Definitely expect them to lose in the first round, but they will be a tough out.

The Pacers organization is probably the most underrated one in the league. Last pick inside the top 10 was 1989 and they've been to the conference finals 8 times since. They just refuse to tank and I respect that.

We can finally stop hearing about the Siakam 42 speed with ball and speed rating. Both were addressed. 67 and 80 respectively now.

2k logic: Brandon Ingram has imporved every state line there is since lebron injured. pts, fg%, ft%, ast and rebs... lets give him a drop

The only meaningful stat that went UP for Ingram in LeBron's absence was MINUTES per game
(31 MPG from Oct-Dec / 36 MPG since)
His Usage rate actually didn't even move w/ LeBron out, which is quite telling (and damning).

Brandon Ingram 2019 (47 gms, 34 MPG)
12.6 PER
54 TS% on 23 USG%
13 AST% on 1.28 ATR
3 ORB% / 13 DRB%
0.8 STL% / 1.4 BLK%
-2.44 RPM (-1.68 ORPM / -0.76 DRPM) - WOOF

Shooting
Rim: 143-275 (68%)
Close: 104-252 (41%)
Mid: 40-94 (43%)
3pt: 22-80 (28%) - BARF
FT: 170-255 (67%) - For a SG????

Ingram has hit as many threes this year as Rajon Rondo (22)...... in TWICE AS MANY GAMES (47 to 24). Folks complaining about his rating are proof that ppl on OS will complain about literally anything. He's essentially the first wing in NBA history that LeBron didn't make a better shooter.

The reality is he's not very good. He's average in a few areas and below average in others. There's a reason the Pelicans are holding out for Tatum.

But what about Ball and the other let it other players. They held out because they didn't want to be controlled lol. Now everyone is ****ed up. Dell is out of a job. The Pels have this awkwardness that can be cut with a knife lol. Tatum hasn't been playing as good as he was last year. So I don't see the reason for waiting

Re: NBA 2K19 Roster Update Details (2-21)

Analysis of NBA 2K19 Top 10 Players by position

*Denotes Incorrect Positions in NBA 2K19

POINT GUARDS
96 Stephen Curry: 25.9 PER, 66 TS%, 30 USG%, 24 AST%
93 Kyrie Irving: 24.9 PER, 60 TS%, 30 USG%, 35 AST%
91 Damian Lillard: 23.7 PER, 59 TS%, 30 USG%, 29 AST%
91 Russell Westbrook: 20.6 PER, 48 TS%, 31 USG%, 47 AST%
89 John Wall: 18.1 PER, 53 TS%, 29 USG%, 39 AST%
88 Kemba Walker: 21.5 PER, 56 TS%, 31 USG%, 28 AST%
88 Ben Simmons: 20.1 PER, 58 TS%, 22 USG%, 35 AST%
86 D'Angelo Russell: 18.8 PER, 53 TS%, 31 USG%, 39 AST%
86 Chris Paul: 19.4 PER, 56 TS%, 22 USG%, 39 AST%
85 Mike Conley: 20.4 PER, 55 TS%, 27 USG%, 34 AST%

Westbrook lead the league w/ 30 PER just two years ago.... he's fallen off a cliff at age 30.

Wall hasn't been All-Star caliber in two years, even though he got the nod last season... reason the Wizards struggled even when he was healthy. He won't be same physically when he comes back a year from now....

No wonder Mike Conley wants to go to the Eastern Conference, where Kyle Lowry (16.9 PER) just made his 5th consecutive All-Star team....

SHOOTING GUARDS
88 Klay Thompson: 16.7 PER, 57 TS%, 26 USG%, 10 AST%
87 Bradley Beal: 19.8 PER, 58 TS%, 28 USG%, 23 AST%
87 Victor Oladipo: 17.8 PER, 52 TS%, 28 USG%, 25 AST%
87 Donovan Mitchell: 15.9 PER, 52 TS%, 32 USG%, 21 AST%
86 Devin Booker: 18.6 PER, 57 TS%, 32 USG%, 34 AST%
85 Jrue Holiday: 19.5 PER, 55 TS%, 25 USG%, 32 AST%
85 C.J. McCollum: 16.8 PER, 55 TS%, 26 USG%, 13 AST%
84 Zach LaVine: 18.3 PER, 57 TS%, 30 USG%, 23 AST%
83 Malcolm Brogdon: 17.7 PER, 61 TS%, 21 USG%, 16 AST%
83 Buddy Hield: 17.5 PER, 60 TS%, 25 USG%, 11 AST%

Harden is listed at SF (Eric Gordon has started at SG all year, and continues to start w/ CP3 back), which is why he's not here.

Klay Thompson is overrated. More on this later.

Beal, Booker, and Holiday are the best SGs in basketball (non-Harden) by a fair margin. Oladipo is in the same group when healthy (shooting was down this year).

Donovan Mitchell was a bit of fools' gold and I'd take the sharpshooters like Brogdon/Hield over him.... his long-term position is likely PG, due to his size, need for the ball, and poor off-ball shooting.

SMALL FORWARDS
98 LeBron James: 25.6 PER, 60 TS%, 31 USG%, 36 AST%
97 James Harden*: 30.5 PER, 62 TS%, 40 USG%, 40 AST%
96 Kevin Durant: 25.1 PER, 63 TS%, 30 USG%, 26 AST%
95 Kawhi Leonard: 26.1 PER, 61 TS%, 30 USG%, 16 AST%
94 Paul George: 24.9 PER, 60 TS%, 30 USG%, 18 AST%
88 Jimmy Butler*: 21.4 PER, 59 TS%, 22 USG%, 18 AST%
87 Luka Doncic: 19.2 PER, 55 TS%, 29 USG%, 29 AST%
86 DeMar DeRozan*: 18.6 PER, 52 TS%, 29 USG%, 27 AST%
85 Jayson Tatum: 16.2 PER, 56 TS%, 23 USG%, 9 AST%
83 Danilo Gallinari: 19.7 PER, 63 TS%, 23 USG%, 12 AST%

Harden leads league in PER and has the highest USG% in NBA history. He has the best TS% by far of any player that has exceeded 35 USG% (multiple Michael Jordan seasons, Kobe, Iverson, Westbrook, Wade).

Career year for Paul George.... he's reason OKC is winning despite Westbrook's train wreck season... basically on par w/ what Kawhi's been doing last couple years but good that PG13 is fully back from injury and finally realizing the potential he was pegged with a decade ago.

Look no further than Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, and Danilo Gallinari for a quick synopsis of how overrated Klay Thompson really is (in video games and life)...

POWER FORWARDS
95 Giannis Antetokounmpo*: 30.3 PER, 64 TS%, 30 USG%, 32 AST%
88 Kristaps Porzingis (2018): 20.4 PER, 54 TS%, 31 USG%, 6 AST%
87 Blake Griffin: 21.7 PER, 60 TS%, 30 USG%, 27 AST%
86 Tobias Harris: 18.6 PER, 61 TS%, 23 USG%, 13 AST%
85 Julius Randle: 21.7 PER, 61 TS%, 27 USG%, 15 AST%
85 Pascal Siakam: 18.6 PER, 63 TS%, 20 USG%, 13 AST%
85 Kevin Love (7 games): 15.5 PER, 50 TS%, 31 USG%, 15 AST%
84 John Collins: 21.4 PER, 64 TS%, 24 USG%, 12 AST%
84 Kyle Kuzma: 15.0 PER, 56 TS%, 24 USG%, 11 AST%
84 Draymond Green: 13.2 PER, 51 TS%, 13 USG%, 29 AST%

Of course Giannis drops a bunch of points if you actually make him a PF
Kuzma's rating is a bonafide joke compared to John Collins.

CENTERS
95 Anthony Davis: 30.5 PER, 60 TS%, 30 USG%, 19 AST%
93 Nikola Jokic: 27.0 PER, 59 TS%, 28 USG%, 38 AST%
92 Joel Embiid: 25.5 PER, 59 TS%, 33 USG%, 18 AST%
90 Karl-Anthony Towns: 25.6 PER, 62 TS%, 27 USG%, 16 AST%
89 Rudy Gobert: 24.5 PER, 68 TS%, 17 USG%, 11 AST%
88 DeMarcus Cousins: 19.4 PER, 54 TS%, 28 USG%, 22 AST%
87 Nikola Vucevic: 25.6 PER, 58 TS%, 28 USG%, 23 AST%
87 LaMarcus Aldridge*: 22.6 PER, 57 TS%, 27 USG%, 13 AST%
86 Clint Capela: 24.1 PER, 64 TS%, 19 USG%, 7 AST%
86 Andre Drummond: 22.4 PER, 54 TS%, 24 USG%, 6 AST%

Gobert leads the league in TS%.... it's ridiculous he was left off the All-Star team while Klay Thompson went again for the glorified 3/D role he's not even that good at...

Cousins has played about as well as expected since returning from torn Achilles but it's time to drop his rating.... players like Vucevic are outperforming what Cousins was doing when healthy.

Re: NBA 2K19 Roster Update Details (2-21)

But what about Ball and the other players.

The Celtics can be STINGY and make a better offer than any Lakers package. The Lakers aren't offering anyone who projects as a long-term starter on a quality playoff team. Ball/Ingram/Kuzma all have significant warts.

Tatum is 20 years old, lead a team in the Conference Finals as a rookie, and is the prototype for everything you want from a modern SF. He may not be a franchise player but he's a safe bet for the Klay Thompson tier over the next decade. The Pelicans have literally been starting 6'4" E'Twaun Moore at SF the last few years so a young player without question marks (except how good he'll be) is exactly what they're looking for.

They held out because they didn't want to be controlled lol. Now everyone is ****ed up. Dell is out of a job. The Pels have this awkwardness that can be cut with a knife lol.

The only reason it's "awkward" is because the Celtics weren't allowed to acquire Davis via trade due to Kyrie's franchise tag (whom they acquired via trade). Unintended consequence from the new CBA.

Tatum hasn't been playing as good as he was last year. So I don't see the reason for waiting

This isn't actually true.

Jayson Tatum 2019 (59 gms, 31 MPG, Age 20)
16.2 PER (+0.9 from last year)
56 TS% on 23 USG%
9 AST% on 1.27 ATR
3 ORB% / 18 DRB%
2.0 STL% / 2.4 BLK%
1.04 RPM (0.23 ORPM / 0.81 DRPM)

Shooting
Rim: 137-196 (70%)
Close: 81-210 (39%)
Mid: 48-139 (35%)
3pt: 93-245 (38%) - Notably, not 22 3PM on 28%
FT: 162-188 (86%)

The most important take away from this is Tatum blows Ingram out of the water. He is by far a better prospect than anyone the Lakers can offer. The Celtics can also offer more and better draft picks.

His biggest "weakness" is Kobe got in his ear over the summer which lead to poor Mid-range shooting numbers early in the year (that he since reined in).

Oh, that and he doesn't draw much contact, which is fine because he's hit as many FTs as Ingram in 70 fewer attempts because that's how trash Ingram is by comparison.
