Kawhi or healthy Melo?

[Jameerthefear]

IMO Kawhi

[Prometheus]

Selling tickets? Melo

Winning basketball games? Kawhi

Not close either. In either case.

[imdaman99]

Kawhi and it ain't even close. But does he have the mentality to be the franchise player?

[Cold soul]

Kawhi, easily over Melo. Kawhi has much higher impact on most aspects especially defensively he is worlds better than Melo ever was.

[inclinerator]

healthy melo easily

[Akrazotile]

Sugar K > Marshmelo

Not sure if kawhi defensive impact overcomes Melos offensive advantage.

[MJistheGOAT]

Melo is getting underrated a lot, I think advantage of Melo in O vs Kawhi in D is pretty much a wash.

Remember Kawhi is shining in the **cking Spurs-Pop system

And Melo is in the New York Fails.

[Heavincent]

Kawhi and it's not even close.

[r0drig0lac]

if kawhi had the green light could fall 25 ppg and still be the best perimeter defender in the world, the guy did not play well defensively today and had 4 steals .. this is surreal

[Akrazotile]

Not sure if kawhi defensive impact overcomes Melos offensive advantage.

Advantage?

You mean Melo's ability to selfishly chuck himself to a high ppg total?

Melo's offensive skillset means nothing bc hes too low IQ to use it meaningfully.

In practice he offers no "advantage" over a solid offensive player who plays within himself and as a part of a team.

[ABfor3]

If I wanted to win championships, I'll take Kawhi
If I wanted to win the lottery, I'll take Carmelo

[AkronAngel]

Kawhi.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Melo is probably more talented but He is a cancerous player. Give me Kawhi.

[Heavincent]

Melo is probably more talented

Is he? Kawhi seems like a more intimidating athlete to me. Faster, quicker, longer wingspan, etc.
