Draymond Green vs The World...Day 3: Carmelo Kyam Anthony

[bigrodthe1]

You can tell these dudes never played basketball

just for the fact I HAVE played organized ball...I know Draymond's skill set right now is better than Melo's

You're right, I know when I played ball all through high school, I would make sure to pick up the scorers first because I knew we coule win with them. Ain't no dude gonna win me a game playing defense and can't do shyt on the offensive side

nikka you talking about pick up ball in ORGANIZED ball a dude CAN help you win playing defense and running the offense. Hell that's the scrappy role I played

 

[PortCityProphet]

These threads are dumb. In a vacuum Draymond isn't better than any of these guys. Hes a hustle/role player. But in the right situation he can be more useful and a better fit for certain teams.
It's basically gonna be the same arguments over and over no matter the player.
But I guess yall used to arguing in circles round here.

 

[DonKnock]

Had to pick Melo cause he understands the Earth is round

You can tell these dudes don't appreciate defense.

All they care about is scoring.....even if it's inefficient.

 

[Bledswole]

Carmelo took the lead.

Draymond loses again

[seemorecizzy]

we should be asking whos better between draymond green and a prime ron artest

both defensive role players

although artest in his earlier years had a lot more responsbilty than draymond
i think i would go with ron

[#SOG_soldier]

are cats in here SERIOUSLY saying that if they switched teams that the knicks would be WORSE with Draymond??
the whole damn team culture would change with Draymond on the Knicks where Melo would probably end up benched in GS for holding the ball too long

I don't think we win 20 Games with Kp6 as the number one option. Kp6 is not physically ready to lead a team. He is way to up and down. Draymond would be ass on the knicks.

 

[#SOG_soldier]

The Knicks are currently ranked 25th on defense; replacing Melo with Draymond would turn them into a top-10 defensive team. That's at least 25 wins off the strength of that alone (especially given the fact that KP would have more energy for offense with Draymond anchoring the D). While Draymond wouldn't be able to replace Melo's scoring output or attract the same DA, he would however be exactly what the Knicks need on offense - a playmaker (again, especially for KP's growth and the general function of Hornacek's offense). There's enough scoring between KP, Rose and Draymond (with the help of the supporting cast) that would go a long way to replacing whatever veil of impact Melo has on offense.

You clearly don't watch the knicks enough. Rose ain't scoring shyt without nikkas commandING doubles. And since rose is a pick and roll player, dray not gonna have the ball to rack up assusts. Dray on the knicks would be like Ben Wallace on the pistons

Melo, imagine Draymond as a 1st option

Imagine Melo being tasked with rebounding, passing and defense
