NBA draft 2003: Best draft class of the new millennium

3. Carmelo Anthony:

#7 of the Carmelo Anthony with the New York Knicks

The reigning NBA season scoring champion has the ability and possesses the skill set on the offensive end to take over any game. However he has never made it to the Finals and has a lone appearance in the Conference Finals with the Denver Nuggets in 2009. His years at Denver were disappointing as made it past the first round just once, although each time having terrific regular season.

A 6 time All-Star, “Melo” was traded to the Knicks in the midseason of 2011 and first season for the Knicks, he averaged a double double in the Playoffs. His move to the Knicks however did not help his championship hopes, losing the first two years in the first round to the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat and this year they lost in the Conference semis once again to Pacers.

A 6 time selection to the All NBA teams, Anthony was also voted the MVP of the All Star Rookie Challenge in 2005 as a sophomore. He has been a part of the USA National team and has won gold at the Olympics twice in 2008 and 2012 after a disappointing bronze at Athens in the 2004 Olympics.
