looking filth out there.
Jamel Artis in the gym putting on for East Baltimore
Randle was strugglin in SL. Defenders were playing up on him & he could barely cross halfcourt.
Artis can shoot it tho; excited about him. Damyean Dotson, too.
'NBA team improved after fleecing 2 franchises'
This is groundbreaking. More teams should do this tbh.

We need to dig deeper on the shots contested numbers cause even DJ is notorious for half contesting to go get a rebound.

Not even trolling but I'm not sure this is as impressive as it's supposed to be
It's not. It's picking an arbitrary moment in a team's history and showing that they're now better. Congratulations.

adding a new player to your roster along with your best defender missing a few games during that time.... dropped their defensive ranking hmmmmmm you don't say

I'm gonna go on past results. The man has never anchored a defense in the top half of the league before coming to the pelicans. When he got to the Pelicans they immediately dropped from 7 to 13.

If Boston goes on to win a chip, or even get to the finals, Danny needs to make sure he shouts out Mikhail Prokohorov

Makes sense why Wade was the only player who liked him on the Bulls and Wiggins is reportedly already looking to be moved.

Haberstroh theorizes that IT actually hurt his hip back in December, but it was misdiagnosed as a groin strain. He quotes a renowned hip specialist who agrees with this theory, calling it "very likely". Haberstroh further speculates that this might have something to do with the dismissal of Celtics medical staff, though the Celtics specifically deny this.
That hip specialist on IT not getting surgery back in May:
That would have been the time to get it fixed. It was a gamble.

so now your penalizing him for not being able to anchor a top defensive team despite the team being overall garbage year in & year out, and switching coaches/schemes yearly... on top of him being the ONLY offensive weapon.
point blank, all the statistics show that he's a MUCH better defender than he's given credit for & isn't a "liability" at all, your acting like i said he's prime Mutumbo or something.

Fact is, his underrated defense isn't good enough to beat golden state. He's going to have to defend on the perimeter for at least 26 mpg. Good luck
