Touche on the TS% point.  Aldridge took a step back this year in that regard because he seemed to be far more reliant on his mid-range game this year than finishing inside like he's done in the past.  But yeah, 23 and 11 in a significantly tougher conference on a significantly better team will beat out 27 and 8 every time unless Aldridge shot like 40% from the field or something.

And in PG's case, it's 21 and 7 with elite defense and a #1 seed vs. 27 and 8 with average at best defense on a team that couldn't even go .500 in the East.

The only way Melo really should have made it this year is if they had considered Paul George a SG, which would have freed up another spot among the forwards, but I think all of the forwards that made it this year were more deserving than Melo.  That's not a slight against him.  He had a tremendous year, and was easily one of the top 15 players in the league this year.  There was just too much competition at the SF and PF positions this year.
