I guess in reality it's not a big deal since ratings are position based, but it's still overrating him as a player despite winning the MVP award.

I agree that Curry at 93 seems high; it seemed high on the last update in 2K15 as well and digging into those ratings, they were very generous with him in certain areas.

I would think the second highest SG would be Klay. Maybe somewhere around 87 or 86. Maybe Jimmy Butler. I expect a larger gap between the #1 and #2 spots at SG with Harden at 91 or 92. I would absolutely have both Leonard and PG higher than Melo, who's also a mediocre efficiency, low defense player. Certainly Leonard. One can argue about downgrading PG for injuries but the same can be said for Melo, especially with Melo's seeming age/usage related.

I respectfully disagree. If AI can get away with shooting 42 percent at times then Westbrook can as well considering he averaged 7 rebounds and 9 assist as well. Since it's an OVR rating I was hoping westbrooks all around game would be respected enough to give him a 90 plus. Not really a big deal to me. I just don't see how he can ever make the 90 club now considering what he did last year. Before that triple dub run he was flirting with triple doubles for many games prior.

As for the melo, PG and Leonard argument again I disagree respectfully. Leonard is a great defender and rebounder but saying he is better than melo is disrespectful Imo. On one knee I believe melo had 24 7 and 3 which would be good for 5th in the league in scoring. PG came back and stunk it up(rusty I know).His drop would be semi warranted. I would take a scorer who can't defend for his life over a defender who can't score for his life any day.(not saying Leonard can't score just an emphasis on defensive players)

I'm sorry but if Memphis called OKC and offered Conley for Westbrook, OKC would laugh and hang up. When comparing players, think about it in those terms and usually you'll get your answer as to who's better. Conley is a solid PG but not better than Russ at all.

Yeah that's not the way it works though.

Conley & Wall > Westbrick

Uber athleticism and a great skillset combined with horrible inefficient play, historically high usage, terrible decision making, lackluster defense and losing games does not = top 3 PG in my book.

Iverson is an overrated inefficient chucker. The last person anyone should want to be compared to is Iverson.

And your love for Melo > Kawhi. Only shows you really love high volume inefficient scorers.

Each to their own I guess.

Yes, that is very, very questionable. Dragic is a higher tier PG than Kemba generally.

He takes tougher shots and, in the offense he is in, shoots more jumpers and shoulders more of a load on the offensive end then Conley had to. I agree that he needs to improve his D and consistency, but he is still one of the most lethal scorers in the game.

Couldn't be more right

U realize how much of a difference is 3 overall points in the same position, Steph is going to be a cheesefest.

how is it possible that he'd be that much better than Westbrook?
