2nd or 3rd best player on the planet.
good enough for 30+ points 8+ boards 3,5+assists and 1,5stls every single game...even improved his D a lot.
rated like normal good players as gerald wallace (88) or Iguadala (89) or Pierce (90)...he is much, much better then them...and definitly not any weaker then Wade (94) or Kobe (99).
Melo deserves a 94-96 rating.

I would not put him above Wade either but I would make him 1-2 points below.
I'd say a 92-93.

I would give him a boost to 94. He's good, not 96 good though.

If Melo get's a boost i think Durant also must get a boost....Durant is better than Melo now i think....

I personally think that Durant and Carmelo are on basically the exact same level. Durantr is younger and I expect him to increase above Anthony next season.
The only players in the NBA I think should be rated above Anthony and Durant are Lebron, Kobe, Wade and Dwight Howard.

IMO, i think melo lets himself down in the defensive department... kobe, lebron, wade are all great defenders as well as scorers... melo hasnt quite reached that level yet.... JB

Durant had a nice year...but he hasnt the supporting cast of Billups, nene, Smith, martin,... Melo is in his peak and he is already a very good defender...he did a great job on Kobe last year too...Melo is at least as good as Wade, but actually better...and Wade is a 94... (by the way Durant isnt a bad defender too, but thats another story )

JB Chase down blocks dont make you a great defender I would agree with a boost for both Melo and Durant. Finally!! Always thought chase down blocks are simply displays of atheleticism at the very most.

I think from 93 sounds better than 94-96.... dont forget Melo has been to USA-topscorer on the nationalteam...BEFORE Lebron, Wade, Kobe,... Melo isnt any point weaker than Wade... imo the 6 best players are: Lebron: 99 Kobe: 96/97 (already a step slower he used to be...and the FG% is down) Melo: 94/95 Wade: 93/94 Durant: 92 (the upside is huge...will get better every year...) Howard: 91 (a beast, but has to improve the offense)
then...Dirk, Duncan, Paul and so on... ranked too high: Pierce 90 ... more a 86... his prime is past him...Rondo rulez now Amare 90 ... 85-87 ... what would he do without steve nash?

If Durant's rating will be 92, I think Melo's rating must be 94-95, you're right

no way, i think they need to both be 92... melo has reached his peak there, durant is still developing. Wade is definitely better than melo.. a championship ring settles that ! Melo hasnt even got close on a better team... JB

The point i was trying to make, is that he chokes when it counts. If you want to compare superstars you need to look at the facts. And the fact is melo isn't great when the pressures on... JB
