Jokic really is better than Melo if we’re talking about value/impact on a basketball team. G.O.A.T. passing big man.
Melo my guy but I’d only take him over a point center capable of being a one man system like Jokic in the last 5 minutes
It's like this. We seen Melo clones in Jabari Parker and Michael Beasley. Getting buckets is cool but if it takes you 12 seconds to stare a guy down and jack up a contested two then how valuable can you be to a team?
Rudy Gay had the same problem. Melo is the best iteration of that style of scoring but it's just an ineffective way to win games.
You can have that or have a guy that can is 7 foot, shoot threes, post up and whip the ball all around with very little wasted possessions.
