Kris Humphries should drop to a flat 70, DJ Augustine to a 65-67, Carmelo Anthony to a 92 now that he 100% deserves it, Tyson Chandler to 80, Jason Kidd down to 77 only because of low stat production. Monta Ellis to 82-83 and especially lower his on ball defense and raise his steal instead. Jeff Teague up to 77 and Devin Harris down to 72. Raise Metta world Peace to a 74-75 and Antwan Jamison to 70-72. And also whatever the other comments on this post say.

Thinking only in terms of OVERALL rating like this is just simplistic, silly, and most importantly INACCURATE.

This whole "Melo is a 92"..."Korver should be higher" stuff is pointless if you are only going to judge by OVERALL rating.

Players like Korver and Bellinelli are going to have lower OVERALL ratings because they are one-dimensional players. Same goes for Melo....even though some people, mainly Knicks fans want to argue that he is suddenly a GREAT defensive player - he's not.

You can't argue that LeBron is a 98...so Melo "deserves" to be a 94 or a 92...it doesn't work that way.

You have to rate each individual skill/trait and the OVERALL rating is the sum of those parts.

One-dimensional offensive players are going to have lower overall ratings....the same goes for one-dimensional defensive minded players...Tony Allen, Thabo, etc...

This even applies to STARS....guys like LeBron who make All-NBA 1st Team and make All-Defense 1st Team are simply going to have higher OVERALL ratings then guys like Melo who DON'T.

Same goes for Steph Curry...and on the opposite side of things Joakim Noah.

It's why Jrue Holiday has a higher OVERALL rating than both of them...and others who average more points per game than him....which is the first stat everyone brings up when they try to argue about a player's OVERALL rating being too high...or too low.

This obsession with overall ratings is why Harden and Melo have inaccurate, juiced up defensive ratings.

Because people run and complain...and say..."How can Harden only be an 83!?!?! He's 5th in the NBA in scoring!!!!"

Unfortunately, 2K buys into this overly simplistic, almost childish way of looking at things...and bumps up these players because people, who clearly do NOT understand ratings based on more than just POINTS PER GAME, demand it.

I said this when they gave Bledsoe the HUGE boost earlier. And people told me how WRONG I was.

I agree he needed a boost, but what they gave him was extreme...especially for a guy playing as few minutes as Bledsoe does.

It's just an example of 2K's inconsistency when it comes to this stuff.

In defense of the Bledsoe boost people pointed to his metric stats like PER...

That's fine and I understand that, but if that's the case....then where is Tiago Splitter's boost? And why was Brook Lopez just dropped? And why is George Hill so low?

I honestly wonder what George Hill's rating would look like if he played for the CLIPPERS??
