but yeah im with DC on that one too..aint no way those 2 should be borderline 90s.

ratings are way to high to begin with in the first place

Yeah, Aldridge should be an 81-83.. he's not Al Jefferson level... he's definitely a solid guy and might be beastly next season, but he doesn't have enough post game or defensive presence to get that high of a rating.

And yeah, Rudy Gay is nice offensively, but unless the overall doesn't give defense much weight, there's no way he's that high... he's a sieve on defense despite his physical gifts/size. I think he should be right where he was this year...

Aldridge...whhhhattt??

[X*Cell]

how can Aldridge be rated higher than Roy?

I kinda agree with Gay's rating... Chris Paul's is agreeable too, but Hedo's rating is ********. 84 at BEST... I would say 82 or 83 though... not 89!

Hedo is nasty. At least a 86-88.

alright i was lookin at his stats and stuff... I underrated him a bit... but I still wouldn't give him the rating he's about to get... I guess I'd go with 86.

I'm still trying not to hold my breath waiting on for news on the whole Take Two takeover by EA. Who knows if we'll even see another NBA 2K game.

If we've played our last NBA 2K game, we'll all have to thank the same guys who took the NFL 2K games away from us to avoid the competition.

But back to topic, I agree with the article's ratings of the players. I'd say Hedo is a matchup problem for most teams without a tall enough defensive forward.
