NBA 2K12: Top Rookies

[RaychelSnr]

The NBA lockout has finally come to an end. We're now only a few days away from basketball returning, but we now have rookies in NBA 2K12 as well. We've been months without some key players, and that has now come to end. A majority of the key rookies have signed and are now in the game, so we here at Operation Sports put together a list of the top rookies in NBA 2K12.

Nolan Smith was shown too much love IMO. For a mid 20-something pick, he shouldn't be the third best rookie, and isn't the third best rookie for that matter.....

PS: Is that picture of Rubio taken on PC or PS3, cause it looks nothing like what I'm playing....

I simply did a google search for "Ricky Rubio NBA 2K12" and that came up. It was hard to find pictures of these players since they are all so new to the game. It could be PC, but I'm not entirely sure.

Honestly the ratings feel a bit high considering this draft was deep rather than strong at the top - by all accounts. But I suppose that wouldn't be as popular. I was definitely surprised to see Kemba with the same rating as Kyrie

I love Reggie Jackson. He has good size for a PG and a decent inside/out game. He is very quick and has excellent range.

Totally whiffed on Kennith Faried man. Guy is a beast on the boards and his high vertical/block rating make him a force. Offensively he is raw but his putbacks and offensive boards make him decent on that end.

Klay Thompson is a beast. Great 3 point shooter and has some size as a 6'7 shooting guard. Actually feel he may be a bit underrated though in a fell ratings

Re: NBA 2K12: Top Rookies

Getting Irving and Thompson have helped me a lot when playing online. Irving gives me the scoring and playmaking I lost from Mo Williams and BD. Thompson and Andy are great defensively in the paint and perimeter. Thompson scoring is under-rated, dangerous off the pick and roll, fast break, and can occasionally hit the jumper.

Re: NBA 2K12: Top Rookies

Vesely is a problem off the bench. I run him at the 4 since he's athletically superior to most PFs. He's great at attacking (72 layup, 81 dunk), and if I miss I can usually grab the offensive board due to him being 6'11" with a 75 vert.

And don't forget he's a Dukie.

Faried from denver is a beast on the boards!!!

Re: NBA 2K12: Top Rookies

Rookies are rater WAY too high in 2k12. I don't wanna re-rate them all, but I DID edit potentials way down. Makes association, years down the line, more fun and realistic.

Iman Shumpert is a beast. just too big and athletic for a PG... it's really unfair.
