Rashidi's Real 2K Insider [02-03-10]

It has been quite a while since my last update, and there is a lot to cover in this update. Amidst all the changes, All-Star teams were announced, and my ratings match up EXTREMELY WELL compared to 2K's.

ALL-STAR SELECTIONS

EAST ALL-STARS
C Dwight Howard (88)
PF Kevin Garnett (84) - Bosh a better player, but KG's still an all-star.
SF LeBron James (95)
SG Allen Iverson (76) - Obviously not worthy, but voted in by fans
PG Dwyane Wade (94)
BENCH
PF Chris Bosh (87)
PG Rajon Rondo (86)
SG Joe Johnson (85)
SF Gerald Wallace (83) - Has put the Bobcats on top.
SF Paul Pierce (82)
PG Derrick Rose (80) - 2nd best PG in the east, while Billups/Parker snubbed in west.
C Al Horford (80) - Numbers aside, much better defensively than David Lee.

SNUBS
PF Josh Smith (83) - Should have made the team over Pierce.
SF Andre Iguodala (81) - Simply not better than Wallace or the snubbed Smith.
PG Gilbert Arenas (81) - His legal issues made Derrick Rose a shoo-in.
C David Lee (80)
SF Danny Granger (80)

Aside from Josh Smith not making it I have no complaints about the east selections. Sure, Iverson was voted in by the fans, but the east is incredibly thin at guard anyway. His selection likely robbed Smith, but it's not like the fans were going to vote Joe Johnson in. Instead, it's the fault of the pre-season selection committee that placed Iverson on the ballot instead of Zach Randolph. It was a tough call and they went with the established player.

WEST ALL-STARS
C Amare Stoudemire (81) - Why was he on the center ballot again?
PF Tim Duncan (91)
SF Carmelo Anthony (87)
SG Kobe Bryant (93)
PG Steve Nash (82) - Hope CP3/D-Will get more votes before this turns Iverson...
BENCH
PG Chris Paul (94) (INJURED)
PG Deron Williams (88)
SG Brandon Roy (87)
C Pau Gasol (86) - Significantly better than Chris "cry moar" Kaman
SF Kevin Durant (86) - The first of many selections to come.
PF Dirk Nowitzki (83)
PF Zach Randolph (78) - Receiving a lot of credit for Memphis' turnaround.
PG Chauncey Billups (80) - Injury replacement for Chris Paul

SNUBS
C Yao Ming (85) (INJURED)
PF Carlos Boozer (83) - A beter player than Randolph, but worse numbers.
PG Tony Parker (82) - Dealing with injuries, was another candidate to replace CP3.
SG Manu Ginobili (81) - Doesn't play enough minutes for consideration.
C Greg Oden (81) (INJURED)
SG Monta Ellis (80) - Putting up numbers, but in heavy minutes padded by Nellie-ball.
PG Russell Westbrook (80)
C Al Jefferson (80)
C Emeka Okafor (80)

The west selections are spot on, as the only argument one could make would be Randolph/Boozer (or Billups/Parker as injury replacment). Sorry Chris Kaman fans, but 20/9 isn't all-star production when you're getting more touches than Tim Duncan and your team is 11th in the conference.

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

PLAYER MOVEMENT

Coby Karl signed a 10-Day contract with the Warriors and replaced Cartier Martin on the roster.

Bobby Brown was traded by the Hornets to the Clippers for a 2nd round pick. He takes the roster spot of D-Leaguer JamesOn Curry.

D-Leaguer Cedric Jackson was signed to a couple 10-Day contracts as the Cavs suffered a slew of injuries at the PG position.

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

INJURY REPORT

Chris Paul will miss 4-6 weeks following knee surgery. Aside from the playoff ramifications (little hope New Orleans can hold on without him), this would appear to cost CP3 another spot on the All-NBA First Team (possibly even the Second Team).

Mo Williams will miss 4-6 weeks with a shoulder sprain. Delonte West should have benefitted from this but broke a finger in his first start.

Ben Gordon returned from injury but is only getting about 18 minutes off the bench right now. So far this season he is only averaging 16 points and shooting 42% when he does play. It's been a nightmare season for both Ben and Detroit.

Mario Chalmers tore a ligament in his thumb and is out indefinitely. Chalmers essentially went from starter to 3rd string as the team picked up veterans Carlos Arroyo and Rafer Alston.

Sebastian Telfair is out for 4-6 weeks with a strained groin. His injury led the team to replace him with career 3rd stringer Bobby Brown.

Francisco Elson will miss 6 weeks after surgery to repair a sports hernia. Elson has only played 11 games this season, and at 33 years old, we might as well write his career epitaph now. He had 6 serviceable seasons as a backup center and was the league's oldest rookie (27) back in 2004.

As you have surely heard by now, Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton are officially suspended for the remainder of the season. Crittenton will likely need to head to the D-League (or even Europe) to resurrect his career.

The following players are targeting returns after the All-Star break: Marquis Daniels, Leon Powe, Joakim Noah, Kyle Lowry, and Reggie Evans.

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

ROTATION UPDATES

Darren Collison is starting at PG in New Orleans following CP3's injury. He is capable of posting gaudy assist totals in the Hornets offense. Who knows, if impresses the Hornets might privately open up to trading CP3 in the future.

Daniel Gibson has gone from 3rd string to starting PG in Cleveland. Gibson is still nothing more than a 3pt gunner but that's all he needs to be next to LeBron James.

Jrue Holliday and Elton Brand are starting in Philadelphia, while Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young are coming off the bench.

Finally, there is a God. In a move I've been clamoring for since last season, Nate Robinson is finally the starting PG of the New York Knicks. Nate replaces the offensively inept Chris Duhon, only one month after a return from month-long benching. Larry Hughes also returned to the Knick lineup and will take even more of Duhon's minutes.

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

BIGGEST MOVERS

Kobe Bryant played very poorly in January, and his .544 TS% is tied with 1997 and 2002 as the worst of his career. While he worked on his post and mid-range game over the summer, this has only served to mask the decline in his ability to finish at the basket.

Brandon Jennnings had a hot start to his rookie season, shooting 42% from the field (49% from 3pt range) in November. The league has adjusted since then, and Jennings only shot shooting 37% and 32% from the field in December and January respectively.

Allen Iverson is averaging only 15/3/4 in a Sixer uniform, which is closer to "solid" than "star" production. The bigger issue is Iverson's steals have completely vanished! He is averaging only 0.7 steals compared to his 2.2 career average. When A.I. isn't playing the passing lanes and getting steals, he's not offering much in the way in defense.

Jarrett Jack unexpectedly took Jose Calderon's job in Toronto and the team has not looked back. Jack only shot 43% from the field in November but shot 50% and 54% in December and January respectively.

Nazr Mohammed has been everything that Tyson Chandler was supposed to be, which is why the Bobcats have thrived since Chandler's injury. Mohammed sports a 21.5 PER compared to Chandler's 9.7 PER.

Goran Dragic has played much better as a sophomore than he did as a rookie, and his game has become very similar to fellow Slovenian PG Beno Udrih.

Sonny Weems has shown himself to be a decent role player, and far better than the 56 rating 2K has him listed at.

can you post devin browns ratings thanks.

Anonymous said...

any chance of a boost to the Hornets Marcus Thornton in the next update?

Anonymous said...

so are all stars rosters updated too?

Anonymous said...

I've decided that the 2k Insider is indeed retarded. Derrick Rose is now rated an 84, but not because of an improved mid range game (which they have rated at an insulting 82), but because of a +21 in the steal category. WTF. Derrick Rose does not play aggressive on ball defense. No way he deserves a +21 in steal, just to bump up his rating.

Either way, hopefully you upgraded his mid range game to something more respectable.

Rashidi said...

Rose's close/mid are better than every PG not named Paul, Williams, or Nash (and Ridnour, who doesn't suck this year).

Inside/Close/Med/3pt

Rose: 82/86/82/56
Rondo: 93/78/68/52
Parker: 93/75/78/68
Davis: 82/68/69/72
Arenas: 75/81/81/81
Billups: 77/66/75/84
Westbrook: 73/74/72/63
Evans: 82/61/78/59
Harris: 75/75/67/55

From this list....
80+ Inside: 5
80+ Close: 2 (Rose/Arenas)
80+ Med: 2 (Rose/Arenas)
80+ 3pt: 2 (Billups/Arenas)

Rashidi said...

Thornton might get an update next week but I'm not expecting a big change. He's a fairly one-dimensional player, and his role doesn't change much going from reserve to starter. If anything the one thing that might change is his assists go up because the Hornets have no backup PG.

Rashidi said...

I haven't given much thought to making the all-star teams. I suppose I could via created teams. I won't make a decision on that until all-star rosters are finalized though, since injury replacements can still happen between now and then (Melo and Pierce are currently hobbled).

thanks nice work keep it up!

Swank Lax said...

No edit to Derozan?

Rashidi said...

DeRozan was edited - there was no reason to substantially raise him. Poor shooters will not have high ratings at SG - for reference see Thunder starter Thabo Sefolosha.

Anonymous said...

great work rashidi. just one question though, have you edited tendency for most players? or just stars? you do a great job though keep it up.

Jay said...

Can I get Nick Young and Dominic McGuire statas?

Rashidi said...

I edit tendencies when its called for, I don't bother adjusting guys if it's only off by a couple points as theres fluctuation throughout the NBA season.

Anonymous said...

ok thanks, reason i'm asking is because im tired of waiting to start my association, and i basically want an accurately rated roster with tendencies modified if need be, on "rotation guys" based on the current season to date..but thanks 4 the roster i otherwise wouldnt play this game.

Rashidi said...

Young and McGuire haven't been edited yet.

Anonymous said...

Can you post Donte Greene and Omri Casspi's rating? Thanks

Anonymous said...

hi Rashidi, Do not you think that Sergio Rodriguez is a little better than 63? thanks

...thanks as always

Chris Richard is in my next update.

Tendencies are not 100% complete. The fortunate thing is most of these really only need to be changed once. The bulk of my work is readjusting 100 player ratings week to week.

Hallo, Rashidi, I follow your blog for a while now. You seem to be giving all your heart into it! I had NBA 2K10 ,but after some time I was so pissed of with how easy you can score in the paint and the gameplay on the whole. So I brought it back to shop for cash. Maybe I did wrong I dont know. I have NBA 2K8 which I really enjoy. Now, I am starting to create rookies and updating all ratings for the other players. It takes so much time and effort. The question is if I can update your player rosters of NBA 2K10 to NBA 2K8? thank you very much.

Kobe played so poorly in January because he has a broken index finger on his shooting hand. I thought this was common knowledge but I guess not. When he comes back healthy, I hope his ratings will be boosted back up.

Kobe also shot 34% from 3pt range in January, compared to 29% and 30% in November and December respectively. Kobe is not having his best season, with or without the injury.

Kobe is 31 years old and not in his prime anymore. A finger injury doesn't have anything to do with his decline in athleticism.
