NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top Rated Small Forwards (UPDATED)

Re: NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top Rated Small Forwards (UPDATED)

I love Giannis, but jeez lol. Melo is still an elite scorer. Giannis isn't elite at anything yet.

You could argue that he is an elite defender but that can't be proven as easily as scoring ability. Still, Carmelo is a superior player he may take a hit production wise depending on how his knee heals up.

I think the tier below LeBron, Kevin and to a lesser extent Carmelo should be more closely bunched together. Kawhi, Gordon, Rudy, Paul, et cetera should be placed closer together in the next tier below the elite players, IMHO

So far, I think a majority of the Spurs are a little overrated individually (Kawhi, Timmy, Manu & Tony) while Danny Green got shafted because he has what is considered a "more limited" skillset.

Re: NBA 2K16 Player Ratings - Top 10 Small Forwards

Melo seems to be a bit overrated, as I'd have him around 85-86, but still a good list.

I'd close the gap between Kawhi, PG, Hayward, and Gay, though. Can't be too picky.

Here you go lol and no gap should be closed with players like Rudy Gay involved.

Surprised LeBron isn't rated higher if the overall is supposed to be rated against the entire history of the game.

LeBron is probably already Top 5 at his position.

But the fact he's only a 94 makes me even more confident in 2K's ratings. It's also great because it means more delusional posters get to argue over something so insignificant as a player rating. Those are always the best posts.

The Jazz is not a bad team. I think it's time to understand, accept that.
I think small forward ratings are great.
For Parsons vs Hayward comparison, I think last year it became clear that Hayward is a better player and he showed he could handle a much tougher role.
Hayward's a better passer, better ball handler and a better shooter off dribble.
Parsons is a slightly better defender and a better spot up shooter as well as being a better rebounder.

He averaged almost 20 points last season while shooting 45% and 35% from 3. He's one of the most well-rounded players in the league and does everything really pretty well. He also had a PER of 20.2.

Just curious, where would you put Rudy Gay, Andrew Wiggins, Giannis Antetokounmpo, or DeMarre Carroll if you're going to drop him?

Don't put your cape on for him as he's gonna show the league himself.

Then should Cousins be a 85 because he's not on a playoff team?

Just because he put up numbers (efficient ones, at that) on a non-playoff team doesn't mean that he's below a tier as Rudy Gay, who did the exact same thing except with a worse squad.

You have a great point. I guess I'm just a little bit biased, as Parsons is one of my fave players, and even as a Utah resident I'm not a huge Jazz fan. Maybe he is better than Parsons, but I feel as if he is still slightly over-rated. IMO, Giannis and Gay are better than him. But again, it's a very close toss-up with all of those. I feel like there are the incredibly talented SFs (LBJ, KD, Melo), and then the great ones are all in the same league as each other. I guess we can't blame 2k for having their opinions about which players are better.

Current Lebron isn't as good as he was in 09' 10' 12' or 13'. He lacks the same athleticism as his earlier years, but wasn't nearly as effienct or as good a defensive amplayer as he was in his two championships years. So I think a 94 is good for him. I think 96 would be a good rating for 13 Lebron

Either Durant must rise or Harden must fall.
Doesn't sound right saying Harden is better than Durant. Neither is Curry. Only player better than KD is LeBron imo.

Ariza lower than Giannis, Demarre Carroll, Wiggins and Gay? Come on now, the guy has great defensive skills, dead eye 3pt shooter, solid slasher and finisher and just solid all around.

Durant is 91 because of an injury hit. He'll be adjusted quickly if he returns to form. This is actually welcome to see.

I'm not buying what they selling with that. As I mentioned a few times, why would Durant be the only one to receive this injury hit? What about Melo and Matthews who are both coming off of injuries of similar or greater severity? Melo took no ratings hit compared to last season and Matthews in fact, is rated higher (81 vs 78 in 2K15) which is just generally odd.

Because there seems to be a rule that you can drop a star but not beyond 88 in one year and not beyond 84 in two regardless of how terrible they've played. Heh.

Matthews is 81? I thought he was a 78-79.

He wasn't that good last year compared to the year before with Wash

KD foot injury worse than Melos , had work on it twice . Melo was still producing while playing hurt so this is about the rating he should be at honesty.

Kobe took a hit as well
