NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top Rated Shooting Guards (UPDATED)

[J_Posse]

As crazy as it sounds, I would probably place Ellis, Matthews and Derozan above him. I just think Wade isn't as athletic as he once was, he isn' the defender he used to be and he just isn't durable anymore.

Those three things should push things in the the younger, more durable and athletic players favor. Unless Matthews can't return from his injury close to his pre-injury level then Wade is likely above him.

Yes it does sounds crazy cuz Derozan is awful , Ellis is Ellis and Wes unless he comes back to form after that injury then no .

Never said that Wade wasn't more efficient or not a savvy vet, but he isn't an elite SG anymore (IMO). The position is very, very weak so I could see why some would over look his lack of athleticism and durability. I personally won't though.

The gap between the top 3 (Harden, Thompson & Butler) should be much wider to illustrate the lack of elite or all - star level talent at the position. Of course, all the Wade and Kobe fans would cry on Twitter so instead they are given (what seems to be) artificial attribute boosts.

Jeremy Lamb hasn't improved one bit since joining the NBA, yet he has a solid role player level rating of 73. I don't disagree with many ratings other than Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade. Kobe should be much lower (high 70's, IMO) and Wade should be lower on the top 10 list. from Spurs Nation/Bills Backer HQ

I would hope 2k is using their college and overseas stats and percentages. Instead of just guessing

Not all of those stats, if any other than rebounding, would translate to what they'll do in the NBA.

Harden was robbed of MVP ...Winshares tell it all

Those numbers don't account for his drop in athleticism, efficiency ( losing LeBron effect) and defensive ability. He's still a smart, savvy and intelligent player so that does help him to compensate somewhat. He just can't take over games or dominate any longer like in the past.

A player rated 85+ overall, especially on this supposed "HOF" scale, should be able to dominate and control a game. Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Tony Parker and Derrick Rose are no longer those type of players anymore. And I'm a fan of 3 of those 4 players - one guy playing for my favorite team - so my posts aren't based on "hate" but on the reality of where these guys are at in their respective careers.
