As much as I love Carmelo & I really think that he should've been in the All-Star game last year & he deserves to this year, he needs to contribute more across the board than just scoring. If he could beef up his rebounding average to about 6-7 boards a game & average about 4-5 apg, he'd easily make the All-Star team. He has shown signs of great leadership throughout the FIBA World Championships & if he can do the same thing with Denver (which will be easier because now he has a full-time starter in J.R. Smith), the sky's the limit for him & many people will come to respect him more.
