ESPN recently released their Top 74 NBA players of all-time list for the league's 74 year history. I was bummed to see no SU players make the list. I thought Melo and/or Bing would have realistically been somewhere in the 65-74 range or so.
I think a very reasonable argument can be made that Melo had a better NBA career than Alex English. Melo had higher career scoring average, rebounding average, All-Star appearances, All-NBA appearances, PER and win shares.
Here's the bottom 10:
65. Pau Gasol
66. Dave Cowens
67. Alex English
68. Pete Maravich
69. Bernard King
70. Tony Parker
71. Bob Lanier
72. Damian Lillard
73. Dikembe Mutombo
74. Artis Gilmore
Curious what others think. Who if anyone would you take off and replace with Melo or Bing, and why?
