    Re: NBA 2K19 Screenshots and Player Ratings

    I have Jackson as an 81/PF (Elite Defender)

    As with Ayton and other Rookies I'm expecting his OVR to be suppressed by a low Intangibles. Jackson's performance (14 BLK% as a freshman) is particularly insane, this class is so good.

    STRENGTHS
    Lets just say that if Serge Ibaka entered the league with a 3pt shot he would have went much higher than 24th.

    WEAKNESSES
    His rebounding is so poor that you can't justify playing him at center (which has also kept Ibaka from logging much time here in his career). Yet he may end up playing most of his minutes there on a Grizzlies team with no other obvious backup to Gasol. Also lacks post moves (granted he's 19). Ain't ya pops play with Hakeem, Duncan, and Robinson?

    NCAA BLK% Notables
    18.8% Hassan Whiteside (All-Time Leader)
    13.8% Anthony Davis

    Most of the players who lead in this category don't possess a shred of offensive talent (the ones who do sniff the league are backup-tier guys like Jeff Withey). A player with Jackson's offensive tools stands out as a major sleeper candidate in terms of where he could be five years from now. Probably highest upside in the draft.

      When rating guys what do you take into account to give them high intangible ratings and do you have a rough scale you go by or do you do it off personal preference?

        In your opinion, does it seem like players are getting more skilled and developed at a younger age now more than ever?

        Due to this generation being raised on the internet with unlimited access to video footage and information, professional trainers and nutritionists, positionless basketball now requiring a high level of skill at the 1-5, heavy emphasis on shooting etc.

        Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, and Jayson Tatum already trying to make a case to become NBA All Stars in their sophmore seasons.

        Do you feel like this paradigm shift is one of the reasons why 2K can't keep bringing rookies in at an artificial low to mid 70s rating anymore off rip?

        I get that they haven't played a game in the league yet, but the rookies never really seem to jump off the screen to me when you play as them. They should probably get a little bit more love.

              I think that because of "Analytics" people at all levels (players, coaches, trainers, GMs, scouts, etc) have a better understanding of what makes an effective basketball player.

              Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, and Jayson Tatum already trying to make a case to become NBA All Stars in their sophomore seasons.
              I don't think that's much different from your average class though.
              Mitchell still slipped through the cracks and was drafted immediately behind Malik Monk and Luke Kennard.

              I think there was one defining draft that really set the wheels in motion.

              2015
              Stars: Towns (1st), Porzingis (4th), Turner (11th), Booker (13th)
              Medium: Russell (2nd), Cauley-Stein (6th), Kaminsky (9th), Winslow (10th), Lyles (12th)
              Busts: Okafor (3rd), Hezonja (5th), Mudiay (7th), S.Johnson (8th)

              I think that in the last three years this draft helped us establish:
              Porzingis players: REALLY GOOD
              Okafor players: REALLY BAD

              Do you feel like this paradigm shift is one of the reasons why 2K can't keep bringing rookies in at an artificial low to mid 70s rating anymore off rip?
              I have found throughout the years that 2K underrates the vast majority of NBA players - rookies are no exception. Conversely, stars are typically overrated Gods due to casual appeal.

              Anytime there is a team with a bench mob (like Utah) they will rate criminally low. This isn't a recent development. I've been covering this for a staggering 15 years now. It will always be the case until someone like me with a hard commitment to detail ends up in charge. Even then, that person would still need the backing to get it cleared through the numerous bureaucrats within the company who would favor a status quo. (Why take the Ri$k?)

                  Rashidi, looking at the players you've rated the one I've noticed is missing is LaMarcus Aldridge, im assuming you have ratings for him?

                    His render nor his rating has been posted by 2K. Pretty sure he'll be around an 87 - 89 rating.

                            Examples of Drafts where basketball professionals didn't understand basketball: 2006

                            POINT GUARDS
                            21. Rajon Rondo (All-Star)
                            22. Marcus Williams
                            24. Kyle Lowry (All-Star)
                            26. Jordan Farmar
                            27. Sergio Rodriguez
                            29. Mardy Collins
                            42. Daniel Gibson

                            Holy crap GMs were ****ing terrible.

                            SHOOTING GUARD
                            6. Brandon Roy (All-Star)
                            7. Randy Foye
                            11. J.J. Redick
                            13. Thabo Sefolosha
                            14. Ronnie Brewer
                            19. Quincy Douby
                            25. Shannon Brown
                            28. Maurice Ager

                            Roy and Foye battled injuries that sapped their careers. Redick had a legit NBA skill and ended up working at his inadequacies to stick in the league.

                            Sefolosha ended up a key 3 & D guy, while Brewer never developed that 3 and subsequently faded each year his athleticism waned. It was a similar story for the rest of the slashers who didn't pan out (note that guards who rely on athleticism rather than skill will have shorter careers).

                            At 6'3" 170, Quincy Douby was a poor man's Jimmer Fredette, except he was so bad you couldn't even run him at PG. Not only did this player exist, it even got drafted in the first round, and ahead of two All-Star PGs... GMs had no clue what qualities to look for...

                            SMALL FORWARD
                            3. Adam Morrison
                            8. Rudy Gay
                            16. Rodney Carney
                            17. Shawne Williams
                            20. Renaldo Balkman
                            31. James White
                            35. P.J. Tucker

                            I don't care what he averaged in college, the writing was on the wall that Morrison was not going to be a better pro than Rudy Gay or Brandon Roy. He wasn't an athlete, wasn't a shooter, wasn't even a passer.

                            Ah, Isiah Thomas, the gift that keeps on giving. Renaldo Balkman was projected to go undrafted and Isiah, a Hall of Fame Point Guard, took him directly ahead of TWO All-Star Point Guards. This is precisely what happens when arrogant jocks "go by feel".

                            P.J. Tucker ended up the 2nd best SF in the class, by virtue of him being the only guy who could guard his position that ended up learning how to shoot.

                            POWER FORWARDS
                            1. Andrea Bargnani
                            2. LaMarcus Aldridge (All-Star)
                            4. Tyrus Thomas
                            5. Shelden Williams
                            15. Cedric Simmons
                            23. Josh Boone
                            29. Joel Freeland
                            32. Steve Novak
                            33. Solomon Jones
                            34. Paul Davis
                            36. Craig Smith
                            47. Paul Millsap (All-Star)
                            49. Leon Powe

                            What a poor gamble by Toronto, focusing only on Bargnani's strengths and not on his weaknesses, and missing out on Aldridge in the process (yes, they already had Bosh, but that's not a justification for drafting Bargnani instead).

                            Aldridge ended up clear best player in this class. He was a super safe pick, had a high skill level, and was the rare big with a post game. That would have been exactly what Chicago needed. They traded him for Tyrus Thomas (aka future Josh Smith), for reasons I don't think anyone wants to remember.

                            The long and the short of it though is that every PF drafted between Aldridge and Millsap was a steaming pile of dung. They were critically flawed one-dimensional role players, exemplified by Shelden Williams at #5. Bargnani is the #3 PF in this class and at least was a top 10 overall player (which is saying something). His career got ruined the moment he was selected #1.

                            CENTERS
                            9. Patrick O'Bryant
                            10. Mohammed Sene
                            12. Hilton Armstrong
                            18. Oleksiy Pecherov
                            50. Ryan Hollins

                            Three centers taken in the lottery and none of them panned out (while the Wizards used a first-rounder to wait two years on a likewise not good enough Pecherov). Teams still couldn't learn their lesson (while future All-Star PGs went in the 20s). It should say something Hollins had the best career out of these guys and that it's not even close (he was also the best Bobcat drafted that day, also not close).

                            The following teams had good drafts: Blazers (Aldridge/Roy), Celtics (Rondo/Powe), Grizzlies (Gay/Lowry), Magic (Redick), Jazz (Brewer/Millsap), Rockets (traded Gay for Shane Battier).

                            Every other team was pretty measurably terrible in terms of talent evaluation (with the worst offender being the Knicks). Rondo/Lowry wouldn't have slipped through the cracks today while teams were gambling on a slew of athletic 2/3/4/5s.
