He is hard to rate. If I am going honestly on ability, top 5. His issue however was his shot selection. So if I wanted to win games would rank him 14. Carmelo's issues were always how he approached the game. If you listened to interviews of stars at the time and he came up often as the guy they least liked to guard.

Coming into the league Carmelo was way ahead of lebron skill wise, yet now lebron is #1/#2 all time and carmelo is way down in the weeds. It's to bad he didn't get drafted by the pistons, larry brown may have been able to fix his problems.
