another example is thabo sefoloshas open 3 rating. He shot 38% last season yet gets a 73 rating. compare that with jrue holiday, who shot 33% and gets a 78 rating.

so many ratings are a mess...
I agree, there are many mistakes, like Middleton 77 stamina...but there are hundreds like this. Rashidi is well aware for sure eheh. Sterling Brown subpar 65 vertical rating... But most of these are kept year by year, just like the big part of the job is inserting the % in an excel file and update the ratings accordingly.

But with the rookies, all the athletic skills ratings are way out of the scale compared to the actual NBA players, like different people made them, and this has an even bigger impact on the simulation.
I mean, with dozens of draft class makers that take care to read the various scouting reports and take no money for this, is that complicated to have the same thing done by well paid people? smh

You can tell that westbrook is so athletic because of handle and other skills...but if you want to posterize someone from the FT line like he does, he needs that 90+ vertical rating, while with 36.5 he'll probably be in the mid 70s... this theory won't work at all in NBA 2k.
