NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top Rated Shooting Guards (UPDATED)

[dmankey1]

In game, I'd rather play with Jimmy over Klay but obviously both are excellent SG and deserving of their ratings. After all, the ratings will change shortly and who knows who'll be on top

Uhh.... wrong.

Majority of time spent at SF.

Basketball reference also has him listed as an SF

And then there's the 5 man rotations. Mostly as a forward, http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../lineups/2015/

He did play a lot of SG. Fact is he can play 2 through 4. But he mostly played 3.

Even if you compare them per 36 Jimmy still beats him in a majority of categories outside of ppg and 3pt shooting . Klay gets a .3 advantage passing but like I stated Jimmy is a better ball handler . Another advantage that Klay has is that he is in a much better system than Jimmy , Warriors ball movement tends to get you better shots than going out and getting them for yourself . Also it's not a shock that Klays averaging more ppg because he launches 8 threes per game and is a very good shooter opposed to the 3 Jimmy takes a game .

1. If you go through 82games 5 man lineups, they have Middleton at SG for over 50% of his minutes (in the 20 most-used lineups). 82games also incorrectly lists Jared Dudley as the SG in 5 man rotations with Middleton, when that was not the case.

2. If you go through Basketball-Reference's 5 man lineups, he's the SG for 86-92% of his minutes (if you assume he played SG in lineups that included Giannis or Dudley, which he did).

3. If you watched all 82 Milwaukee Bucks games + the playoff games like I did, you would have seen that Middleton started at SG in basically all of them and continued to play SG almost exclusively in all of them (with the exception of the playoffs, where Kidd played OJ Mayo and Middleton together more, and therefore slid Middleton to the SF spot.

He's known for being a sort-of positionless guy because he can play SF and play some spot minutes at PF if needed, but that wasn't really asked of him this year. He'd switch on screens like everyone else, but Jared Dudley was the small-ball PF for Milwaukee, and Giannis generally would start out at SF and then fill in wherever needed. That's why there's no concern among Bucks fans about how Middleton, Giannis, and Jabari can all play together; we already know Middleton is great at SG; Giannis played a lot at both SF and PF, and Jabari can play at both SF and PF as well. If Middleton had mostly played SF this year, that would be an actual concern, but that simply wasn't the case.
