Is Carmelo Anthony Still Top 10? *Seriously??* 4/8/12

[cdonwashisname]

Why wasn't this made last year or the year before? We have to wait to he has the worst season of his career to question this.

Right now he might not even top 10 in his division but let's see what happens if he makes the playoffs

Melo has been the Most Overrated and most importantly the Most Overpaid player since Rashard Lewis. This guy really thinks he's a top 5 player as well, thats what really irks me.
He's not even top 15 in my book, Ive said multiple times on this board that I'd rather have Rudy Gay any day.

I get hated on, especially by Knick fans for saying this. Guess people confuse realism with being a "hater". I'm a Knicks fan, always have and always will. Doesn't mean I have to be a Melo fan because he puts on the Jersey. Players come and go.

^ That's respectable. I had a friend who really hated Lebron since he came to the league and knew he was a scumbag all along...nobody agreed and he got hated on...then became the most agreeable person around.

Yes hands down Melo is still in the Top Ten if he was still playing in Denver this would not even be a subject

Let's not sit here and act like this guy wasn't a top 8 player as recently as 2011. Now though..he's far from the top 10

Sn: Lamarcus Aldridge is overated. Idk how guys hate Chris bosh, and love Aldridge when LA is doing what bosh did in 2010 lol

He is a volume scorer, to best effective he needs a lot of shots. With the knicks he just isn't getting enough touches to even out all of his shots.

  Melo takes about 18 shots a game so i dont know how this is relevant

 

[throwedindagame]

Volume scorer is the worst term ever. Anybody in the NBA 8th who gets enough chances to take shots will score 20 ppg.

If you are labeled a volume scorer, you are inefficient and overrated.

Melo taking ~20 shots per game, dude is a clown.

i never and i mean NEVER seen melo as  franchise player. he's a glorified overrated starter with a cool nickname

This. Melo is a good player, but he aint EVER been top ten, at least not since he's reached the NBA. He's a scorer, nothing more. He's never been worthy of being called a franchise player. Denver messed him up imo, they made him think he was that man y'all thought he was, this made any chances of him ever developing into a leader, or a franchise player, or even a winner almost non existent. He could've been an actual elite dude, but he never developed into being anything more than a role player. A damn good scoring option, nothing more nothing less.

+1

he was never given structure in DEN and was allowed to go out there and just do what ever he wanted.

at "volume scorer"

This is what i've always thought.
When he was traded to NY last year and people were saying he was a top 5 player I was like 

.  What kind of drugs were those people on?

 

[ballinsam23]

he's in the worst slump of his career, cant wait till he gets out of it though smh.

The Melo we all once knew is top 10 easy, right now he's top 20 AT BEST. I'll wait to see how he does in the playoffs before I agree with most of these replies.

Comparing him to Rashard Lewis though?!?!?

 

[danegill]

He's just not there.

Top 10 what though? Scorer? Cause dude was NEVER anything more than that. There has never been less then 10 people in the league who weren't better players than Melo. 

 

[uhavenosole]

Never was imo dominate the ball way too much

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

He is still capable of being in the Top 10 players discussion.

He's obviously struggling right now, because he's hurt.

This will be a bumped thread in a month or so with a "

Watch.
