Makes perfect sense.

Good point, I agree with you there.. But HE didn't exactly turn them around alone.. They added lots of pieces and some pieces they had improved their game.. But I still agree with what you said

I hate people that only look at stats and don't use common sense

Keep in mind defense weighs heavily on the rating too. Rivers will score just fine in 2k13, but he's going to have trouble guarding anyone next season.

Terrence Ross was tearing him up in their predraft workouts. He better have a higher rating than Rivers!

Who am I kidding though, the Raptors get slaughtered every year by the "2k insider".

Just wanted to quote myself here so Rivers fans could have another look haha

Knicks are my favorite team, and Stat is one of my favorite players, but I have him rated around an 80 overall. His vertical and dunk ratings have gone down, as well as his midrange. However, Stat should have some improved post-moves after working with Hakeem in the offseason.

Clearly not what I am saying.

I am simply saying that calling someone coming into the NBA an ELITE _____ is jumping the gun. Really don't see what is hard to understand.

Definitely true.. You can't be considered anything really until you have proven yourself

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Ronnie 2K tweeted a correction to the Grant Hill rating he had previously shared in a video. It's, in fact, a 77. When you take account of all the little things Hill does above average, 77 seems about right to me.
