My Carmelo point is that he would never have been considered for the number one pick last year, but one year of college has him as a serious possibility. His rookie year places him one year beyond HS, just like LeBron's second year will. And I am arguing that this year's second pick (and non-consideration for last years first pick as an HS senior) will be better in his second post-HS year than a guy that considered going pro last year.
And when we look at each player one year beyond HS, it is definitely relevant if the college experience will have made Carmelo more ready than LeBron. It demonstrates that the college step helps prepare people to make the NBA step.
