having draymond green hover around the same rating as KP or DHoward is pretty absurd. The guy at this point does almost everything better than both of those two. KP shoots a bit better, Howard gets a bit more rebounds, but Green is probably the best defensive player in the league factoring that he can lock down just about any position (more versatile than Kawi) with the best help defense. He also has great vision, good ball handling, is one of the best screen setters in the game, and can score both inside and out. disrespectful. But you know, highlights equal ratings in these games.

Did they put Okaro White(MIA) in?

Nope, but he's at the end of his 2nd 10-day contract which ends after the Heat's next game. Heat are looking to trade or waive Derrick Williams so Okaro can be signed for the rest of the season. Then 2k will likely add him to the roster.

Idk, I like draymond but he's gotten a great cushion being surrounded by great players on both sides of the ball, so to me that's a pretty appropriate rating considering what goes into the difference between (+\-) 1 point. For what Dwight and Kristaps do better than draymond it's not as close as you make it out to be, Dwight a way better rebounder inside defender, Kristaps is a better shot blocker and shooter. That doesn't take away from draymond but he's more a jack of all trades master none.

Howard is in no way shape or form a better interior defender. Defense is as much about positioning, anticipation, helping the scheme of your team and filtering players to areas. All of these qualities are actually more important than blocking shots as an actual blocked shot only effects about 3 possessions by even the best in the game. He is far superior of an interior defender. And what exactly does KP do so much better. I mean he has flashes and promises to be a dominant scorer in the future, but currently is very inconsistent and his percentages don't even play out to be superior. Now factor in play making, screen setting and intangibles he is a whole other level than those players. He has for sure benefited from the talent around him but that has only contributed to the player he has become. But that is the player he is.

Take off your homer glasses. Draymond Green isn't close to the rebounder or finisher that Dwight Howard is.

His 44-31-67 shooting line likewise doesn't compare to Porzingis 45-38-79 (though Porzingis is probably among the more overrated stars in 2K17)

White is the 16th man on the roster (due to injury exception) and historically 2K won't add those players to teams.

Next year this shouldn't be an issue because the NBA is expanding rosters in the new CBA.
