Batum is a little more perimeter oriented due to build, but I think he's a decent comp. Don't think anyone really comes come to skills/style due to his build/athleticism combo.

LeBron has a very unique skill set.
In terms of just talent--- not the mindset, not the dedication, not the willingness to fit in with others-- it's probably Melo.
Mind, there are a ton of guys with different skill sets that fit in between those two, in any serious conversation of who the second best player in the league is, but they are the 'most similar' for a point of comparison.
