Melo has been playing out of position at the four since the arrived in NYC because Amare was broken down for the most part. In addition, Melo is stockier and has a better post up game than Paul George, so it makes sense Melo is more open to playing the four than Paul George.


I am somewhat surprised Melo is open at this point since I would imagine playing the four is partialy the reason his shoulder got screwed up in the past years, but the roster is trash at this point, so I suppose he doesn't have much of a choice in the matter right now.
