Players Who Outperform Their Ratings

[Nickstank]

I'm thinking about doing a fantasy draft with current NBA players at some point this year, and I'm looking to come up with a list of guys who outplay their ratings. Who are the underrated beasts in this year's game? A few of mine are below:

Kristaps Porzingis - I know he's in the mid-80s overall, but he plays even better than that. He's a defensive menace and can score from all over the floor. He's one of the very best players I've used so far

Lonzo Ball - An offensive force who plays WAY about an 80 overall. His shot looks awkward IRL, but it's one of the easiest to green in the game. He also has elite size for his position and finishes well around the rim

Zach LaVine - Dunks on everyone and hits jumpers at a high rate. I love his athleticism/shooting combination. Definitely plays a tier above what his overall says

Thon Maker. 75.

Dennis Smith Jr. 76.

Ben McLemore. 73. Ask anyone who has ever played me when I played with the Kings. THEY HATE HIM. He dunks everything and has an 80+ 3 pointer again.

Austin Rivers. 80. He has this amazing habit in every 2K where he gets every single foul call known to man. I've had more freethrows with Rivers than I have with James Harden.

Blake Griffin. 87. Completely unstoppable on offense. Can't be guarded. Plays like a 95.

Jahlil Okafor. 73. Can easily average 20+ per game in the hands of a skilled user. Once he gets deep post position he finishes everything and if you sneeze on him it's a foul.

Joakim Noah - 73 Rated

If your team is over the cap anyway and you're not worried about making cap space (Noah's contract eats up space), Noah is an absolute freak off the bench. He rebounds everything, gets easy buckets in transition because of his hustle rating, and does well with rotations and protecting the paint.

He's also rated lowly enough where you can bring him off the bench in a game mode like MyGM without making him upset.

Thon Maker. Just like last year. Guy is a beast, at pretty much everything. It almost seems unfair at times lol

Can't wait to give these other players mentioned a look at

Langston Galloway. Dude gets buckets for me in MyLeague. Can play and defend both guard positions and is a lights out shooter. Only problem is his huge contract, but on the court he's nice.

Thon Maker is the next JR Smith/Tracy McGrady. Pick and pop he makes every 3. Scored 50 something points with him online. He had like 16 threes

Re: Players Who Outperform Their Ratings

Jabari Parker is an outstanding player despite only being around an 83 rating.
Thon Maker as others have said is great for PnP and also in the paint.
Khris Middleton can shoot the lights out from 3 and is a valuable contributor on both ends.

I'm listing Bucks due to them being the main team I play with.

Re: Players Who Outperform Their Ratings

I think it's too early for things like this, or do you have a crystal ball?
...just wait for the season-openers and roster-updates...I'm sure, some overrrated-guys will fall and some underrated guys will raise....

why 2k didn't release the game in october? because the publishers are too greedy....

to sum it up...we have good gameplay with flaws, but the rest is broken!

Dennis Smith Jr. and Seth Curry

He basically plays like Steph. He hit 6 threes on me in a half

Re: Players Who Outperform Their Ratings

Go out and sign Felder at PG. Spud 2.0 will dunk on the bigs. SERIOUSLY outperforms his ratings with me.

Stauskas underperforms dreadfully on 3's, even playing with true % on.
