This Stat doesn’t really mean much and leaves out a ton of context. It doesn’t take a genius to see Lamelo is a poor defender teams go right at. Maybe they aren’t taking shots on him all the time, but they’re definitely going at him quite often which is usually a sign teams know he can’t guard.
Edit: for those downvoting, Are yall really trying to tell me you think Lamelo is a good defender based off this? I’d really like to know the disagreement here.
The opponent doesn’t need to take shots when Melo is guarding them. They can just easily drive right past him, force the defense to collapse, and then kick it out for a wide open three.
Trade him 4 JT Thor
