NBA 2K13 Ratings: Austin Rivers - 67, Amare Stoudemire - 84, Chris Paul - 94

Not bad. I hope Rivers got great handles, and good ability to shoot off the dribble. BUT if the 2k insider did his job he should give Rivers a horrible mid range rating. I think he only made 1 mid range jumpshot during last season...

The real puzzling rookie rating is Barnes. There seems to be too much differential between him, Waiters and Rivers. 73 or 74 overall seems more in line for a player that underachieved and couldn't create his own shot in college.

Who are you...? The 2k insider...?
If its just one point and doesn't matter.... Why even comment on it...? I was just saying his rating was okay, maybe 1 freaking point too high... Geez....

You are fooling my friend...

67 for a player that is a great scorer is not acceptable especially since Dion Waiters was a 71... Seem too low to me...

Haha this isn't true... Where are you getting your stats from??

I just looked at my 2K12 rosters and it's rated somewhat very close to the 2K13 ratings (overall, not individual) Weird occurrence.

When he does, people will have to play up on him again and he'll look a lot more athletic driving past them.

being a great scorer at one level does not automatically translate.
