This just reaffirms that I think Tatum, Mitchell and Simmons are too high.

How?

Assuming they might have Simmons as an actual PG this year, Kemba averaged like 22 and 5 apg. If he was a sg he'd probably be higher overall.

Simmons averaged more assists and as a pg that counts more towards your rating as a pg right?

I don't have an issue with Simmons being higher than Kemba honestly. I could even kinda understand Mitchell. Tatum absolutely should not be. I could easily see Tatum passing him by this upcoming season but he was not playing at Kemba's level at this point in his career.

I think you're putting to much emphasis on the stats. Horford is what, like 13/6 and he's a great player, he outplayed Embiid in the most recent series.

Simmons maybe not. I dont think Mitchell and I definitely dont think Tatum.

I'm just hesitant with rookies. I remember everyone being fired up after Carter-Williams had a 16, 6 and 6 rookie season and then he started to fall off.

That's why I thought the sophomores were too high.

I would have went:

Simmons: 86
Mitchel: 84
Tatum: 83

The reality is that the ratings are dynamic now and change through the year, so it doesn't really matter that much, but that's just my opinion in regards to sophomore guys.

I wouldn't really say he outplayed embiid at all. The Celtics locked down everyone besides him causing him to play more out of rhythm and more recklessly..but that's besides the point.

Horford, Marc Gasol, etc...guys like that are just solid defenders with a nice jumper and mediocre post moves. They're not gonna ever go out and give you 30 and 20 and they're not gonna carry a team. They can't be rated too high because they're not franchise cornerstones just like Kemba.

You can see the generational talent in Embiid, Simmons, Tatum even...Kemba is 27 or whatever and not gonna get much better. This is a good rating for a scoring pg.

Mcw kinda never got a fair chance after he injured his shoulder and got traded, but like you said ratings change and regardless should reflect last seasons stats plus potential

I think in the playoffs Tatum was better than Simmons

It’s funny to see people be so rattled up about ratings when they can be easily edited or changed once the season starts. These ratings/numbers are very subjective and don’t accurately represent how good a player is in real life.

That's fine, I see what you're tryna do but bro I know basketball.

Everyone has an opinion and i look at guys like Gasol and his numbers were never impressive for all the attention he gets.

Reputation and solid defense can't be calculated but no one's gonna say horford is better than embiid because of a playoff series where he got numbers put up against him.

Iggy won finals MVP for his defense on Bron but in no way is he close to him in a ratings scale.. Right?

Right, but don't know why you included finals MVP into conversation, did Iggy outplay LeBron? No, if you switched their places Golden State would be a much better team.

I don't think the same applies to Embiid Horford series. I think you are really underrating Horford, he's a better shooter than Embiid, better passer, a smarter player, partly due to experiance, something Embiid doesn't have yet. Horford is a great player and a huge part of the team that was a win away from being in the finals.

Marc Gasol is a franchise player, I mean I am not sure what's the definition, but he was arguably the best player of a successful playoff team. Similar qualities to Horford, a great defender, passer, an outstanding bball iq, understanding of the game.

The point is, you should look past the stats.

I use to think the same way but I'm more understanding of the ratings complaints. The game comes out over a month before the season starts so if you are playing online or starting a franchise inaccurate ratings could be frustrating to deal with.

Personally I'm more concerned with how players play and how they are being used. If I am playing the CPU are teams utilizing players appropriately? Are players performing accurately, for the most part? Take Ben Simmons for example. He could have have a 90+ rating as long as he's not taking and making shots he would take in real life, which is anything about 15+ out.
