The triangle is perfect for Melo. Contrary to popular belief, Melo can play D. He was actually 30th in rebounds and 42nd in steal per game last year. Not too shabby for just an offensive player. Just a stigma that he's been labeled with but if people ever watched him they would see that he can defend and busts his ass battling down low.

Actually blocked more shots and had more steals per game than Blake but everyone loves Blake and his awesome dunks.
