NBA 2K15 Player Rating - Andre Drummond (Overall 83)

Does James Ennis have such a low rating they forgot to tweet him his rating and picture?

Drummond at 83 is pretty deserving, by the way. He can ball.

You took that too literally or the dude misspoke. First: DJ is HIGHLY valuable to the Clippers. He is THE anchor defensively. He's as important to them defensively as CP3 is offensively. With that said, if DJ was dangled as trade bait, you better damn well believe there would be teams beating down the door to get him. Yeah, he needs to be quite a few points higher than Drummond. It's not his value to a specific team. It value to any team in their role.

Where did you see that? If any center is a 90, I'd make it Joakim Noah. I admit my Bulls bias, but the dude was in the conversation for MVP. This is coming from the guy that raged when he was picked!

That is about the same rating Tyson Chandler was a few years ago. IMO they are the same type of player. Except chandler has much better awareness but Drummond is so much more athletic. Personally, I would have aimed for an 80 rating, but this is fine with me.

It's likely that the formula just weighs rebounding and blocks EVEN MORE than it already did. All centers should be going up, which is fine, as it was the most underrated position by far.

This should've closed the discussion right here . Dwight just might be at least a 90

Not really concerned with the rating, but Dre Drummond is a force! They involved him less in the offense as the season went on and his numbers improved during this time period. The advanced stats shown above tell the story, very impressive at age 20. Now he has SVG as his coach, so he will finally have someone who knows what they are doing guiding him.

He is also has a legit big man's body at 7'0", while being a freak athlete. This is a rare commodity. He will only get better unless injury comes into play, which I hope never does. He has holes in his game, but will only improve.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Based on the info we've been given on the new overall formulas so far, maybe it's possible that one formula heavily favors a rebounding center, or heavily favors a center with high potential so that a guy like Drummond would be valued more than an 80 overall 30+ year old C that might have better attributes right now, but since Drummond would have the higher potential, that might factor into the overall rating and give him a boost over the older player.

Who knows? We'll know more when they release more info on how the overall formula works this year, but I think an 83 for a rebounding or potential favoring formula is pretty good for Drummond.

I was thinking the same thing. But I'm still holding out hope for melo. He already got shafted in all nba teams for having his best year cause Knicks were trash. 2k has to make him a 90 considering everyone else on the team will be below 80
