NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

After a year's absence, I returned to play the nba 2k. As some know I made some draft classes for NBA 2K13 and NBA 2K14. I have a very slow internet and i don't have to much time to do the draft classes now. So i want to help does that are doing it and maybe they can help me later.... I made some formulas based on the 2K formulas but this are for the draft classes and to me this can help giving more realistic attributes to the Prospects and improve the game experience. So let me show you some of my Formulas.

Strength of each Type draft by Ratings

Not every draft is equal, you can see the difference between a very strong draft like 2009 or 2003 and the infamous 2013 draft. So I divided the strength of them in three different categories…

Strong Draft Class
--->75-78 = Top 5 draft picks
--->71-74 = Lottery Picks
--->69-71 = Mid Late 1st Round Picks
--->67-69 = 2nd Round Picks
--->65-66 = Probable Undrafted

Average Draft Class
--->74-76 = Top 5 draft picks
--->70-73 = Lottery Picks
--->68-70 = Mid Late 1st Round Picks
--->66-68 = 2nd Round Picks
--->65-65 = Probable Undrafted

Weak Draft Class
--->73-75 = Top 5 draft picks
--->70-72 = Lottery Picks
--->67-70 = Mid Late 1st Round Picks
--->66-67 = 2nd Round Picks
--->64-65 = Probable Undrafted

Thanks man

Re: NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

You got some nice work there man

On some ratings you used per-game numbers, but maybe it's better to use per-40 numbers so players that don't get enough playing time would get a correct rating too (you could then remove points from players that have a small sample size).

Awesome work! Do you have any formulas for tendencies?

Nop i think that the per game stats are ok since i used the % stats too to avoid to overate and underrate the players.

For Example from the last NCCA Season:

Blocks (Average of Blocks % Rating and Block per game Rating)
Block% from www.sports-reference.com/cbb
--->7.0% = 90 Rating
--->6.0% = 85 Rating
--->5.0% = 80 Rating
--->4.0% = 75 Rating
--->3.5% = 70 Rating
--->3.0% = 65 Rating
--->2.5% = 60 Rating
--->2.0% = 55 Rating
--->1.5% = 50 Rating
--->1.0% = 45 Rating
--->0.5% = 40 Rating
--->0.0% = 35 Rating

Block per game
--->4.5 - 5.0 = 90 rating
--->3.9 - 4.4 = 85 rating
--->3.3 - 3.8 = 80 rating
--->2.7 - 3.2 = 75 rating
--->2.1 - 2.6 = 70 rating
--->1.5 - 2.0 = 65 rating
--->0.9 - 1.4 = 60 rating
--->0.6 - 0.8 = 55 rating
--->0.3 - 0.5 = 50 rating
--->0.0 - 0.2 = 40 rating

Willie Cauley-Stein (25 min per Game) ---> (90 Block% Rating + 65 Block per game rating) / 2 = 77.5 = 78 Rating
Karl-Anthony Towns (21 min per Game) ---> (90 Block% Rating + 70 Block per game rating) / 2 = 80 Rating
Frank Kaminsky (33 min per Game) ---> (75 Block% Rating + 60 Block per game rating) / 2 = 67.5 = 68 Rating
Amida Brimah (26 min per Game) ---> (90 Block% Rating + 80 Block per game rating) / 2 = 85 Rating
Myles Turner (22 min per Game) ---> (90 Block% Rating + 80 Block per game rating) / 2 = 80 Rating

If you use the per 40 min to do the rating you will have to many guys with a 90 block rating and as you know we should give a room to the players to grow. The Same is for the other ratings formulas that have % and per game stats.

With you compare them with players that are in the league now coming from the NCAA:

Anthony Davis (32 min per Game) ---> (90 Block% Rating + 90 Block per game rating) / 2 = 90 Rating (The only player that would have a 90 Rating before the Draft)

Re: NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

Tendency

Shot
Take the Player Field Goal Attempts per 40 minutes from http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb x 5
Examples:
---> 18 FGA per 40 min x 5 = 85 Tendency
---> 15 FGA per 40 min x 5 = 75 Tendency

Touches
Take the Player Usage Percentage from http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb x 3
Examples:
---> 25 Usage % x 3 = 75 Tendency
---> 30 Usage % x 3 = 90 Tendency

Foul
Take the Personal fouls per 40 minutes from http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb x 20
Examples:
---> 2.8 PF per 40 min x 20 = 56 Tendency
---> 3.0 PF per 40 min x 20 = 60 Tendency

I REALLY like this idea man. Using both. Makes sense.

This should be done with steals/rebounding/assists as well right?

Re: NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

I also think that should be done with shot ratings.

For example, take 3PT shooting.

If you have 2 players that both shoot 40% over the span of a season, but one attempts 300 and the other attempts 20, those two shouldn't have the same rating.

Attempts should be taken into consideration when producing ratings.

I feel the same should be true for free throws as well

This is nice!

Re: NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

I like this, it's similar to how I gauge my draft class. What are your thoughts about potential?

[Barncore]

Re: NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide & Formulas Project

Nice work man. Quick question. I noticed you have quite a hard cap on defensive consistency ratings.
I.e. for elite prospects they have a defensive consistency rating of 60-65, and average prospects have 40-45.

Can i ask what your reasoning is for why it's so low? Is it because official 2k rosters have low defensive consistency ratings? or is it because you believe defensive consistency is something that young players lack? Or is it because defensive consistency in 2k's MyLeague mode progresses faster than other categories?

Just looking to get a feel for the thinking there. Thanks
