Rashidi vs 2K: Top 30 PGs

Top 30 PGs: Rashidi vs 2K

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last month it was top 20, and there have obviously been revisions since then (Jennings, for instance). I've edited 52 of the 86 active PGs so far. As far as other positions go I am very close to doing a top 20 PFs and top 30 Cs.

So without much further ado, here are 2K's top 30 PGs. My PGs are listed below, with the difference in parenthasize. Major differences will be in bold.

For those wondering at home, Blake and Fisher don't crack my top 30 (as they are among the worst starting points in the league). I have them at 70 and 67 respectively. 2K has the audacity to rate a walking corpse like Fisher over actual difference makers like Lou and Bynum.

Couple quick explanations....

I have Kirk Hinrich listed at SG (where he has mostly played since Rose came to town, and especialy now that Gordon was replaced by Pargo). 2K has him at 78 while I have him at 76. Switching him to SG causes his overall to jump 2 points, so 2K would have him at 80 (tied w/ Rose for team lead) and I have him at 78.

Arenas is shooting 39% from the field and steals/rebounds are down. 2K hasn't changed Arenas' rating since his injury two years ago, so a 2 point drop should have been expected.

Davis is also shooting 39%, but he also plays solid defense which has kept his rating up.

Jennings is clearly better than a guy like Mo Williams or Aaron Brooks, and he's only 20 years old. He's pretty clearly better than Derrick Rose who 2K has at an 80. Jennings is looking like a sleeper for the all-star team given how weak the east PGs are.

I'd love to raise Nash but the dude has 1 steal in 12 games. 1 steal in 397 minutes. That just drags him down so much.

Don't ask me why 2K has Kidd rated like it's 2007. Remember last year when they had him rated higher than Dirk?

Would someone mind letting 2K know that Bibby is the 4th best Hawk, not 2nd?

For those keeping track at home, yeah, 2K really does have Nate Robinson only two points below Nash and a point ahead of Mo Williams.

Will Bynum averaged 18.4 pts and 7.0 ast per 36 mins last season, which is why the Pistons didnt miss Iverson one bit when he faked his injury. He's averaging 18.9 and 5.5 per 36 this year, proving that was no fluke.

Lou Williams worse than Chris Duhon, really?
