Top Five Unknown Superstars in NBA 2K12

03:24 PM - October 26, 2011 by RaychelSnr

We recently posted up an article detailing the top five position players in NBA 2K12 . This week we're focusing on the top superstars you might not know about. These are players that might be well known in real life, but are over shadowed in NBA 2K12. That's mainly due to the fact that these players either have another superstar on their team, or they're on an underperforming team. But with all of that said, these players truly need more recognition, and hopefully this article does just that.

Tyreke has been a boss since he was a rookie.

For my money they were the best team in the game in 2K8 before the Pau trade.

Love actually is one of the better 3 pt shooters in the league. If I'm not mistaken, it is in the mid to high 80's, but his outside suffers because he got like a 64 on the midrange.

My unknown stars:

PG Ricky Rubio (Poor shooting, but decent all around for a player rated in the 60's)
SG DeMar DeRozan (Again, he's rated in the 60's overall, poor shooter, but athletic specimen)
SF James Harden (Hidden in Durant's shadow, he's a fun guy to play with, never letting Thabo start again!)
PF Mike Beasley (Got a pretty good rating, but the guy is just deadly on offense)
C Serge Ibaka (The guy is more of a PF, but he is a low star trade value and is good defensively, athletic, and a decent mid-range shooter)

Great list. For those who DON"T say they aren't superstars, you either don't follow the WHOLE nba or your just a damn homer. Respect needs to be given when due.

Really really deep sleepers?

PG Earl Boykins - The guy is a beast in one of my franchises. He is very tough to get a shot off with, but through simulation, the guy is shooting a crazy 55% from the floor. Unbelievable! Considering his career average is 42%.

SG Austin Daye - The guy has a Durant-like body and a Durant-lite skill set. He is a shooter first off and can score at the bucket occasionally.

SF Donte Greene - This guy is also oversized at 6'11, but he is also pretty athletic. Great jumpshot and good offensive player.

PF Marreese Speights - Pretty athletic, but pretty raw. Good potential.

C DeAndre Jordan - After all the playing time the Clippers gave him due to Kaman's life long injuries last year, he still got a low rating and a one star trade value. Good for the value and pretty high potential I believe.

PG - Devin Harris
SG - Stephen Jackson
SF - Rudy Gay
PF - Lamarcus Aldridge
C - Javale McGee

Honorable mention to Nick Young.

# 30 Sports fanantic @ 10/27/11 12:22 AM

i only play with the warriors online and monta is awsome but Reggie Williams is clutch with his 3 pointers.

# 31 rockchisler @ 10/27/11 12:57 AM

PG Rodney Stuckey
SG OJ Mayo
SF Austin Daye
PF Andray Blatche
C Greg Monroe

This team would be one of the Longest squads out there for a great price and Young and Athletic. Pistons..Do it when the Lock out is over.

If you were starting a squad and money was (IS) a issue, Take Nick Young over Captain Jack all day..

Danny Granger just might be the closest thing to Scottie Pippen I've ever seen. I'm glad he's getting some love in this article. I'm trying to get him now for my association

I think Andre Igudola is a lot closer to pippen than granger.
he justs needs a more consistent jumper.

Rudy Gay (and the Grizzlies in general) have been good in these games since 2k8.Still miss Juan Carlos Navarro

.I remember people sending me messages cause they just saw him as the 3rd pg on the team and i would be killing with hm,i getting about 16 ppg with him online.

Anyways the team today is good ,if not a better, 2k team

which is bittersweet being a spurs fan rolling with them after last season.

He was a beast at the Euro of basketball this year with Spain. If I where the Lakers i'd try to get him.

# 38 jewelz1132 @ 10/27/11 04:56 AM

Spencer Hawes and Jrue Holiday for me. Hawes' ratings aren't perfect, but he's money from midrange plus he blocks a lot of layups

This past season, Nick Young probably averaged 40pts against the Heat.

He's lights out from anywhere on the floor.
