Durant is a more efficient scorer and player but Melo is a pure scorer and will always be. It seems like as his career progresses his MPG is increasing since he carries the team but once he hits 35, I don't know if he has the ability to play his aggressive style and hes no Dirk as Ace mentioned. edit: Actually more like I doubt he has the ability to play his bully-ball style My point is that Durant is playing at his absolute maximum level and Melo inst. If Melo quit goofing off I bet his Maximum performance would be superior to Durants. Mabye we will never how good melo really can be because of his self sabotaging nature like Rodman. | ||

Melo will look like a beast and Durant will be struggling trying to carry the Knicks every night like Melo does Strongly disagree with this. Durant is a more versatile scorer than Melo is, though there is no questioning that Durant has a better team than Anthony. Also, referring to the previous page debate on who can match Durant's scoring, if anyone can, it's Melo. It really helps that he takes 22 shots per game and averages almost 6 ftm as well. Durant+Melo are the only two players in the entire league that average more than 22 shots per game actually. Again, Durant is the best scorer in the league because he is the most diverse scorer right now. Melo is an extremely one-dimensional player(let me shoot my 10-15 foot jumper or a 3 pointer), but is also particularly efficient at it. | ||

I still think Love could match Durant more than Anthony could if he would stop having those random sub 20 games. Guy puts in so much work every time he plays. 26/13 double-double and 4 assists. Only way Love could get better is if he played more defense. | ||

It's more than that,They're actually kinda the same player as well...both athletic but really stiff and awkward. Same height and weight, their 3 point percentages are pretty similar and to top it off, their stats this season are literally the same  | ||

Durant is a better passer, but his assists don't tell you that, only that he gets to pass to people who aren't Bargs or J.R.. To some extent it's a closed loop. The Knicks (aside from Melo) are just an awful team, which reinforces Melo's bad habits of needing to carry the team. Durant absolutely is the better player, but he also benefits from having Westbrook & Ibaka around to demand defensive attention which makes everything he does easier and more productive. Nah dood Melo shitter Love/Griffin better All joke aside this guy gets it | ||
