These are solid

Melo seems to be a bit overrated, as I'd have him around 85-86, but still a good list.

I'd close the gap between Kawhi, PG, Hayward, and Gay, though. Can't be too picky.

These ratings seem about right to me.

Meh can't complain

# 6 Blackhail92 @ 09/19/15 02:21 PM

Ratings are on point. Really liking the tier separation

# 7 Hustle Westbrook @ 09/19/15 02:27 PM

Perfect

Melo may be a point too high but no biggie. Clearly, he got the benefit of doubt on his injury where Durant did not. That's my problem. So did Wesley Matthews, coming off of a serious achilles injury.

# 9 Cuban_Linx @ 09/19/15 02:29 PM

Nice ratings. I expect KD to get bumped to around 93 if het gets back to his level tho.

# 10 Number999 @ 09/19/15 02:31 PM

Woah at Kawhi being rated that high...

But I suppose his well-rounded defensive stats are gonna give him that edge overall wise.

# 11 shockwave8428 @ 09/19/15 02:33 PM

I think Gordon Hayward is a bit too high. He's a quality player, no doubt, but I would argue that he should be down there in the high seventies. Chandler Parsons should be higher too. But that's just my opinion

# 12 HowDareI @ 09/19/15 02:33 PM

I hope the reason Antetekoumpo is so high is for his defense and athleticism...honestly I'm one of the non-believers when it comes to the gigantic hype people keep tagging on him.

I've been a believer in Giannis since before the 12 draft, I was watching videos and reading reports on him like 6 months before the draft, I'm a bucks fan, have his jersey, and I still think that's a point or two too high, I think he's gonna be amazing, but he has a lot of holes still at this point

# 14 bigballa21 @ 09/19/15 02:40 PM

Giannis over someone like Tobias Harris? yeah......no

Tobias is an average at best defender, and a subpar athlete. He's good at offense and rebounding, the latter probably factors less into a small forwards rating

# 16 Yeah...THAT Guy @ 09/19/15 02:45 PM

I don't really have an issue with Giannis' rating. I think he's better now than people give him credit for but will probably not be as good as people hype him up to be in the future.

Deng and Pierce over Iguodala? How is he not top 10?

# 18 Steve_OS @ 09/19/15 02:54 PM

Updating the OP as Beds tweets more ratings.

# 19 freekbird @ 09/19/15 03:18 PM

Interested to see exactly how bad they make MKG offensively to drag his overall down to 77...hes certainly not a dynamo but he played quite efficiently last year since he fixed his shot. In no world do I take Tobias Harris over him, I know that.

Seems like out of the box they are overrating Big Al and Kemba and underrating most everyone else on the Hornets roster...but again, its just overalls, we shall see soon

He averaged almost 20 points last season while shooting 45% and 35% from 3. He's one of the most well-rounded players in the league and does everything really pretty well. He also had a PER of 20.2.

Just curious, where would you put Rudy Gay, Andrew Wiggins, Giannis Antetokounmpo, or DeMarre Carroll if you're going to drop him?
