Has Carmelo Anthony become a lockdown defender?
Carmelo Anthony has never been known for defense.

Which is what makes what's going on in New York right now noteworthy. The Knicks' narrative this season has been all about the emergence of Kristaps Porzingis. But all the hype surrounding the Latvian Ladder has been overshadowing the fact that Carmelo Anthony is playing his best defense in years.

After posting the worst defensive rating of his career last season (110), he's producing a DefRtg of 103.2 this year, which — excluding the lockout season in which he posted a 102 — would be the best mark of his career.

Anthony has made the biggest strides defensively on the perimeter this season, holding opposing shooters to 22.7 percent on 3-pointers. That's the best percentage in the league among players who have defended against at least 70 threes, just edging out LeBron James (22.8), and holding a healthy lead over the likely 2015-16 Defensive Player of the Year in Kawhi Leonard (27.4). Going by NBA.com's differential percentage figures, your 3-pointer is 11.2 percent less likely to go in when being defended by Anthony compared to the league's average defender.

Anthony has also allowed opponents to shoot just 5 of 22 from the corners, despite the league averaging 38.1 percent from that spot. His improvement from beyond the arc isn't getting as much attention as it should be, especially considering he gave up the second-highest 3-point percentage of any wing player to defend 100 threes last season, previously allowing opponents to shoot 41.9 percent against him.
