Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 3475826, member: 767"] Both in their primes (like say 2013 Melo and 2016 Green) if I was just starting a team from scratch, I would take Melo. If we're adding them to already set rosters and I have a lot of scoring, I could see the argument for Green. As we get further and further away from 2016, it seems obvious that was an outlier shooting year for Green; he shot 38.8% from 3 year that year; in the rest of his career, he is 30.6% from 3. So if you are talking about a versatile defensive player of the year guy who is also a great passer and can make 38% from 3, well, that's an unbelievable player. But when you remove the good shooting from that, he's still a very good player but I would rather have Melo. They are 2 really different players; one guys gets most of his value from scoring, the other, very little. [/QUOTE]
