You can't really think that... Like, I hope you're just exaggerating... or like talking about his potential.

I rate rookies 68 and below. They can still be effective and produce for their team with the right individual stats.

But with my personal roster 90% of the league has 50 potential and most role/bench guys are rated under 65. It makes for a better association when 3 years in every team doesnt have 5 90+ players.

Taking a shot at it, with letter grade potentials:

73 B+ 1. Cavs: Anthony Bennett SF/PF - UNLV
74 B 2. Magic: Victor Oladipo SG - Indiana
70 A 3. Wizards: Otto Porter SF - Georgetown
72 C+ 4. Bobcats: Cody Zeller C - Indiana
68 B- 5. Suns: Alex Len C - Maryland
66 B+ 6. Sixers: Nerlens Noel PF/C - Kentucky
72 A 7. Kings: Ben McLemore SG - Kansas
65 B 8. Pistons: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope SG - Georgia
73 B- 9. Jazz: Trey Burke PG - Michigan
72 C+ 10. Blazers: CJ McCollum PG/SG - Lehigh
74 B+ 11. Sixers: Michael Carter-Williams PG - Syracuse
60 A- 12. Thunder: Steven Adams C - Pittsburgh
72 D+ 13. Celtics: Kelly Olynyk C - Gonzaga
70 A 14. Wolves: Shabazz Mohammed SG/SF - UCLA
64 B+ 15. Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo SF - Greece
62 B 16. Hawks: Lucas Noguiera PF/C - Germany
61 B 17. Hawks: Dennis Schroeder PG - Germany
65 B- 18. Mavericks: Shane Larkin- PG- Miami
63 C 19. Cavs: Sergey Karasev SG/SF - Russia
67 C+ 20. Bulls: Tony Snell SG/SF- New Mexico

I think these are pretty solid picks based on my own interpretation of good Association ratings where:
Under 60=D-League/Reserve Roster
60-69=NBA Bench Warmer
70-79=Role Player/6th Man
80-89=NBA Starter/Top 6th Man
90-94=All-Star
95-98=Perenial All-Star/Hall of Famer
99= One of the All-Time Greats

Obviously, 2K will rate these guys slightly higher than me, but my picks are good guidelines in terms of Association mode realism.

So he's better than:

Dwight Howard
Tyson Chandler
Kevin Garnett
Anthony Davis
Derrick Favors
Josh Smith
Marc Gasol
DeAndre Jordan
Joakim Noah
Andrew Bogut
Serge Ibaka
Kendrick Perkins
Tim Duncan
Omer Asik
Andre Drummond
Roy Hibbert
Al Horford
Andrew Bynum

And those are just big men... I could easily put some of the shot blockers on here too, like Larry Sanders and Javale McGee.

Looks pretty accurate. I would make a few small adjustments though:

Otto Porter should have a B+ potential.
Adams should be slightly higher, around 62.
Olynyk should be closer to a 66.
Noguiera should be about a 59.

Ben Mclemore will be the best rookie in the game. As we all know athleticism and three point shooting are both killers in 2k and he has both. Also even as a fan of Noel and a die hard sixers fan there is NO WAY Noel will be a top five defender.
