It's impossible to accurately guage how a player will perform in the NBA. It's the reason busts exist lol such as hakeem thabeet, kwame brown, darko etc. Based off of his overseas play, skills and "abilities he displayed every scout thought Darko was going to be incredible, if you look at scouting reports from that time some even thought he should be picked ahead of lebron lol. But we all know how that turned out. Was just providing evidence as to why a subjective view of "abilities" from a scout or someone else would be a terrible mistake.

I understand where your coming from but I just personally think that if 2k paired up with a NBA scouting agency or the local Warriors NBA scouts and translate grades they have on NBA players and prospects to the 2k rating scales they would have a much better system then what they do now, not trying to throw any disrepect towards what Mike Stauffer does.
