I am on the fence for Bynum for that skill. He could have it though

Re: Sig skills for each nba teams staring 5

While it is fun to see everyone's ideas on what each teams starting five will have, I believe some of the members of some teams won't have as many. I know that Ronnie2k has said that a starter could have none and a bench player could have 5 but I believe that unless a player really excels or shows greatness in a particular area he should not be assigned a sig skill.

For example, I believe I saw in one post that Asik had the defensive anchor skill. As great as Asik played, I don't believe that he is at the level of a defensive anchor. I believe that skill could be for more proven entities such as KG, Tyson, and Dwight. Lets give Asik some time to play in the rockets system to see if he really is an anchor, someone you build your def around, or a product of Thibs system.

Once again, I'm not knocking anyone's ideas becauses it's fun comparing everyone's opinions(where my kings fans at?!!!????) but I believe that the game really really separate the great, good, average, and mediocre players with these skills. I hope that 2k really assigns these skills to those really deserving of them as opposed to just assigning the because they are there.

PS: OP, can we do bench players?

i disagree to an extent.

If we concede that Asik is not a defensive anchor because he hasn`t played in the Rocket`s system, do we not then have to concede that rookies would not have any SSs untill we see if they can do them in their new settings/systems?

EX Austin Rivers has an Ankle Cracking Crossover, we've seen it in NCAA and pre-draft camps and a bit in summer league. Do you now take it away from him because he hasn't proven he can do it against Jose Calderon, Jameer Nelson, Chris Paul ect?

Golden State Warriors

Stephen Curry: Shot Creator, Deadeye, Break Starter
Brandon Rush: Chase Down Artist
Richard Jefferson: Corner Specialist
David Lee: Post Proficiency, Post Playmaker
Andrew Bogut: Bruiser, Brick Wall

Klay Thompson: Deadeye
Carl Landry: Post Playmaker
Jarrett Jack: Microwave
Harrison Barnes: Shot Creator, Spot Up Shooter

My take on the Warriors:


Stephen Curry: Shot Creator, Heat Retention, Break Starter, (and reverse Ankle Breaker.)
I want to add Spot Up Shooter here as I think Curry can catch and shoot as well as anyone on the team, but then he starts to look overpowered. I might also consider Alley-Ooper as he's connected on a few amazing half-court oops out of the break, but again, might be a bit overpowered. He also doesn't do this as much in the half court set, partly because he doesn't the teammates to do it with.


Klay Thompson: Deadeye, Spot Up Shooter


Brandon Rush: Chase Down Artist, Corner Specialist, Spot Up Shooter?


David Lee: Hustle Points, Post Playmaker
I hesitate to give Lee Post Proficiency even though he was much more consistent last season from the post and went to it as one of his primary weapons. Even though it's welcome growth for him, it's not really what he's currently known for.


Andrew Bogut: Bruiser, Defensive Anchor, Charge Card, Post Playmaker?
Bogut is the prototypical Defensive Anchor. He actively and vocally coordinates on defense and has been known to shove teammates where they need to be. He lead the league in blocks in 2010-2011. Lee and Bogut are also projected to be one of the top passing bigmen tandems this season.


The Bench:

Carl Landry: Post Proficiency


Jarrett Jack: Microwave


Harrison Barnes: Spot Up Shooter, Shot Creator
I'm not sure about Barnes and Shot Creator-- mainly because one of his knocks is that he can't reliably create his own shot, yet he shoots well in rhythm when he manages to get some space with a single dribble. Maybe this can be balanced by giving Barnes mediocre handles that limit him to settling for midrange shots.

Richard Jefferson: Spot Up Shooter

Festus Ezeli: Maybe Bruiser eventually. Dude is a big dude.

Jeremy Tyler: Highlight Film

Charles Jenkins: Microwave?

Draymond Green: Scrapper

Andris Biedrins: Nada.

I disagree with you to an extent as well. All of the skills are subjective and debatable but hopefully 2k can weigh in and clear some of this up for us.

While your argument is valid, I would not put the ankle breaker skill on the same level as the def. anchor or the closer skill. Case in point being, while Austin rivers has a great handle and handles don't change when you come to the next level, a skill such as being clutch may not transfer as well. We all remember Adam Morrison's Gonzaga days and would you say he was considered their closer and was clutch for them? I would say so, but that didn't transfer to well to the next level for him. Giving him the closer skill in 2k would be ridiculous would it not?

IMO, I believe that these skills should have a ranking or some should be considered on a high level than others. Someone mentioned it with APF 2k8's gold, silver, and bronze skills. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying that if a rookie comes in and shows that they are an anchor or a closer or whatever that they shouldn't possess said skills, but I believe that before we can assign those particular skills we should see how they play on the next level first.

As I said earlier they are all subjective and arguments can be made for each and every player but I feel,that the closer and def anchor skills should be held out for proven entities and I don't feel that you would. Build your def around Asik. He is a great defender and some who bangs with the best of them, but def anchor is hard for me to wrap my head around for him. That's just my 2 cents though.

Asik would have the hustle skill(forgot what it's called)

Yes. He needs to prove he can do it at this level.

Yes. He needs to prove he can do it at this level.

So rookies shouldn't have any Sig Skills?

I would say not until they have proven they deserve it.

2012-2013 Detroit Pistons

Brandon Knight : Spot up Shooter
Rodney Stuckey : Finisher, Shot Creator, Acrobat, Bruiser
Tayshaun Prince : Anti-freeze
Greg Monroe : Post Playmaker, Post Proficiency, Scrapper, Active Hands, Hustle Points
Andre Drummond : Highlight film, Eraser

I didn't want to give Drummond defensive anchor yet because he hasn't proven himself in that regard. While I'm at it, I might as well add the bench...

Austin Daye - Spot up shooter
Jonas Jerebko - Scrapper, hustle points
Kim English - Spot Up Shooter, Corner Specialist
Kyle Singler - Anti-freeze
Will Bynum - Shot creator
Jason Maxiell - Posterizer, Hustle points, Bruiser
