Re: NBA 2K16 Screenshots & Ratings - Day Four: Wall, Ross & More as They Arrive
This doesn't make much sense. Injuries should depress ratings until the player gets in game shape, not give "benefit of the doubt" rating bonuses. We all knew Rose wasn't an 88 last season and he never came close to it. And Kobe isn't an 85 and hasn't played like one for any stretch in two seasons.
He's an 80-81 based on an objective analysis of his actual performance last year. And that's kind of being generous. There are very few players that one could conscionably give an 80 rating to with his statistical performance. If you gave every one of his shots to Jeremy Lin or Nick Young, they could likely have equaled his scoring production and efficiency. I mean 37%. Really?
49% TS is ABYSMAL (and only on low volume 14.6 ppg). That is several points below league average. Everyone's favorite high volume chucker in Westbrook still shoots 52% (which is around league average). 49% TS means terrible shot taking and/or that some of those shots should be distributed to pretty much any other NBA servicable average-efficiency player.
To get an idea of how TERRIBLE 49% TS is, which is during Kobe's "good games", let's look at GSW's roster. To find someone who shoots around 49.1% TS, I have to go all the way down to Justin Holliday, the Warriors' 13th man, who still beats Kobe with a 49.8%.
Now if we look a little further, there is Brandon Rush at .204. But his career is likely over. That's it. There is no one else that shoots as poorly as Kobe on that roster.
That doesn't scream 85 to me.
