I'm wondering the same thing. Do we know if the 67 OVR is as a PG? If so, he would jump by at least 4 OVR points as a SG.

I don't want Wade to be overrated. Even a 94, in my opinion, is being generous given his injuries all season. 92-93 seems about right for him.

Bosh should be at least an 88.

Bron should be around a 98, give or take a point.

CP3 definitely deserves that 94 to me also.

Don't insult MKG by putting his name in the same sentence as Rivers. MKG is a much better overall player than little Rivers at this point and his stats would have been tons higher at anywhere other than UK.

As someone else said Rivers is probably rated lower due to being a PG...put him at SG (where the kid belongs honestly, he will FAIL as a PG due to selfishness) and he goes up 3-4 spots I bet.

Amare is blah, I guess that is close enough. Paul is fine. Great player, arguable best PG in the game.

Shot, Amar'e could definitely fall below a 80 if he doesn't bounce back in a big way. He had a terrible season and it looked like his knee(s) concerns were catching up to him. I would be very afraid, if I'm a Knicks fan, to think how Amar'e would play with very little athleticism.

Ratings look good for those three, but I'm really interested in what their signature skills are.

Amare is definitely too high.... CP3, he's okay....maybe 1 point too high.... Now Austin Rivers... How's he rated so low, I know there's a chance he'll be upgraded, but damn...he should at least be a 71....

Amar'e actually began performing better towards the end of the year last year, before his back injury. He still shot a high percentage at the rim, very close to his career numbers. Where he fell off was in the mid-range department -- he shot well below his career averages.

There's no reason to believe that Amare can't regain his midrange touch. When he does, people will have to play up on him again and he'll look a lot more athletic driving past them.

Would have definitely given Austin 70-72.
