They must of seen my complaining about the Orlando Magic. It's too late now lol. Franz struggled in the last 2 games.

I still don't understand why Cole Anthony and Franz Wagner dropped in the first place and then they get boost back. Still reading thru it. But man the logic here doesn't make sense.

Big movers are

Coby White- He's been playing out of his mind since LaVine went down.

Vince Williams- I'm not crazy about this.
Most famous for this..... Lol

This is something I wish they didn't do. I know there are bad teams. But man Detroit isn't that bad. Lower their best player down to 83 just send terrible in my opinion. NBA teams aren't that bad. G League yes. Cade Cunningham isn't a G Leagues. I also understand they are in a listing streak. But again they aren't G League team.

BIG MOVERS (8)
83 (+3) Keegan Murray
81 (+4) Coby White
80 (+3) Jamie Jaquez

73 (+4) Vince Williams
73 (+3) Sam Merrill
73 (+3) Orlando Robinson
72 (+5) Duop Reath

HONORABLE MENTION
94 (+2) Tyrese Haliburton (+2 in each update / +6 on season)

BADGE CHANGES (1)
5 (+4) Coby White

Coby White
SILVER: Spot Finder (ADD)
BRONZE: Catch & Shoot (ADD), Green Machine (ADD), Guard Up (ADD)
TOTAL: 5 BADGES (+4)

Only pre-existing badge was Giant Slayer. He had no shooting badges.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It should not be lost on anyone that 2K stopped updating badges as soon as I took a second job and backed away from posting free analysis.

Which does not mean I'm the world's greatest roster editor or anything - simply that 2K is gonna do jack **** without external pressure & scrutiny.

It was already explained last update.

Half the updates are standard 3pt fluctuation. That's why I don't focus on the +/- 1-2 OVRs.

He's the starting SF and obviously shouldn't be 69 OVR if that's the case.

Happy Scoot got a boost.

I watch way too many games .. that said I’m not a kings fan … but fox still at 89 is the most disrespectful rating I’ve seen in years .. years .. the man is on a mission and is playing at another level . Even sabonis a 86 is low but I get it. Fox is a top notch defender now , shooting 3’s and averaging 30 ! A joke

the most disrepectful rating was a few years back when George Hill was the Starter for the conference Finals Pacers teams. He was one of the best 3 and D Point Guards in the League, the starter for a team that had the best record in the NBA and a historically good defense, and he was rated 74.
