Underrated players in 2k13 (For the Insider)

[Biagas]

This thread shouldn't be for stuff like "irving's close range shot should be a 88 instead of a 87!" .. you get what I mean lol

It's for the players that will probably get no attention from the 2k insider, even though they have stepped their overall game up big time for whatever reason (Trades, healthy season, etc.)

Omer Asik - putting up 10/12, best season he's had even when you factor in minutes, pretty underrated on the rockets

Andersen Varejao - Putting up 15 / 15 (points boards) and he's shooting the ball better this year from everywhere on the floor. Rebounding and shooting should be higher

Kevin Martin - now a 3rd option while healthy, shooting about 5 threes a game on 48% from deep, 92% from the freethrow line. Shooting is pretty underrated for Martin on 2k13.

OJ Mayo - Playing great without dirk. Putting up 20 points a game, 52% from 3 on over 5 attempts per game. Shooting is underrated for him.

Varejao has shown the biggest improvement this season.

J.J Hickson (Rebounding, defense, Stamina, Vertical, Offensive/Defensive Awareness)

J.J is averaging 11 ppg and 10 reb on the season. He's also shown he's no slouch defensively but is still just above average in that area.



Will Barton (Pass, Off-hand Dribbling, Mid-range, Layup, Offensive Awareness, On-ball defense)

The Blazers may have found a diamond in the rough (second rounder). Barton's shown a lot of flash, he just needs to work on being more consistent to earn more playing time. Will likely be a Blazer for years to come.



Meyers Leonard (Hands, Rebounding, Stamina, Inside Scoring, Mid-range, Low-post offense/defense, offensive/defensive awareness, Dunk/Dunk tendency, Finish Alley-opp tendency)

Has proven that he can play in this league, he'll obviously need to show that through starter minutes, but at the moment he's clearly better than what you guys give him credit for. On this game currently he gets out rebounded by Ty Lawson (consistently).



LaMarcus Aldridge (Stamina)

Was nearly tops in the NBA in 2010 with 39 Minutes per game, and this year is darn near right there again with 38 Minutes per game. He's playing this much and still playing at a high level (20.7 PPG, 8 RPG, 2.6 APG) 83 stamina isn't cutting it.

Lance Stephenson has improved across the board, but particularly developed from a bad shooter to a rather decent one. .410 from 3 at 2 attempts a game. Not bad at all.

Bledsoe has also been criminally underrated in this game. Not sure what he's rated after the update.

Bledsoe is another player that could use a huge update. Hope the higher ups see this thread

Larry Sanders is a beast on D. His shot blocking #s are crazy. 22blocks in last 3games, had a tripple dub, playing extremely well around basket.

Mike Dunleavy(form sucks) is shooting lights out. Dark horse for 6 man of the yr.

Jonas Valanciunas

[Sundown]

Festus Ezeli for the Warriors. Rebounding better than his projection and playing solid, smart, big man defense. Would probably put up better block numbers too if Jackson would play him more than 15-18 minutes because he's in love with small ball. Also our starting center now.

Draymond Green has also been quite good on defense and with the intangibles. Maybe just needs a defensive boost (if it's not decent already) and Scrapper? Defensive and offensive awareness, maybe.
