Check out the latest buzz below.
Anthony to Primarily Play Small Forward
Carmelo Anthony has been playing power forward a lot for the past two seasons but will play primarily at small forward in the upcoming season.
“We got too many,” Anthony said of power forwards on the roster. “I don’t need to go down there and battle. For what?”
“If it comes down to it, I'll go back there. But I doubt it. They’re going to move me. We’re pretty packed at four and five positions,” he added, reported ESPN.
“I was always a small forward,” Anthony added. “Coach K [USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski] made me a power forward.”
Coach Derek Fisher says that most of the players will be playing multiple positions within the triangle offense.
“Our wing players do the same things on both sides of the floor,” Fisher said.
“So it just depends on what’s ultimately best for the team ... We like the big guys on our roster right now, so we at least want to give them an opportunity. But we'll see how it goes over these next couple weeks.”
