I think you absolutely can.
As other's mentioned, Carmelo Anthony put up monster numbers, but I think Carmelo shouldn't even sniff the hall of fame, he is an all time empty stat player.
Durant isn't in that territory of overrated, but the people that try to put him as a top 10 player all time are out of their gourd. He's a great shooter, he puts up stats, he's not a leader or team player by any sense, and on any given night you gotta take away 6-12 points off his contribution to account for him just tossing the ball to the wrong team for a free basket. I have truly never seen a "superstar" who is as sloppy with the ball as he is. And his decision to join the Warriors did catastrophic damage to his legacy... especially when they went and won another title after he left.
Having watched both players, IMO, Chris Paul is a significantly better and more impactful player than Kevin Durant... and I don't think the comparison is even close. Chris Paul is probably the best player to not win a ring.
