2k has their faith in Donovan Mitchell tonight

[VAWereWolf65]

Looks like they released a roster update just to give him higher dunk attributes

He used to have a 35 standing dunk, 50 driving dunk, and 35 contact dunk

He now has a 50 standing dunk, 97 driving dunk (!!!) and 70 contact dunk

Hopefully they update his dunk packages next year because right now he just has the basic packages along with a couple tomahawks

[LO6IX]

Did other players get updates or just Donovan Mitchell?

He petitioned that 2k increase his dunk rating lol. A 97 driving dunk though ?

They always give 90+ dunk ratings to contest participants over All-Star weekend.

Obviously Mitchell deserved higher ratings based on his regular season performance (28 Dunks, 3.6 FGA%).

He definitely ain't no Jason Richardson though, this is just silly.

2K Dunk Ratings have been a joke for a number of years (basically since I took up the mantle)

Shooting Guard Dunks - Driving Dunk / Contact Dunk
47 - Victor Oladipo (4.7%) = 85/35
40 - Bradley (Beal (4.2%) = 75/30
37 - Jaylen Brown (6.8%) = 85/65
37 - Jimmy Butler (4.5%) = 80/40
36 - Gary Harris (5.1%) = 50/35
28 - Donovan Mitchell (3.6%) = 97/70
21 - Jrue Holiday (2.1%) = 40/26
20 - Andre Roberson (13.6%) = 77/35
18 - DeMar DeRozan (1.8%) = 90/55
17 - Kent Bazemore (3.1%) = 80/45
14 - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (2.6%) = 73/35
13 - Avery Bradley (2.6%) = 50/30
13 - James Harden (1.3%) = 84/60
11 - Malcolm Brogdon (2.2%) = 75/65
10 - Zach LaVine (5.8%) = 97/35
9 - Nicolas Batum (1.9%) = 75/45
9 - Devin Booker (1.2%) = 50/35
8 - Klay Thompson (0.8%) = 65/35
7 - Evan Fournier (1.0%) = 55/30
7 - C.J. McCollum (0.7%) = 40/30

6 - Buddy Hield (1.0%) = 30/26
4 - Courtney Lee (0.8%) = 69/35
3 - Dion Waiters (0.7%) = 76/45
3 - Allen Crabbe (0.5%) = 45/35

1 - Reggie Bullock (0.3%) = 50/40
0 - Wesley Matthews (0%) = 70/45
0 - J.J. Redick (0%) = 25/25

Mitchell now has better dunk ratings than Zach LaVine FYI

2K15 Rating Differences
98 Zach Lavine (+1)
85 J.R. Smith (+15)
76 James Harden (-8)
75 Jimmy Butler (-5)
62 Klay Thompson (-3)

Five players in four years, LOL way to go

Yea i definitely don’t think he deserves a 97 driving dunk. He’s not quite the same caliber dunker as guys like Lavine and Gordon imo.

Guys like Avery Bradley and Jrue Holiday could use bumps to their dunk ratings tho
