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.
