Melo had the best year of his career last year and Paul George wasn't as good as he is now was STILL BETTER THAN MELO.

This year its not even a comparison. George is a much better defender, player maker, team player, not a ball stopper and is better from 3.
you dont get what im saying. If i had to pick between "this"(current) Melo and Paul George, I would take Paul George. But if i had to pick between a Young Melo(22-23) with a Paul George, I'd take Melo. Melo has a lot of bad habits that a great coach should be able to correct.

If they were both 22 or younger I would have taken Melo too. Since George took awhile to develop and no one could have predicted he would've ended up being this good. But knowing what we know now. Its not close at all man. No version of Melo was ever this good as current Paul George.

Melo 23yr old season >>> Paul George season right now. If you do still pick Paul George it's certainly not on some not close shyt.

Sure if all you care about is scoring.

Paul is doing everything else better.

Only thing he was doing better was defense.

Melo was a better rebounder and they had comparable assists numbers 3.6 for George, 3.8 for melo. Melo was more efficient as well, mind you he got to the line 8 times a game as well. Score more points on less shots.

Melo was more dynamic more clutch way better on the offensive end, this is before iso all the time.
Like I said young Melo was no slouch.
