Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 127491, member: 569"] As far as compairing Melo to DC or Billy you have to remmeber that you are comparing guys that had 3 and 4 year careers at SU against Melo's one year as a freshman and had he played even a second season at SU he would have had rediculous numbers and much improved shooting percentages. Also you have to consider the differences in college bball then and now. It is easier now to come on the scene as a freshman and be dominant because so many great players leave as underclassman which leaves minutes and roles for new freshman as well as diminished overall competition. There are loads of things that make it hard to compare which is why its fun to discuss and people disagree so much. All I know is that Mello, Billy and DC are the type of guys who would be great players from the get go in any era. [/QUOTE]
