If Duncan was listed at his true position of Center, he'd be at the top of this list.

You buggin, hard! Lol. Can't mention Boogie and Shaq in the same breath! Nope. I need a full 60- second timeout on that one!

I cant really get too mad at this list... Whiteside should be in the top 3-5 by mid-season...

Turns the ball over a ton commits a bunch of illegal screens, bad fouls some of this is he is getting targeted by refs but still.

While I agree that Cousins may not have the best shot selection in the world, but there is something to be said when you are playing in lineups with Rudy Gay, Jason Thompson, Ben McLemore and Darren Collison.

They have awful floor spacing which forces Boogie to rely more on his jumper than he normally would.

Valanciunas does have a better net rating....

More to being a athlete than speed and hops although those help. How bout strength and quickness, which he is loaded with. Shaq was a great athlete but ya never heard anyone raving about his speed and vertical.

# 49 Cowboy008 @ 09/21/15 06:33 PM

I like the new player ratings scale. Really liking that there's not a lot of 90+ rated players.

Cousins isn't athletic at all. he can barely jump 10 inches. he has loads of skills and power but zero athleticism. Dwight, Jordan, Whiteside, Drummond are the atletic guys. I think we just have another definition of the word athleticism. whatever

His no step vertical was 23 while his max vertical was 27.5. Not the greatest leaper but lets not act like he spends all his time on the couch playing 2k. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...-Cousins-1318/

Having Rondo in the game only makes this issue more prevalent...

True but I don't much stock in that because that's more of a team rating than an individuals... It just refers to the team's performance while that player is on the floor, which I don't find to be useful a lot of the time especially given the consistent line-up issues with Miami.

The biggest issues last year for Miami were team chemistry and injuries, those are not Hassan's fault.

Yes, the Clippers Were Much Better With him on the court on both offense and defense.

Yeah this list is a joke... Gobert is easily top 10 center. He's actually probably already #1 defensively.

Lol @ Jefferson or Whiteside being better than him... Even Drummond or Lopez actually.

Vucevic is highly overrated too, he can't defend...

# 56 CookNBA03 @ 09/21/15 08:39 PM

Yeah....

Gobert isn't better than Whiteside and the numbers show that as well.

# 57 juicey79 @ 09/21/15 08:43 PM

are there any images of classic players on the net?

Yes he is in any advanced stat, or defense. But I see you're a Heat fan so I can see why you prefer Whiteside.

Deandre Jordan is way overrated too, all he can do is dunking and rebounding.

Pretty bad list overall.

As someone with no care for either of them....

Per 36:
Whiteside
17.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, 3.9 blocks .9 steals

Gobert
11.4 points 12.9 rebounds 3.2 blocks 1.1 steals

Gobert is the superior overall defender though but taking everything into context whiteside would get the nod based off of their both limited time in feature roles.

Overall the list is really good, actually surprising Cousins is an 87 which I actually agree he should be. Just assumed 2k would fall into the box-score trap not taking into account usage rate.
