He only played 6 games last season, with a shooting percentage of only 40%. He was seriously injured, but it triggered a snatch from multiple teams!

After the end of the season, a problem was placed before the NBA official, that is, although the NBA's confrontation is not as fierce as before, due to the increase in the number of rounds, the players' running has increased significantly, which has led to a much higher fatigue accumulation than in the past. It is precisely because of this that many players, including Jason Tatum, Thales Halliburton and others, have suffered serious injuries caused by tearing the Achilles tendon, which is very rare in the past. After all, tearing the Achilles tendon is largely due to excessive fatigue, and the type of injury that eventually occurs. Whether this risk can be avoided in the future and reduce the incidence of injuries is a question that Adam Xiaohua and his team need to think about.

Among these players with torn Achilles tendon, there is one impressive one, Dantoni Melton. He only played 6 games for the Warriors this season, and was seriously injured and announced the season's reimbursement in advance. Although he could contribute 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in these 6 games, his shooting percentage reached only 40.7% at that time, and his data was not that outstanding. But surprisingly, he, who has now become a free agent, has triggered a snatch from many teams, including teams such as the Clippers, Lakers, and Bucks. So why do these teams have such a special liking for Melton, whose efficiency seems average, let’s find out below!

1. Excellent double-energy guard, relatively stable three-point shooting.

First, let's talk about Melton's offensive role. His shooting percentage last season was only 40.7%, which is indeed the real data, but don't be confused by this number. Behind this is his three-point shooting percentage of 37.1%, and in his only 6 games, he scored 13 three-pointers, which proved that he is a stable three-point shooter in terms of output and shooting efficiency. This is enough to help him get a good contract in this small ball era where three-pointers are the main ones. After all, in the past few years, whether he plays for the Grizzlies and the 76ers, whether as a substitute or a starter, he has been able to adapt to the team's lineup and provide enough firepower output. The average contribution of 9.1 points per game so far in his career is also satisfying. In addition, he is also an excellent double-sports guard. In addition to three-point shooting, his ball-control ability also reassures the team. Although his organizational ability was not that excellent, at the time of the second team, he was able to allow the main players to rest and adjust in a limited time. It can be said that Melton's role in the offensive end is still very obvious. If he can ensure sufficient attendance, he will be a top champion puzzle.

2. The defensive gate on the outside line has a lot of experience in defense.

Of course, what Melton is most attracted to is actually his excellent defensive ability. He was able to get stable playing time with the Grizzlies and the 76ers as a second round pick, relying on top outside defense. Although he is only 1.88 meters tall, he weighs 90 kilograms, and with a terrifying arm span of 2.04 meters, this static talent determines that Melton will be a top outside defender. Moreover, his defensive awareness is very good. He can always predict the route of the pass and accurately complete steals through fast lateral movements. So far in his career, he can contribute 1.4 steals per game, which is enough to prove his ability on the defensive end. In addition to defense, he can also quickly complete offensive and defensive conversions, and quickly push the team's fast break counterattack while stealing, which means that Melton's ability is not restricted. He can fully serve as the team's offensive and defensive hub and play an important offensive and defensive role in the second team. Of course, even if he mixes and matches with the first team, he can still use his 3D attributes, which means that his adaptability to different tactics is very considerable.

3. Behind the low attendance rate is a very cost-effective contract.

Finally, let’s talk about the most worrying issue for fans, that is, Melton’s injury, indeed, he only played 6 games last year and has only played 44 games in the past two seasons. Such attendance rate is difficult to reassure fans. However, since some teams are interested in Melton, they naturally consider the risk of his injury. Therefore, in the future, they will definitely be careful and protect him in the regular season as much as possible, so that he can adapt to the intensity of the game while slowly increasing his playing time, so as to play a role in the playoffs. In addition, don't forget one thing, that is, frequent injuries will make Melton's contract lowered, and the team is also taking the initiative in negotiating with him. In addition to being able to sign with him at the lowest market price, the contract period can also be limited to about 2 years, thereby ensuring sufficient flexibility and avoiding him from being seriously injured again and causing the team's salary space problem. Therefore, don't be afraid of his injury history. If he can sign Melton, it will definitely be a cost-effective contract.
