Can someone tell me why the Suns are overloading at the point? I just don't understand that strategy. Could work in college (maybe) but I don't see that working to well in the NBA.

Having the best 3-guard rotation in basketball is as good a reason as any.

Suns were 23-11 when Dragic/Bledsoe started.
Hornacek was a PG before he played with Kevin Johnson & John Stockton.
Dragic was essentially a SG last year. At 6'3" and 190 he's the same size Hornacek was.

6'7: DeMar DeRozan, Joe Johnson, Kevin Martin, Klay Thomspon, Kyle Korver, Jimmy Butler
6'6": Danny Green, Alec Burks, Nik Stauskas, Alexey Shved
6'5": James Harden, Lance Stephenson, Arron Afflalo, Bradley Beal, Wesley Matthews, Courtney Lee, Iman Shumpert, Rodney Stuckey, Anthony Morrow
6'4": Dwyane Wade, Dion Waiters, Eric Gordon, Victor Oladipo, Jodie Meeks, J.J. Redick
6'3": Goran Dragic, Monta Ellis, Brandon Knight
6'2: Avery Bradley

The vast majority of SGs nowadays have PG experience, and the ones that don't are knockdown shooters or 3 & D guys. Dragic isn't big but it's not like anyone is going to lose sleep over his ability to check Eric Gordon or Anthony Morrow (the Suns have 6'8" freak athlete Gerald Green behind him if size/stature is an issue). Jason Terry (6'2") and Ben Gordon (6'3") have been SGs nearly their entire careers.

If Plumlee and the Morris twins continue developing the Suns will be contenders in no time. It's easier for them to develop when the team has three elite PnR orchestrators running the offense at any given time.

Not to nit pick but you left Manu Ginobili, Jamal Crawford and Kobe Bryant (all 6'6") off your list.

Reallu liking the rating feel like they reffect value to team. Oposed to an order determining who would most likely win in a 1v1 like past rating systems. Curious to see dennis rodmans rating gota be at least 92. Hey matt and nicole any way we can get a few classic players ratings?

I am not sure if classic ratings will be released, but they are different from years past.

Their offense wouldn't be the thing to worry about. It'd be defense. When they match up against teams out in the West like GS with Curry, Thompson, and Iguodala. The Spurs with Parker, Green/Ginobili, and Leonard. OKC with Jackson, Westbrook, and Durant. Then in the East with teams like the Cavs with Irving, Waiters, and LBJ; Charlotte with Kemba, Stephenson, and MKG.

They're giving up A LOT of size when they run a lineup of Thomas, Dragic, and Bledsoe. Sure you can throw in Green from time to time, but I think they should've been looking for an upgrade at the 2 and 3 and some depth down low. I think they were solid at the point already and the acquistion of Thomas will cut into Dragic and Bledsoe's minutes.

Maybe it'll work, but personally, I would've gone after someone like Parsons instead of Thomas.

Ricky Rubio is one of the worst PGs in the history of the NBA. A 79? GTFOH

Man, Jennings is getting a ton of mileage off that 55-point game his rookie year.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Thanks for the pick-me-up.

Curious to see the individual ratings for certain players. Specifically, Drummond and DeAndre. I can't think of a single thing that Drummond does better than DeAndre, yet Drummond has the slight upper hand. It's only two points difference so it's obviously not a big deal but I just can't think of what makes one better than the other.
Overall though, the new ratings seem to be a lot more accurate than the last couple of years.

IMO I THINK Joe Johnson is overrated IRL and in the game...i think Paul Pierce is better overall....but other than that, the new system seems spot on to me so far

Overrated? Did you see any Nets games? He was the only one who was actually good on that team. While Pierce was putting up bricks, JJ was killing it. He is definitely underrated. He was an all-star and killed it in the playoffs

Roy Hibbert 80? No way. David West only 80? Bump him up 3-4. David West is the best player on the Pacers.

Re: NBA 2K15 Player Ratings Revealed For the 75th Overall Rated Player Through 51

I'm dying to know what kind of individual ratings justify Rubio's 79.

He's not a 79 athlete. He's not a 79 defender. He's not a 79 shooter.

He better be a good ball handler to go along with his passing skills...

I assume this has been brought up by now, but Rubio is one of the best defenders in the NBA at the PG position. His hands are amazing and he does a great job of playing angles to stay in front of guys. He's not a great athlete, but he isn't unathletic either, and while he's among the worst shooters/finishers in the NBA, his ball-handling and passing ability are both elite. I think a 79 is pretty perfect for him at this point in time until he can improve his scoring a bit.

Just like everybody else forgets the majority of the season

To keep/improve his rating he will have to perform much better than he did in the playoffs. Player's like Hibbert and Bogut impact the game in so many ways that basic statistics can't always show. Having an elite rim protector is a valuable asset to a team. There is a reason teams spend so much money to keep these types around

Well his regular season was pretty unforgettable too. I understand rim protectors have different ratings in this game, but that's all that Hibbert is. He can't score, he can't rebound, and he can't pass. He can protect the rim, that's it. The Hawks proved that wasn't such a big deal when Pero Antic had a field day with Hibbert in the playoffs. It's crazy to me that a one dimensional player can get an 80 rating but I'll reserve any further judgement until I play the game.
