well he outplayed carmelo head to head when he was a junior, it wasn't a great margin but he still outplayed him. and no gm anywhere will take carmelo over lebron, lebron can play point at 6'8 240, he is one of those guys that you get one chance to draft every ten years if your are a gm. and if you got lebron, you got sellouts everynight. carmelo may wind up being very good/ lebron may wind up being great= thats what nba scouts see as the reason to take lebron #1.
