Regarding all the Melo talk:
- He was overrated at 92. 89-90 seems perfectly reasonable for a great offensive player with less than average defense/block/steal abilities.
- 89 is basically a superstar.
- Iggy is overrated at 87, so he isn't a good comparison. However, Iggy's athletic/defensive abilities IRL are better than Melo's, which is why the gap isn't bigger.
- Yes, the Knicks are off to a great start, but it has as much to do with the unselfishness and depth of the roster, as it does with Melo. Melo's stats are right around what he has done in the past. If anything, JR Smith and Wallace (and maybe Prigioni) should see their overall spike a bit, but not Melo.
- All that said, I do believe Melo's mid range rating should be increased a couple points, but that's it.

I agree with this. his mid range is an 84 already. i also think it could go up a few points but people might accuse me of being too picky o well. considering Bayless midrange is a 90. Blakes is a 80 i believe as well. Another thing is that while OVR ratings dont mean much. When it ranks players it ranks them by overall stats. Therefore according to that. Deron Williams is a better player than Carmelo Anthony. I think that is ridicolous. While deron williams is good(my second fav player) he is not better than melo and had an even worse season then melo did while melo was playing with nagging injuries the whole season and yet D will gets an upgrade. but melo does not. 89 maybe the right rating for melo but like it was said before, this just shows a lot fo other players are Overated. I just took the easier rout of saying Melo is Underated rather than nit picking at every overated player
