Styles of Dunking for players (Sets)

[hulyan]

any suggestion for Brook Lopez? i have him with Duncan, but he's not really dunking.

For Brook Lopez? That's a little tough, because, like you, I haven't seen him dunk much. I'd either go with Generic at a very low rating (most of the dunks will be "standing dunks"), Duncan, like you said, or possibly Shaq with a very low rating. He's got a physical style of play, and isn't very explosive. His brother Robin is more explosive, but still not anyone to put in a dunk contest...

actually the last 5 games or so all he does IS dunk. Watch some recent Nets highlights and you'll see. I recommend the NJ OKC game. On one dunk he took off near the free throw line.

It was Robin Lopez that took off from near the foul line.

His brother doesn't really dunk very well, from what I was watching. He's not as agile or explosive, more of a power player.

Robin Lopez is more explosive. I always kind of new that, from scouting reports.

A urjaywall lets just base dunk packages off current nba dunks and not what they did in college. I never seen ben gordon do a amazing dunk in the nba hench that's y I replied with T. Parker package. I'm base on my dunk packages off the current level of nba dunks.

But the point is he still can. If he was unable to dunk anymore, that would be different. I think if you give him the basic guard set with a rating of 85, all his dunks will be very basic, unless you have a wide open break, in which its possible (but will be rare) that he can do a windmill. He still has a 40 inch vertical...

But what's the fun of having an athletic guy like Gordon, who can do windmills and between the legs dunks, and giving him a 60 rating with the worst dunk package, just because he's yet to do a windmill in an NBA game. Its a video game, not TV. If he isn't doing it on TV, make him do it on a video game, because he certainly can do it on TV, he just hasn't yet...

Come on man that video is from FOUR YEARS AGO. I can show you videos of Iverson dunking from four years ago. He isn't doing anything like that now. I am a Bulls fan and there is no way Gordon deserves anything close to an 85 dunk rating. He just doesn't dunk like that. This is the NBA not college or what you can do in a practice gym. You get the rating for what you can do in an NBA GAME. No matter what package you give him an 85 rating is too high and he will be dunking in traffic. That is something that Gordon doesn't do.

I agree totally. Ben Gordon has no highlights dunk wise in the nba so far and hence he should have a low dunk rating and no special dunk package.
