Daily News | Despite late blunder against Bulls, De’Anthony Melton returning to ‘De’Anthony stuff’ for Sixers
“I wouldn’t say it’s anything specific,” Melton said of his recent uptick. “Just staying in the gym, understanding where and when I can attack and just having the confidence in myself and that teammates are instilling in me, too.”
The fifth-year guard said the primary difference when he moves to a bench role is holding more ballhandling and playmaking responsibilities when Maxey and/or Harden is off the floor. When Melton is off the ball, the Sixers have also recently emphasized getting him out of the corners and to the wing, where he is a more effective three-point shooter. He made five of his first eight deep shots Monday, before missing all four attempts in the two overtime periods.
Coincidentally, Rivers on Saturday called Melton “the best foul-to-give guy ever,” because of his “spectacular” ability to gamble for steals before intentionally drawing a whistle.“That’s on both of us,” Rivers said.Reserve wing Jalen McDaniels was added to the Sixers’ injury report Wednesday with the hip bruise thatMcDaniels played in the Sixers’ past two games, but appeared to be in visible discomfort while moving on the floor.
