NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Marc Gasol – 83, Pau Gasol – 87, Serge Ibaka – 81

[RedRiddler]

We all know Bosh won't be an 88, arguing is futile. It has been well documented that Gasol is the most skilled big, a legitimate 4 and 5 like Duncan.

Have you heard of Lamarcus Aldridge? I think he should/will be a 88 or 89 based on what other players were rated.

That would be a cool story, if we were talking about Larmacus Aldridge...

unless you are implying that LMA is more skilled than Gasol ? if so then

anyways a higher rating than Gasol =/= more skilled.

define "skill" he is clearly better than Pau.

Pau is slowly turning into a midrange jumpshooter only in offense though.

skill is a very clear cut term.

Howard is clearly better than LMA, but LMA is more skillful.

Do you disagree that LMA should be rated higher than Pau?

No, but I would find it amusing if he wasn't because I know you'd be up in arms.

Wouldn't you if Durant was less rated than Granger? Assuming you are a Thunder fan.

*not a thunder fan*

but comparing situations is an extreme, the gap between LMA and Pau is not Durant vs Granger wide.

Marc should be greater than 83, I guess.

I was expecting Pau to be around 82 to 85. Maybe 87 is fair since he was able to retain his season averages despite sliding from being 2nd to 3rd option.

pau gasol. 87. yup. at this point im convinced lebron will be a 109 overall.

How is Marc better than Pau? Riddle me this? What level of production does he excel at over Pau? The media perception of these brothers is crazy. Ill use the per 36 min scale to keep the comparison fair.

Pau 11/12: 16.7ppg, 50%fg, 13.6 FG per game, 10rbg, 1.3blks
Pau defense: Post Up PPP .73 and PnR man .8

Marc 11/12: 14.5ppg, 48%fg, 11.2FG per, 8.8rb, 1.8blks
Marc defense: Post up PPP .7 and PnR man .98


So there you have it. Only thing Marc has the edge on Pau is shotblocking but even then its not much. Pau is still a much better offensive player, passer and PnR defender than Marc. I think people just saw Pau's last 2 playoff years and choose to use his brother as a mean to slight him but in the end he is still one if not the most all around big man in the league and top producers at PF/C....and dont let the Laker avi fool you. I speak facts only not feelings.

Re: NBA 2K13 Player Ratings - Marc Gasol – 83, Pau Gasol – 87, Serge Ibaka – 81

LOL so Pau wasn't a third option on the Lakers offense last season? Kobe - Bynum - Gasol. Bosh is nowhere near the player Gasol is, in terms of skill. On Defense he is arguably better...but just that.

On Topic: Waiting for D12, Wade & LBJ's ratings. C'mon 2k!

Um look at what Bosh did in TO with the Raptors as the main threat. He was damn near the best pf in the league.

Bynum only started getting serious touches this past year, while Pau and Kobe sahred the majority of the offensive load. Bosh >> Pau

Actually neither is true, Bosh and Pau are 2 totally diff players that fit their respective teams. Bosh a better shooter but Pau much better post player obviously. Defensively Bosh much better PnR defender and Pau much better in the post.

How about you guys stop having a pissing match and throw out stats to back up your arguments. One thing that needs to be killed is that Marc is better than Pau. There is no rhyme or reason to this fact. Pau is also much more productive at the 5 but since Bynum emerged this past year that was a no go.

meh, they both played below average last season but 2k tends to go off name recognition instead of on court performance .
