    They need to get Dyson Daniels some more defensive badges.

    When do they usually do badge updates?

      **** he's annoying already. But agree. Most deflections in the league.

      The worst update that's going to happen is Wemby. I already hate this mother ****er current ratings. Anything more is going to be too much [emoji23]

      Other people that will need an update. Thompson and Eason. Are already highly rated. But defensive is where they need a upgrade

        They only have him stealing badges. He is good on and off the ball defending also. He is going to be on an all defensive team this year.

          I don't know about off ball pest. But on the ball and pass perception should be in the high 90's

          But agree he's all defensive team if he stays healthy.

            2K Sports' Dyson Daniels Rating Changes
            79 (+5) OVERALL
            85 (+4) Driving Layup
            75 (+15) Shot IQ
            81 (+2) Perimeter Defense
            75 (+10) Offensive Consistency
            80 (+5) Defensive Consistency
            80 (+2) Help Defense
            70 (+25) Intangibles
            4 Badges (NC)

            Minor buff to his defense, major buffs to their three favorite Intangibles ratings.
            I will keep calling Mike out on his BS until he's ousted and they bring in someone who cares/knows about the NBA.

            ------------------------------------------------------

            The Badges I have on Daniels:
            GOLD: Interceptor
            SILVER: Float Game, Glove, Pick Dodger (ADD)
            BRONZE: Challenger (ADD), Off-Ball Pest (ADD), On-Ball Menace (ADD), Versatile Visionary
            TOTAL: 9 (+5)
            As the current Steals leader, Daniels seems likely to take Caruso's place on the Defensive team, as the latter currently isn't getting enough minutes to really qualify.

            Interceptions/36
            2023: 3.1
            2024: 4.6 (3rd in NBA - minimum 1000 mins)
            2025: 8.3 (311 mins)

            Thybulle was #1 with 5.3.
            Dyson's current rate will go down, but anything over a 5 is League Leader / HOF territory
            Thybulle 3x, Caruso, Covington, GP2, Dunn, and Nerlens Noel are the players who've hit that benchmark since 2020.
            When do they usually do badge updates?
            Technically, every update. They'll do a small handful. Given how much of an impact Badges have on OVR now, most players with large increases or decreases likely has a badge change. Though clearly that wasn't the case for Daniels.

              Waiting for my boy Jared Maccain's next update

              Gave him a slight increase this in this one but I'm sure it will be bigger in the next.

                I would caution against overreacting to big games where nobody is healthy (someone has to take shots in a 48-minute game)

                The most important takeaway is that McCain's pushed vets like Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson out of the Sixers rotation. His biggest obstacle to significant playing time is that he's ostensibly a Tyrese Maxey clone and it's tough to play both at the same time (when healthy, of course).

                SHOOTING (208 mins)
                Layup: 18-39 FG (46 FG%, 28 AST%, 6.8 FGA/36)
                Dunk: 0-0 FG
                Close: 13-33 FG (39 FG%, 31 AST%, 5.7 FGA/36)
                Mid: 4-4 FG (100 FG%, 50 AST%, 0.7 FGA/36
                3pt: 20-52 FG (39 FG%, 85 AST%, 9.0 FGA/36)
                FT: 23-23 FT (100 FT%)
                FT Rate: 19.8%
                OVERALL: 59 TS% on 29 USG% (61 TS% on 21 USG% at Duke)

                Volume is something that's much more stable than FG% at this point in the season (though in McCain's case his USG is inflated from PHI's lack of health thus far).

                R2K Jared McCain Shot Ratings
                75 (+1) Layup
                50 (-20) Dunk
                79 (+5) Close
                80 (NC) Mid
                85 (+3) 3pt
                91 (+5) FT (88.5% last year, combined he is 100-110, good for 91%)
                45 (+3) Draw Foul
                80 (+30) Shot IQ

                Ultimately these are all pretty close to where I had him at leaving College. Seth Curry is his comp.

                PLAYMAKING
                23.6 AST% (Only 11% w/ Duke)
                2.3 A/T (Only 1.4 w/ Duke)
                N/A Synergy Playtype Data (Pick & Roll, Isos, Spotups, etc)

                The lack of Synergy data makes it harder to grade McCain's Ball Handling at the NBA level.
                What is clear is he's capable of a larger on-ball role than what he was asked of at Duke.

                R2K McCain Playmaking Ratings
                80 (-2) Ball Handle
                65 (+6) Pass Vision
                75 (+8) Pass IQ
                75 (+7) Pass Accuracy
                85 (NC) Hands
                80 (+20) Offensive Consistency

                Based on the tape I've seen, I don't think McCain is quick enough to be a full-time lead guard / shot creator, but has a high IQ and is going to make all the basic / intermediate reads as a secondary guard.

                BADGES
                2K Sports gave ZERO badges to McCain, which was stupid, considering his specializations as a prospect.

                R2K BADGES
                SILVER: Mini Marksman, Set Shot Specialist, Shifty Shooter
                BRONZE: Bail Out, Float Game, Slippery Off-Ball
                TOTAL: 6 (+6)

                  Christian Braun 2K Rating Changes (353 mins)
                  80 (+4) OVERALL
                  85 (+6) Driving Layup: 30-51 FG (59 FG%, 77 AST%, 5.2 FGA/36)
                  85 (+5) Driving Dunk: 7-7 FG (100 FG%, 100 AST%, 0.7 FGA/36)
                  55 (+10) Draw Foul: 35.2% FTR
                  78 (+11) Close Shot: 4-19 FG (21 FG%, 25 AST%, 1.9 FGA/36)
                  66 (+10) Mid-Range: 1-3 FG (33 FG%, 100 AST%, 0.3 FGA/36)
                  84 (+2) 3pt Shot: 17-34 FG (50 FG%, 100 AST%, 3.5 FGA/36)
                  81 (+5) Free Throw: 30-37 FT (81 FT%) - Career 69%
                  90 (+15) Shot IQ: 67 TS% on 16 USG%
                  85 (+13) Hands
                  85 (+15) Offensive Consistency: 0.8 OBPM
                  90 (+10) Intangibles

                  -The main improvement for Braun has been his Rim Finishing (9% better on Layups on good volume) and FT Drawing (+8%). I wouldn't hold my breath on his 3PT% (though one could argue better shot selection, and bake that into IQ)

                  -Not sure why 2K keeps pushing his dunk rate so high (besides highlights on Gobert). He's not someone who's doing it in half-court settings.

                  -Some significant fibbing on Braun's short Mid-Range (Close Shot)

                  -The lack of 3pt volume/creation means significantly more to Braun's shooting ability than his shooting percentage on such a paltry number of attempts for a starting SG.

                  -Likewise w/ FT%, the sample sizes this early are going to make them look foolish.

                  ----------------------------------

                  BADGE CHANGES
                  11 TOTAL (+5)
                  SILVER: Posterizer (ADD), Set Shot Specialist (ADD)
                  BRONZE: Mini Marksman (ADD), Physical Finisher (ADD), Slippery Off-Ball (ADD)

                  -Posterizer should have already been there (I had Bronze in 2023, Silver in 2024)
                  -Set Shot Specialist (Silver???) is unacceptable for a player with such limited volume. This idiot is 15 years into editing rosters for 2K and hasn't figured out 3PT% =/= Shooting Ability.
                  Braun has 3.5 Spotup/36 possessions this year, which is DOWN from 4.0 last season.

                  -Slippery is acceptable based on this season (1.3 Handoffs/36, doubled from 0.6)

                  -Mini Marksman? Mans is the size of Mikal Bridges, might as well give it to EVERY guard at that point

                    Gradey Dick Rating Changes (389 mins)
                    85 (+10) Driving Layup: 19-44 FG (43 FG%, 84 AST%, 4.1 FGA/36)- Last year was not any better...
                    89 (+5) Close Shot: 28-51 FG (55 FG%, 82 AST%, 4.7 FGA/36) - Compare to Braun
                    87 (+14) Mid-Range: 6-12 FG (50 FG%, 83 AST%, 1.1 FGA/36)
                    83 (+1) 3pt Shot: 31-83 FG (37 FG%, 97 AST%, 7.7 FGA/36) - Compare to Braun
                    88 (+3) Free Throw: 46-52 FT (89%)
                    66 (+20) Draw Foul: 28.4% FTR (+17%)
                    79 (+2) Ball Handle: 2.0 PNR/36
                    85 (+15) Shot IQ: 59 TS% on 24 USG%
                    76 (+3) Speed
                    74 (+4) Ball Speed
                    90 (+10) Offensive Consistency (1.6 OBPM)
                    55 (+5) Defensive Consistency (-1.6 DBPM)
                    85 (+5) Intangibles

                    Ratings are mostly fine (though I have no idea what's going on w/ that Layup rating)
                    LOL at how over-inflated Dick's OffCon was prior to this (-3.2 OBPM last season lol) for him to only go up 10 points there.

                    BADGES
                    SILVER: Set Shot Specialist (+1)
                    BRONZE: Deadeye (ADD), Layup Mixmaster, Physical Finisher, Pogo Stick, Shifty Shooter (ADD), Slippery Off-Ball (ADD), Strong Handle (ADD)
                    TOTAL: 8 (+4)

                    Funny how Braun has better shooting badges than Dick... while Dick had mostly finishing badges prior to this...

                    Spotups/36 (Set Shot)
                    2024 Dick: 5.5
                    2025 Dick: 5.4 = SILVER
                    2024 Braun: 4.0
                    2025 Braun: 3.5 = SILVER

                    Off-Screen+Handoffs/36 (Slippery)
                    2024 Dick: 3.3
                    2025 Dick: 6.0 = BRONZE???? (This is Curry/Klay HOF territory FYI)
                    2024 Braun: 0.6
                    2025 Braun: 1.3 = BRONZE

                      Did Franz Wagner get a secret update? I see his overall went to 2 points?

                      They boosted shooting and still left his defense in the group. When can we stop treating players like this.
