Nuggets' Head Coach George Karl wants more out of Carmelo Anthony on the defensive end, according to the Denver Post.
"We all think — from players, coaches to the organization — that Melo has constantly made improvement," Nuggets' Coach George Karl said. "Now, is he there yet? I think we want more. I think he wants more."
"I believe all leadership in young players comes through your action and attitude on a positive energy basis," Karl said. "I'm not a guy who believes you can take days off and games off because that takes away your ability to lead. I think Melo's in a stage in his career to where his next step is — how he carries his team to play better. Not how he plays better, but how he carries his team to play better."
