Pacers are going to end up being one hell of a squad when the season ends due to the timing of key injuries, but the other players are stepping up. I might jump back into PNO again the season is over. Really miss having TJ Warren.

Pacers and Raptors are on a collision course for the 10th seed. There is a chance the final game/day of the regular season could determine the 10th seed/final play in spot.

Gotta run to work - my initial observation w/o even scrolling is Tyrese Maxey has a higher OVR than Seth Curry, tied with George Hill. Yet we can easily see from Maxey's Gamelog that he's only playing in garbage time right now.

2K continues to not understand what it's OVR actually does in the game. The ratings are more or less on auto-pilot and yet the pilot isn't giving the bare minimum needed to land the plane. Ya'll invented the Intangibles attribute exactly for this purpose. Take your 5 seconds and shift so the depth charts work correctly.

Worth noting in regards to today's update. There seems to be an Overall Rating difference on both Current & Next Gen vs 2K's official list.

Ricky Rubio is a 77 OVR but in the notes, it says he is a 78 OVR

Immanuel Quickley is a 79 OVR but in the notes, it says he is an 80 OVR.

Trent Forrest: is a 67 OVR but in the notes it says he is a 69 OVR (+2)


2K either had a clerical error or the players above were intended for an update but were missed in the editing phase

I thought Kever Porter Jr. would have had a higher increase. He increased from a 75 OVR to a 77 OVR. He's averaging 16.6 points, 6.3 assists, and is 31% from 3 this season. In the 5 games he played since the previous ratings update he averaged 21.2 points, 6.6 assists, and 38% from 3 including a huge 50 point game. I would think he'd be hovering around the 79/80 OVR area.

Porter's percentages (42/31/73) are not great. Raw numbers don't really matter anymore in today's league, everyone averages gaudy numbers w/ enough touches. His efficiency (or lack thereof) matters more. As you said, he is shooting 31% from 3pt but that is NOT a good rate.

The 77 is relatively fine, I'm sure the problem isn't his attributes but rather his badges. He likely needs more scoring badges to account for how much he does it off the dribble.

12.6 PER
53 TS% on 26 USG%
32 AST% on 1.80 ATR (this is his best attribute, and the 2K formula likely doesn't account enough)
2 ORB% / 11 DRB%
1.1 STL% / 0.9 BLK%

I would agree he should have a higher OVR than Tyrese Maxey, who I briefly touched on above (2K again not understanding how to utilize Intangibles in their roster). I'd consider him in the bottom 10 of starting SG, somewhere in like the Josh Richardson / Donte DiVincenzo range.

Wooosh off to work
