.....I agree 100% with number one. This list is pretty solid to me.

Shouldn't Vertical be part of the equation?

# 3 Find_the_Door @ 01/10/12 01:51 AM

I get a ton of blocks with Batum

What happened to DeAndre Jordan and Darko Milicic? I know DJ's young, and Milicic seems downright useless otherwise, but wow. Look at last season's number and Darko and DJ were both in the top 10 in BPG at 2.03 and 1.78 respectively. ALSO consider that they were the only two players out of the top 16 to average less than 26 MPG. They ranked 3rd and 6th respectively in BLKP48M (blocks per 48 mins). I really don't see how you could not have either of them in the top 12 this year.

JaVale McGee is a glitch. I get blocks where his head is above the square on the backboard.

Depends on the ratings in 2k12 my dude

Yeah its using 2K's ratings completely. See Przybilla, Joel.

# 8 Colts18 @ 01/10/12 11:22 AM

Mcgee having a 77 defensive awareness rating is a joke. He can block shots but his awareness isn't that high. Shouldn't be that high.

Go Deacs is all I got to say

# 10 Airmaxpenny1 @ 01/10/12 12:15 PM

Would've been better if the vertical rating was a factor

# 11 adwin7 @ 01/10/12 03:01 PM

Glad they put Tyrus Thomas in their. That dude will grab your fade away out the air on the game.

I signed Samuel Dalembert & he made a big difference protecting the paint for my team!

Well, then I'd say 1. they shouldn't use real life statistics (i.e. career blocks and real life bpg) to justify their rankings and 2. their player ratings are a tad off.

# 14 JohnDoe8865 @ 01/10/12 08:10 PM

The real life numbers are there to show how accurate or not accurate 2K's ratings are compared to real life numbers. It's the best way to show the real player ability vs 2K's player ability.

I did too, for the pistons. He became a straight beast. He actually somehow led my team with 21 points and 13 rebounds per game plus a good amount of blocks.

# 16 hapa17 @ 01/10/12 10:53 PM

auspiciously absent: greg steimsma. he's a BEAST of a shot blocker, and a fringe rotation player on the real life celtics that isn't in the game!

ok, maybe he isn't deserving to be on this list, but it's a good excuse to complain about the roster update.

# 17 shootah66 @ 01/11/12 01:18 AM

Deandre Jordan needs to be on this list

I was gonna mention Stiemsma! I'm pretty sure he leads the league right now in BLKP48M...and you say he's not even in the game!? Major bummer.

# 19 BroMontana82 @ 01/11/12 07:24 PM

nice list but i agree about vertical having to play a role as that's more directly related to blocking animations and ability.

# 20 kingg d @ 01/11/12 08:36 PM

Roy Hibbert should be on the list as well, basically because he is 7'2
