I don't get how you say Melo and Durant should be equal. Durant is a more efficient scorer, a better finisher, and a better defender. Durant improved his defense last year, some people just can't tell. He is a better on ball defender than Melo and he blocks more shots than Melo, passes better than Melo, steals better than Melo. Melo has improved his defense too, I will give him credit. Durant is in that exclusive Nash/Bird/Curry 50/40/90 club 50FG%, 41 3FG% 91 FT%. The only rating I can say Melo probably should be better in ratings is in strength, and post offense

Waiting on a Raptors rating

lol @ that Dion Waiters rating.

Glad to finally see George in the high 80's. I'm a heat fan but you gotta give George credit and last year they would not give him the rating he deserved.

Overall I think Harden is better. And I from Curry's hometown.

Cody Zeller a 68 is rather low though. Although, I get it he is a rookie. I expect it to go up by ten by year's end.

76 is fine for Barnes as long as he plays like himself. Currently, he's versatile and good to average at everything with exceptional athleticism. He just needs to get out there and prove himself with consistent play, aggressiveness, and efficiency this season. 76 seems right given how undecided Warriors fans are between him and Thompson. As long as he had his athleticism and something like Posterizer, he'll be quite effective as he can be in the rosters I use.

I'm being facetious. I obviously don't think all of them really have low durability. But all those guys missed more games than Curry, some on reoccurring injuries as well while Curry played 90 games this season and missed the rest on minor ankle tweaks while having a breakout year, so the "Curry has a 20 in durability" take is ridiculous given how much he played.

Paul missed the same about of games or more due to his pre-existing knee issues as well. And Eric Gordan much more so. But it's easier to repeat the Curry is glass meme because they heard it somewhere on the Internet and he had like 8 ankle sprains last season. Don't get me wrong, Curry does have reoccurring ankle issues. The big worry now is not so much how often they will happen or how many games he'll miss as it is the timing of when he gets a tweak and whether it happens in post season.

Love and Kyrie I'm not really kidding about. Those guys are more injury prone than their reputations suggest.

I think Curry and Harden, considering how drastically different they are in their play styles, are really similar in impact.

They're both combo guards who deliver great offense and subpar defense.

I'd probably take Curry right now since as Sundown points out he doesn't rely as much on the officiating to score his points, but Harden has a little bit more potential for improvement.
