Is Melo still even a Top 5 Small Forward?

[letti cook]

Jimmy Butler is most definitely better but since when was that nikka a SF?

since D.wade got there

 

[who_better_than_me]

On a serious note, i hope a gm can rescue/save Melos career like Paul Pierce got saved. The last ten years of Pierce creer draetically chnaged th outlook of how his career was goin be portrayed/remembered if Ainge didnt save it with KG and Allen.

 

[Malta]

Nope.

Bron
KD
Butler
Kawhi
Giannis
George

Are all clearly better.

 

[beenz]

Lebron...Kawhi..Durant....George....Giannis...Wiggins..Gay..Butler

No.

Dude numbers identical to Tobias Harris except Tobias shoot waaay better

I don't classify butler as a SF cuz that's not his natural position. wiggins gives you NOTHING outside of scoring, so I can't put him up there either. but lowkey harris is been ballin.

Butler is playing SF more effectively this year whether it's his natural position or not.

2008 - LeBron, Pierce, t-mac
2009 - LeBron, Pierce, Durant
2010- LeBron, Pierce, Durant
2011- LeBron, Pierce, Durant
2012 - LeBron, Pierce, Durant
2013 - LeBron, Paul George, Durant

Durant was not better than Melo in 09/10 and Pierce was not better in 2011 and beyond.

And Melo finished 3rd in MVP voting behind KD and LBJ in 2013, led his team to a higher seed, was a starter on the All-Star team, was All-NBA 2nd team and had better stats overall so how was Paul George better?

Durant put up 30/8/3/1/1 in in 2009-10, he was better than Melo

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Is Melo even top 5 on the Knicks?

Paul George was the second best two way player in 2013. The only thing Melo did better than him that year was score the ball.

I don't want to hear shyt about MVP voting. Rose finished higher than Dirk and Bron in 2011. Was he better than them?

 

[I.V.]

My fault I forgot giannis Tobias and Batum

He not even top 10 wow

 

[Big Boss]

[onelastdeath]
