Still, all great players.

Dude steal numbers don't equal great on ball defense.. Steal number more reflect quick hands.. The same reason a player like AI always had impressive steal numbers.. You're gonna tell me he was a great defensive player too???

I never said anything negative about CP3, Westbrook, or Rondos defense???....I said Deron was more versatile defensively than CP3.. And CP3 and Deron have almost identical assist stats over their career so giving CP the esge doesnt make sense, especially since he has been dishing off to far better teammates...

and Westbrook should in no way be above either of them.. He shouldn't even be above Rondo.. Do you even know what a PG I supposed to do??? It sure as hell isn't jack up 20+ shots per game and gamble around all over on defense, taking shots early in the shot clock and not getting your team into a flow early in games.. As far as being an overall player yeah Westbrook is a stud, as far as being a PG he still needs a lot of work

The only edge he has over any of them is his athletic ability, which should never automatically give you a higher overall.. Not to mention D Will has been on a horrible team this past year while Westbrook and CP3 have had the luxury of playing on really good playoff teams.

Deron is by far the most versatile player offensively of all the PGs.. He can hit the 3s like CP3, get to the hole as well as Rondo, or Rose.. Nail the pull up as well as Westbrook all while playing under control and smart much like CP3 does.. he passes as well as CP3, while I would have Rondo slightly ahead of them both in that department..

. Don't let one off year hurt Deron's legacy.. Like I said ESPN and NBA.com both had him rated as the top PG in the league, even back when CP3 was making a run at the MVP award, and Steve Nash was still very impressive.. I guess they were wrong too?

He is a great athlete and I honestly feel if he gets the jumper he could be the best UK player in the NBA long term, over Davis, over Wall, over Cousins. I know, strong words but I watched that team play every game last year and MKG drove that team to excellence. When he played well that took that team to a whole another level last year in the NCAA Tourney.

Yep, same here, I watched him play alot of games with Kentucky, and he very well could be a guy for the Bobcats to build a team around. He's a team first guy, this guy could fill it up offensively, but he was fine with sharing the load, and if he isn't scoring he's doing other things to help his team out, He prides himself on defense, and he will grab those boards.

He needs to change his jumpshot's release, it has a hitch in it, and right now it is spotty. But he takes contact on shot's like Lebron, and is extremely athletic. Bobcats fans will fall in love with this guy. 78 is fair, but I don't think it's a stretch to say by 2k15, he'll be in the 90's.

No.

and it's not even debatable. Not only that, but even Duncan is still better than Hibbert.

"even" Duncan lol

Timmy is so underrated right now for some reason

I don�t agree with giving rating to players based on the numbers they get.

For example, before Lin exploded, he was unusable on the game. After linsanity, he gets faster, better dribbling, better pass, better awareness.... attributes that the player, in real life, had already before Linsanity.

Same thing with Lance Stephenson. The guy didn�t play last year and he is completely unusable in 2k12. Even though he is mad quick and has great dribbles... his ratings in those 2 attributes are very low.

Now that Bynum is going to get more shots, will he get better ratings in shooting, rebounding, etc..? It doesn�t make sense to me.

It actually sounds like a good idea.

but then people like you wouldn't have much to complain about anymore.

"OMG why is Joel Anthony a 62 and Eddy Curry a 64 ?!?, he doesn't even start !!!"

with grades they both can be D+.

You do know his rating is currently a 78. So you are going to sit here and say it needs to be one point lower? I don't understand.

Arguing over who is better among these point guards is kind of ridiculous, as they are all top tier, all-star level guards who will all be up around 90-94. However, I do have a couple general points to bring up in regards to Westbrook:

(1) I keep hearing people complaining that he's "not a real point guard" cause he shoots too much or drives too much or doesn't pass enough, as that's not what point guards are supposed to do. Well, "point guard" is just a label to fit players into definable roles. Once they're on the court, it's just basketball. Westbrook transcends his position, as he is on his own planet in terms of explosiveness and athletic ability. He shouldn't be penalized because he plays the position differently, he should be rewarded because he plays it in ways other point guards cannot. Similarly, Power Forwards are not, traditionally, supposed to be jump-shooting scorers and 3pt specialists, yet Dirk became one of the best players ever doing just that. He transcended the position (and really changed it forever).

(2) The whole, "so-and-so was playing on a better team so he had better players that made it easier for him" argument is incredibly short-sighted. One of the main reasons OKC is a great team is BECAUSE Westbrook is on the team. They're not two exclusive things. (Same with CP3 making the Clippers into a playoff team- it's because he's so great.) The fact that Westbrook can put up such big numbers while playing alongside another, more prolific scorer should prove that he is, in fact, even better than his numbers suggest. The same way Bosh's numbers went down when Wade/LeBron get all the shots (and Wade's numbers went down alongside LeBron, etc), should make numbers that Westbrook puts up along side Durant even more impressive.

Again, DWill is great. He should get a 90-91 rating. However, I personally believe that Westbrook has certain skills outside of shooting and passing that are better and will make him just as good (if not slightly better) in terms of overall rating. I could see them both at 91 to be honest. CP3 will (and should) be slightly better rated than both, even though DWill will be a better scorer.

Anyone want to take a guess on what Chris Bosh will be rated?

Well, Griffin is now an 86, Love is an 89. I think Bosh deserves to be between them, but it depends on how much 2k bases on stats. Bosh's stats are hurt by having two dominant players on his team. I think he deserves an 87, but I feel he will get less, maybe an 84 or 85.

Im a troll for stating a fact , but your opinion ( which is completley inaccurate and even a pacers fan will admit it ) makes you not? Must be a sour bobcats fan. Sorry about that. Sorry for being excited to have the best center in the east land on my team that has struggled since iverson left. Ill try to tone it down so that im not trolling. And please , continue to act like every player in the league hasnt gotten hurt.

I was using the "plays with better palyers" argument for assist purposes not points.. Deron hasn't had near the talent to dish the ball to that Westbrook or CP3 have had yet he continues to have very similar assist number to CP3...

And I'm not trying to knock Westbrook for playing the game differently, I like watching him, he's exciting.. But as far as how ratings work on 2K PGs get a bigger bump for things like passing, ball handling, steals, stuff like that.. When finishing above the rim and knocking down pull ups effect ratings then I will see Westbrook getting a higher overall.. With Williams being a better shooter than either of them, and his passing being close to CP3's and higher than Westbrooks, It just seems fit to me that his rating should be just as high if not a point or so higher.. There ball handling I assume will all be similar, all play alright defense

MKG is 78! Ok now that's a good building block.

Putting up NUMBERS and being a High rated player are 2 different things. Bynum will get a TON of touches. Howard will have to Contend with Kobe and Pau for shots and Pau for Rebounds. Bynum had to contend with ? I would LIKE to see when they Release the Ratings, actually release the ALL the Ratings NOT just Overall. Give us an Idea of how the game will be setup.

How would Joe Johnson be a 86 when he ended in the low 80s last year? Did he magically become a better player?

They made Monta Ellis an 86 this year, even after what transpired last season lol.

I was using 2K logic lol.
