Somebody please explain to me how Capela is like 5 points higher than Steven Adams but does basically nothing better. I'll wait.

I'm going to say it's because the Rockets were got as hell. And he recently had those dunk games I posted before.

I know I know it's not perfect. But he'll come back down. Steven Adams game are similar. But Adams doesn't play in DaToni system.

I have clue if you've played with Capela before. But he wasn't threat before the last 2 updates.

I think Capela will come back down. Don't worry about that lol.

Because Capela has been playing out of his mind this year, he's probably a having a Top 5-7 season, easily Top 10.

Capela is well deserving of an 87, I don't understand the complaint across the thread here, Rashidi is correct in his assessment of him and I usually have a huge difference in opinions with him.

Glad to see a few updated ratings, although this roster update is far from perfect, Oladipo, Jamal Murray, Beasley, Mirotic and Kuzma all deserved their boosts.

Bias time. Nice to see Embiid at 89, Simmons' play of late was deserving a rating decline, Saric is so inconsistent I don't even care what he's rated. Jerrryd Bayless sucks, wouldn't be surprised if he hits 69 this year.

I can’t dunk with guards that dunk in real life like Nwaba ( who attempts a lot ) and Dunn . Oladipo ( cpu ) had no prob doing a backscratcher through my Center tho
