Players Who Exceed Expectations

[jmchugh582]

Everyone has those players that perform way better than their overall. Lately, that player for me has been Onyx David West. He can do everything under the sun. His ability to stretch the floor has been uncanny and his release is wet.

Diamond Lillard plays like a 99 at times, and can be unstoppable.

Bronze Kentavious Caldwell Pope was amazing for me when I had to use him in the early seeds

Terrence Ross is one silver I can't stop using.

Terrence Ross is one silver I can't stop using.

Also Silver Vince Carter is amazing.

Quicker than stats suggest, always first on the fast break, easy release

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

- Silver jamaal wilkes might have the longest arms in the game, for a 6'6 player anyway, and that player model seems to trigger certain layup animations that send him to the free throw line. It helps a lot on close outs as well of course.

- emerald jared cunningham: 6'9 pg with 85 dunk, 90 speed/quickness and posterizer... Thanks for messing up 2k, this fantasy version is amazing. Don't get me wrong he won't be bulldozing everybody like lebron so don't expect another "master cheeser", but as far as running the break this guy is at the top of the list.

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

Jared cunningham is a 68 ovr PG.

But he is 6' 9" with speed and quickness in the 90's and 85 dunk.

Now think about it.

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

Ruby Mutombo... I wasn't impressed by him at first. The fact that he has no close or midrange shot may have made me fear using him, and perhaps clouded my judgement.

But as I used him more and more, he's really managed to impress me with his defense and rebounding. I played him against the biggest and most expensive centers out there. He did great against every match up. I can also switch Pick & Rolls with him if I have to. He's too fast and can guard most perimeter players!

I also badged him up with Hustle Points, Brick Wall and Bruiser. I know I won't look for another Center till 2k16. Not bad for a 5k MT purchase...

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

I love playing with Caron Butler. He's a great shooter amd pretty athletic. I need to sell the one I have, because I accidentally put stupid badges on him.

Schröder is sick too.

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

Finally bought mark aguirre a couple days ago, i wanted him on my team since the start but he's one of those silvers that remains expensive for whatever reason (rarity i guess).

Anyway, he's a lot of fun to use in challenges, 6'6 with 90 post control and off consistency, decent midrange and he moves faster/quicker than expected (only 68-70 speed/quickness). Around 25 points in each of his first two games, probably won't work in rttp though but i'll give him a shot. The lack of badges is a little disappointing though.

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

Onyx AK47. I've never seen somebody use him, but he's really great. Locks down anyone 1-4, 6'9" with super long arms, can hit open 3s with ease, catches tons of lobs.

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

Michael Kidd Gilchrist!

77 OVR that plays amazing defense. And you know when someone has it going on D, they will usually find some driving lanes as well. Highly recommend this guy for squads that utilize silvers. He'll intercept 2+ passes and cause a lot of misses

Re: Players Who Exceed Expectations

Ruby Larry Nance was supposed to be a short-term buy until I got more MT. I saw a highly rated ruby (92 OVR I believe) for a reasonable price + favorable reviews so I bought him. Now I can't get this guy out of my lineup! I rarely see others using him... maybe he's just good for my play style or something... but this guy is solid going against stretch 4s because no stretch 4 can stop his drive to the hoop (not even lebron) and he's too fast for big 4s to cover his drive... in short, he's a beast.

Now think about it.

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Jared Cunningham is 6'4", not 6'9"

You might be thinking of Shaun Livingston
