Duncan is also a respectable choice....I just think Duncan's prime has passed and we've seen the best he's going to be...he ain'tgetting no better....

I can agree with that. You definitely could make a case for Melo being top 5, I just think he needs to work on his Defense a lil more. Melo's not a liability, but because Dwight is such a beast defensively and still gets around 20 a game i gotta put him up there for now. I do see Melo becoming a no question top 5 player in the L this season though. Offensively he's already there, and is one of the most clutch players in the L
I can respect that sir...like I said Dwight deserves my 6 spot....

If you basing that list on progression...then you might as well rank KD over Melo because he certainly has a much higher ceiling due to his heightand length

Big year for him, it'll be interesting to see if this team can match last year's success. He arguably has more talent around him than any other eliteplayer in the league.

he aint a leader. imo to be top 5 you gotta be a leader..
when i watch bron, kobe, whistle i know its there team. when i watch Denver it aint always the case...
even before chauncey got there Melo was just putting up numbers to me.

No, I NEVER said he was a better talent than Melo. But hes a better player

how is it ok to say he is offensively ?
you take him on that side over...say...bron , kobe, wade, cp3 and duncan ...really?
skill set would be a better argumen t

The only layers that I can say I definitely, ABSOLUTELY would take before Melo if we were picking players to build teams around... are LeBron and Wade.I'dhave to wrestle with different reasons on who to take if I were stuck with Melo or Kobe, or Melo or Howard, or picking up Melo or Paul, or Melo or Duncan, Meloor Dirk.
I'd wrestle with the age of Duncan and Kobe and Dirk's, Howard's intensity and commitment, Paul's consistency, and different things withdifferent players.
But if I were given the option of Melo or LeBron, I'm going with LeBron, Melo or Wade, I'm going with Wade.
Mainly because of Melo's defensive issues, as already mentioned in the thread. Offensively, he's got a huge arsenal, big talent, and he's clutch.

I think he's upped his game defensively.
It's just when you got a team coached by Karl, you're bound to have mental lapses.
