    His shooting % isn't going to stay at that elite level all season. He has to continue to generate points at the FT line. He's on a hot shooting streak now, but his offensive game has grown a lot since last year (more step-backs, isos, off the ball...).

    And yes, he is ALREADY better than Carmelo. That's not even a debate anymore.

    And in regards to Hibbert, that Miami series really overrated him. He's an all-world defender, but he's not that good of an offensive player.

    I really wish Harden had this guy's defensive mindset. I think the battle for best SG will be between these 2 over the next few years. It will be interesting to see if Harden's offense is enough to be considered the best. Great for Indiana, many called them overrated, but I see them going very far this year.

    He's beasting, don't think he's gonna shoot 47% from 3 all season but he's definitely improved.

    Melo is one is most overrated players in the league. He's nothing more than a chucker that doesn't play much defense.

    PG > Melo.

    George has a lot of potential, I think he showed a glimpse last year. Not sure if he will put up the same numbers once Granger comes back.

    he's a SF, 6"9. in fact he could be an undersized PF, not a SG in any way

    he's improved but he hasn't played good teams. Bulls will be a good test

    He's a swingman. He played alongside Granger as the 2 guard and Granger being SF.

    Granger isn't coming back. Lance stephenson took all his mins because he's way better.

    Paul George is top 5 overall. LeBron, Durant, cp3, harden, Paul george

    Paul is beasting.

    Yes, so far Hibbert has struggled on offense, but 5.3 blocks per game kinda shows he's doing his main job, patrolling the paint.

    He (Roy) is taking very few shots so far. Why is that?

    Over 5 block per game and 9 rebounds with Paul George avg 9 rebounds. Hibbert is who he is and it doesn't include offense. He is fine, Karl Malone didn't have any issues and he wasn't much of a athlete (Shaq like).

    I am rooting for the Pacers to come out of the East. Hope we'll meet them in the finals. :)
