They have one of the best overall average starting lineup I think . Like not one player is way below or above anyone else .

I love Faried but I only see him with Hustle Points and Scrapper. For as amazingly athletic as he is I don't see Faried pulling out crazy dunks or dunking on people. At least not yet - maybe later in his career as he definitely has the athleticism. Most of his dunks come in transition or off of oops on the crazy fast pace the Nuggets play at. He is great at pulling down alley-oops but that signature skill looks to only be for passers.

faried ain't a flashy dunker , nor a posterizer , or acrobat. atleast for now he isn't.

I guess most of that is fair. He's had some great dunks though.

Anyone know if there is a sig for rebounding?

Wow, Nash is one of my favorite players of all-time, but I was really surprised to see an 87. That's a big jump this late in his career. However, the more I think about it, it really just means he's been underrated for a while. As someone else said, he really is one of the most efficient scorers of all-time. His percentages are off the charts. And if CP3 is going to have a huge rating (due partly to his great shooting percentages even though he doesn't score that many points), then Nash needed to have sky high offensive ratings.

So long as his defense still suffers, then it's all good. I just hope Howard isn't through the roof (92 seems about right to me), or the Lakers will be unreal.

Granger seems slightly high at 84, but it seems to match with Amare's 84 (two guys I would give the same rating to, even though I think that rating should be 82 or 83), so maybe the formula has slightly changed. Faried at 76 seems about right.

Figured 2K would throw him some random signature skill. Still stumped how Jeremy Lin got it.

I didn't agree with him being a Pick Pocket, but I figured 2K would throw him something random. Which I hope they don't. Hence why I said "Dimer is a given, but something random like Pick Pocket is debatable."

Appreciate the anger, though. My posts really get into your heart to explain your dedication toward the Wizards that nobody asked about...or care about.
