Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
The Italian forward got his first taste of NBA action in 2019-20, where he enjoyed modest success with the Pelicans. The 28-year-old averaged 6.6 points, 3.0 boards, 1.4 assists and 1.2 triples across 17.4 minutes per contest. Melli started eight games, but his production in those contests wasn't much better than his games off the bench. Melli's playing time was likely inflated in his first season due to Zion Williamson's limitations and late start, but Williamson is expected to be fully healthy to start the 2020-21 season. Known as a three-point specialist, Melli didn't live up to the billing for the most part, as he shot just 33.5 percent from beyond the arc, though he did flash throughout the season. He's not a guy to target in most redraft formats, and he's likely a guy you'll want to consider as a value play in daily lineups if Williamson is forced to miss time and Melli gets a spot start.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not keen on Europe return
Melli wants to stay in the NBA and doesn't want to return to Europe for the 2021-22 season, according to Aris Barkas of Eurohoops.
ANALYSIS
Melli made his NBA debut with the Pelicans during the 2019-20 season but was sent to the Mavericks this year and is now a free agent. Even though the Italian big man wants another shot in The Association, it wouldn't be a stretch to think he might have to return to Europe due to the lack of opportunities available for him stateside.
