I've been going back and forth on this one, but I think bigs who can do everything are more valuable than SG/SFs and Bosh also has the better attitude. I love both players but slightly prefer Bosh. 'Melo is one the strongest SFs in the game. Lebron might be the only player in the league who's quicker and stronger.
Bosh. I felt the same during their rookie year. Never liked Melo

I'm sure he's talking about his skills with the ball at 6-10 more than his physique.

thank you... how many 6'10" guys w/his combination of post up skills, lateral quickness, perimeter shooting, athleticism, shotblocking & rebounding do you see in the NBA? KG? who else? does Amare have the same type of perimeter shooting ability that Bosh does? does Dirk have the same post up skills as Bosh does? he's not as good a shooter as Dirk or as dominant a post up player as Amare, but he's got a nice balance of everything in his game... the closest comparison i can think of is KG (obviously not on his level yet, but who knows in time he might be)... Pau Gasol's pretty similar too, but i think Bosh has bigger upside.

Bosh. And to think the Knicks could have gotten him too. Toronto really wanted to give up that pick. Layden just didn't have the balls on that one. Funny, one GM has to big of balls and the other one had too small. Frank Layden liked Lampe and Sweetney better than Bosh, go figure.
Bosh on size alone...until Anthony proves other wise he is a young Cedric Ceballos to me. Just more of a scorer than anything else.
Not to say Anthony won't be better than Bosh later (he has the tools, size, and skills to be a great player) but until Anthony rebounds, defends and carries a team I take Bosh.
I voted for Bosh, BUT I would like to point out that Bosh defense is almost as bad as Gasol's, and he does not seem to be a great rebounder as well.
That's the only thing I would like him to improve a lot.

Yeah Bosh's D is real suspect. He is a block shot type of guy and that's it. His man to man is horrible. I think he needs to add alot more muscle to really improve his game.
'Melo gets so much more hype than Bosh I actually forgot that Bosh is the all-star and 'Melo is not.
