Carmelo Anthony's days as a franchise player have long since passed, but the 10-time All-Star has successfully reinvented himself into one of the game's better bench players.
In his nineteenth season, Anthony is averaging 16.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in 27 minutes per game with the Lakers, but it's the manner in which he's getting his numbers that has impressed.

The former scoring champion has been exceptional from beyond the arc through the Lakers' first 7 games this season where he's shooting 52.2% on 6.6 attempts per game and leads the league with 20 made catch-and-shoot threes.
