NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Javale McGee – 74, Josh Smith – 87, Kemba Walker - 78

Yeah, Kemba does seem a little high. Especially when Evan Turner was revealed by Ronnie2K to be a 75 overall. Turner may not be an all-star, but he does a lot of things and he does a lot of things better than Kemba. I do expect Kemba to have a better year this year than last, but 75-76 seems more accurate, especially when compared to some of the other ratings we have seen.

McGee and Josh Smith seem fairly accurate given their various strengths and weaknesses.

Ratings, in general, do seem to be slanted a little high. Not for everyone, but there's a list of 5 or 6 that I would knock down a point or two overall, especially when we start comparing them to some of the classic players.

Need ratings lowered:

Melo
Kemba
Iggy
MEllis

Also, probably:

Amare
Granger

Not upset. Just trying to figure out what is going on with some of these ratings.

I need to see Kemba's attributes as soon as possible lol.

McGee and JSmooth seem right on the money,and I know he's a mental midget but McGee could be a little higher imho.

I agree. He's got skills and freakish length and athletic ability. I could see McGee having a breakthrough year.

Meh. I expect his ball security to be pretty high. He barely averaged 1 TO a game. He's a very good ball-handler and I wouldn't be surprised if ball security played a much bigger role now that a skill like "Pick-Pocket" exists.

I dont think Kembas ratining is too bad based on all of his skills. Look at the team hes on, the whole orginization is terrible let alone the players he played with. I think if he was on a better team (not a great team) but better he wouldve had a better year. Numbers dont always tell the whole story.

Wow @ everyone bashing on Kemba's FG%.
Just check out Durant & Jennings FG% when they were rookies. They were averaging around <40% as well, although Durant did start picking things up in the later stage of the season. But nonetheless, their FG% were pretty awful during their rookie season.

Currently, he is rated a bit too high. BUT I know for a fact that when 2k14 drops, his rating would probably be even higher than what it already is; dude is shown flashes of brilliance. Now as a starting PG as well as a much better roster & coaching staff, he should be back on his path playing like his college days.

I agree to an extent.

and I hope none of these guys bashing Kemba are Iverson fans lol. He's theoretically one of the worst shooters ever, if you wanna get technical.
