If their careers were the same length, absolutely Melo would be above Ray. But I think the two big parts that make Ray first ballot are his duration as an All-Star (ten out of twelve years) and his title.

I'd say Melo is currently in, and assuming nothing bad happens (knock on wood), he's a HOFer first ballot. I just wouldn't put his résumé above Ray's yet.

He's obviously got a better résumé than Reggie though. That's a given.
