NBA 2K16: Throwback Thursday Card Reviews (12/7/15)

Hey guys, it’s Robby from Two Brothers Gaming again here with some more NBA 2K16 My Team Throwback Thursday card reviews! Every week in NBA 2K16’s My Team mode, there are Throwback Thursday cards released with specific players’ highlight seasons. Each week here on Operation Sports, I’ll be highlighting these players and showing you stats, badges, individual attributes, and everything related to each player. If you pull one of these cards, you’ll know what to do with them! Don’t forget to watch the accompanying video review as well.

Let’s get into it:

2014 Lance Stephenson, Indiana Pacers

Stephenson’s best year as a pro came in his final year with the Pacers, when his efficiency was at its peak. Without efficient shooting, Stephenson is at best a ball-dominating sometimes-playmaker. With the Pacers, he’s represented with an 81 overall card. Stephenson averaged a solid 14 points, 7 rebounds, and nearly 5 assists per game on 49% shooting from the field and 35% from three. This is another card hurt by the depth at its position, as well as being a borderline silver. Stephenson is usable but may be overlooked and become a budget option.

2007 Zach Randolph, LA Clippers (traded from New York Knicks)

The 2009 season was a double-double season for Randolph, with an even 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. He was solid from the field and free throw line, and even shot his second-best mark from the three point line at 33%. Randolph is a post player and crafty around the basket, and that’s exactly how he should be used if you pull him in packs or find him on the market. He’s not made for the fast break, nor is he a stretch four, but if you’re looking for a nice low-post presence on offense, he’s your guy.

2008 Richard Jefferson, New Jersey Nets

This is another card highlighting the highest-scoring season of a player’s career. In Jefferson’s case, the 2008 campaign saw him score 22.6 points per contest, with 48%/36% marks from field goals and three pointers, respectively. Jefferson is an athletic high-flyer with an outside shot to keep the defense honest, but he doesn’t rebound or defend at an elite level, which will hurt you in the long run. He’s great in short stretches off the bench. Otherwise, he’s fun for a few posterizations in a blowout game. Beware the defense!

That’s it for this week. If you’d like to see the players in-game, be on the lookout for more videos, and if you have any questions I can be reached on Twitter @twobrosgaming.
