    Considering Melo, CP3, and Harden opened unofficial training camp yesterday I would actually say we are behind schedule.

    We are waiting for Mills/Dolan to sign off, not Melo.

    The Rockets starting 5 and EG are all in the top 100.

    Are we going to ignore the fact that EGo was ranked #62?

    If zaza is not in top 100 we'd have more than GSW and the rest

    Living by reputation, only got in as substitute. He was the 2nd best player on a 31 win team. Mediocre efficiency, high volume, no defense. 139th or something in Real Plus Minus.

    Melo's rank is correct. Lonzos rank way too high.

    62 is probably about right for a 6th man of the year type player. I do agree with Morey though, this list for the most part looks ****.

    Probably trying to make up for last year's blunder**** of the team not even expected to make playoffs, much less 3rd best regular season record.

    But last year Anderson and Ariza ranked even higher. Other guys were in top 100 too

    Silver went off of the coaches votes, so it had nothing to do with reputation.

    He was the best player on the Knicks, you dont watch them so how would you know.

    Real Plus Minus? WTF is that

    No defense? here we go with the repeat the things I hear on ESPN crap

    High volume? He shoots the same/less shots as most #1 options

    Efficiency is subjective, a bad 2 week stretch can damage your efficiency.

    Just shut up, you obviously hate Melo and you're showing it but remember what he does has no impact on your life so stop being so hurt over another man and move on.

    Wow, every single one of your counter-arguments are word salad. None of it makes any sense. My favorite is "WTF is that" argument. Solid comeback.

    "Real Plus Minus? WTF is that" ... "Efficiency is subjective" ... "put the damn calculators down."

    And best of all: "what he does has no impact on your life so stop being so hurt over another man" ... at the end of an emotional defense of one "another man" from different "another man."

    This is just terrific parody of an idiot NY fan. Well done. Performance art at its finest...

    I agree. I think Melo's ranking is fair (he is somewhere between 20-100), but it is a joke that Ball is one spot higher than him and one spot lower than freaking ERIC GORDON. What the F?

    It's even funnier they reference his summer league stats, what would Melo average if he played in SL? This is insane.
