And at people saying Kawhi is better than Melo but have no problem with Curry being so high when his defense is worse than Melo's

Lol. Curry had the highest RPM in the league. He's not just riding on his team. He's as much a part of their success as they are built around his insane offense.

Curry had a better season than CP3 though they are close. He's a shade better than Harden though I think Curry teams would have a higher ceiling. Same goes for Westbrook who I consider the worst player of all of these (by a shade). He has a bigger impact on offense and slightly better impact on defense than the latter two players. It's arguable that Davis was or will immediately be better than Curry but just as easily argued that Curry had a better season.

Lol, no one was calling GSW stacked the season before and it's practically the same team.

Curry's defense has more positive impact than Melo. He also plays in a position where defense hurts you the least, and he's clearly a much better offensive player.

CP3 is not better than Curry. People should just stop with that.

Best Center in the league and he's only an 87, but I believe he needs to be in the 90's. Put him up there with AD. His and AD's stats are EXTREMELY close. His PER is higher than Carmelo, Griffin, and Aldridge, all of which are rated higher than him. I don't understand why he gets disrespected, it's absolutely mind boggling.

He definitely should be over Melo IMO. At first glance it would seem like he should be over Aldridge and Griffin but then when you look at his advanced stats it's sort of Iffy. DMC's usage rate is insane and he also turns the ball over a ridiculous amount. For example if you look at individual ORTG which is points produced per 100 possessions his is significantly lower than blakes and also lower than Aldridge's. He's not very efficient for a big-man and he also turns the ball over like 3 more times per game than aldridge or griffin.
If griffin/aldridge had a usage rate as high as his, they would prob score more than he is now. He's a much better passer than aldridge though and the best rebounder of the bunch/gets blocks and steals so I would say it's really close. It isn't farfetched that aldridge/griffin are over him, though Melo def shouldn't be over him.

PER doesn't account for defense outside of blocks and steals and AD is a better defender than Cousins. 87 pretty much has him as the best center in the league-- I do think the OVR formula for bigs needs to be adjusted a bit though. I mean Kareem only gets a 93 really?

Melo over him is messed up.

Solid is the key word. People act as if he's great.

Russ gambles because it's their play style. Always has been, just like quick shots with iffy shot selection was their offense. That's coach Brooks, that's what he wanted them to do. He wanted the tempo high, 20 shots a piece from Kd and Westbrook.

Russ is a very capable defender. Curry might be smarter defensively, but Russ can cover his man 1 on 1 just as well. Curry might be a better off ball defender, with higher awareness, but Russ has quicker hands, plays the passing lanes better than any PG in the league, he's more versatile and can guard both guard spots, his athleticism allows him to block shots and he is strong enough to keep guys from posting him up. And a better defensive rebounder.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Curry, I just think overall Westbrook is slightly higher. He gambles, he plays in a sporadic system, not everything is a clear as looking at the +/-.

If you really don't believe Russ can cover his man 1 on 1 just as well as Curry can then we just disagree. Delly sliced up Curry all finals long. He didn't score much, because he isn't a good scorer, but he consistently got wherever he wanted on the court. That isn't the mark of a great defender.

Russ also received 35 all defensive team votes this year (13 first team) to Curry's 14 (2 first team).

Regardless, CP3 is a better defender than either of them.

He's better at literally everything except shooting.

He has the best ball control in the league, he's the best passer in the league, he's a better defender, even defended Durant for crying out loud, a better post up player, he's a better ball handler: no he doesn't have he flashy crossovers but he breaks down a defense and doesn't turn it over when he gets in the lane with 5 people around him, he had his team ranked higher offensively at the end of the year, despite his big man being a dunk only player and his wing threats being extremely average. He's the best all around package of scoring, playmaking, defense that the league has right now at the PG spot.

Idk how you could claim otherwise honestly.

Curry plays with a dpoty candidate (green)
one of the best defensive centers if not the best in the league (bogut)
one of the best two way players in the league (klay)
and also iggy who is a great perimeter defender
is it illogical to think that maybe he is just a good team defender/hidden by the defensive schemes (much like prime nash) than to say he is actually a good individual defender?

This simply isn't true. If you were in the actual NBA forum and not the video game forum you would see many of us calling them the best/deepest team in the league to start the season.
