Fab Melo makes some progress against Cornell

Fab Melo might stand 7-feet tall and weigh 244 pounds and wear sneakers that would comfortably house the little old lady who lived in a shoe and all her children, but it’s all about baby steps right now for the Syracuse freshman.
Melo, who had looked lost in Syracuse’s first six games, took some baby steps in the Orange’s 78-58 win over visiting Cornell on Tuesday night.
Melo registered modest career-highs in nearly every major statistical category with eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks against the Big Red.
“That was my best (game) so far,’’ Melo said, “but I think it can get much better.’’
He scored Syracuse’s first points of the game, dunking off a nice entry pass from Rick Jackson. He followed that up with a blocked shot. Later, Scoop Jardine Waiters drove and dished to Melo, who threw down another dunk.
“I was moving my feet better,’’ Melo said. “I was rebounding and blocking shots. That’s what I do.’’
The solid performance came less than a week after Melo’s low point of the early season. After Melo gave up three scoring opportunities in less than four minutes against Michigan last Friday, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim removed him from the game and kept the young center on the bench for the remainder of the game.
Syracuse junior Kris Joseph noted that Melo’s been getting extra help from senior forward Rick Jackson and former SU center Arinze Onuaku.
“He’s been struggling a little bit,’’ Joseph said. “The college game’s different. He has a mentor like Rick Jackson, helping him. That’s been working out well in practice and after practice. Even Arinze. He’s still a voice that we hear a lot and he’s been trying to help Fab a lot.’’

Fab Melo has battled a sore Achilles

Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim revealed on a conference call today that center Fab Melo has been nursing an injury to his Achilles tendon that has slowed his progress.

"His Achilles has been sore for a couple weeks and he's having trouble getting up and down the court like we need him to," Boeheim said. "That's held him back."

Boeheim, too, said he had just returned from the doctor's office to have his dislocated finger attended to.

The SU coach spoke on a conference call for the Jimmy V Classic. The Orange plays Michigan State Tuesday at 9 p.m. in Madison Square Garden. Kansas faces Memphis at 7 p.m.

Mas, parece cru. Vai ter tempo para ficar no college e ganhar experiência.

Tem jogado 13 minutos dos 40 disponiveis, é uma média interessante pra um caloro, ainda cru.
