James Harden or Carmelo Anthony: Who Would You Rather Have?

[jaydacris]

i have both on my fantasy team

So when somebody says that Melo is better you can't compare them because they play different positions... but when you say Harden is better YOU can compare players at different positions? Dipshit.


It's Melo and there is no discussion. Melo is the better shooter, defender and leader. Melo has played at a higher level than Harden is right now for an extended period of time. Harden has only been doing it for under 40 games.

Melo has never been a strong leader

Harden is a better Facilitator

i would rather have the player that makes his teammates better

Melo is just a pure scorer who can't even touch LeBron in anything. His passing doesn't even sniff Durant. Melo is severely overrated imo.

If your only marketable skill is scoring as a SF, you shouldn't be be shooting the same percentage as a shooting guard with piss poor shot selection like Kobe

Among the top 5 scorers in the league:

Kobe 30.1 on 0.585 TS
Melo 29 on 0.587 TS
Durant 28.1 on 0.651 TS
Harden 26.5 on 0.606 TS
LeBron 26.4 on 0.609 TS

He is lagging behind other superstar SF and is shooting as well as a SG. He is a worse passer and leader than any of the other 4.

Melo if i want to win now. Harden if im starting a new team and looking to contend in the next 3-4 years.
