Gasol is an 81 too. Big guys don't get the love.

Iman Shumpert at 82 is a joke. Good thing they are using a different rating system that will expose him for the scrub he is.

I agree

maybe the inconsistent playoff performances left a bad impression, He did play well in clinchers though iirc.

with the dynamic rosters I guess we shouldn't be too worked up about ratings.

I love how we are all arguing about overalls. The formula for OVR could be anything, but watching people judging how the players are overvalued/undervalued based off OVR is entertaining.

The only reason OVR is there is just for a universal rating that people can use to reference the best without having need to be in depth and actual scout everyone's rating. There's advantages/disadvantages to having an overall. Advantages are you can see the level the game sets them out to be, disadvantages are they aren't in-depth/always completely accurate/effect the game so much even though it shouldn't.

But we [should] know that these factors always boosts OVR:
-Position (SG: Easiest to 99, C: Hardest to 99)
-Offensive/Defensive Awareness
-Speed/Quickness
-Shooting

Anything else really doesn't add much in terms of getting a higher overall, but if you take a stock created SG player, boost both awareness to 99, I recall that get them to mid 70s. Don't quote me on that fact, but the thing is with me is I hate when we judge off overall vs. "Why is Melos Steal at __, when he only has averaged __ steals per game."

LOL! Boy you cray!!

Just remember one thing, defense wins championships and that kid is one of the best up and coming young perimeter defensive players in the whole league you best check yourself.
Granted he will never win a ring with the current Knicks, but he will one day most probably when he goes home to the Bulls.
Mark my words boy!

The only reason his Overall is so high is probably because of his high Defensive Awareness and his athletic ability which will ultimately greatly raise his overall in 2k.

The rating system BTW will work in his favor because JR is out for the Knicks for a while and that will mean more minutes for young Shump Shump in a year where he is expected to breakout.

Besides young Shump is a better player than anybody on the entire Jazz roster lol mad much?

I hope you aren't implying it should be LOWER. Because...it shouldn't.

Nah he is actually a very overrated defender. Check the Synergy stats. He ranks 195 overall and is especially not very good in isolation and spot up situations. Let's not forget he shoots an awful 39% fg range. The only thing he has going for him right now is athleticism because he is not very good at anything else. I know overalls shouldn't matter but a below average player like Iman Shumpert should be no where near 82. Like I said the new rating system is based on stats therefor he will be exposed for the scrub that he is sorry it's just the truth.

Wade is a 92 because his PER (Player Efficiency Rating) is 24.0 and seventh in the league. Better than Westbrook, better than Kobe, better than Parker and better than Harden. Like the previous post said he still puts up 21-5-5.

Lebron is tops (in PER) at 31.6, then Durant (28.3), CP3 (26.4) and Melo (24.8). Of the Big-3 on Miami, Wade has had to make the biggest adjustment. Some of his slippage is due to age, but a huge part is him taken a side seat so that Lebron could lead the team. He is still one of the best in the game and the 92 is warranted.
