Los Angeles Lakers NBA 2K16 Ratings (9/27/15)



LOS ANGELES LAKERS (9/27/15)
85/SG: Kobe Bryant (Crafty Offensive Star)
80/SG: Lou Williams (Aggressive Scorer)
77/C: Roy Hibbert (Faceup Center)
77/PG: D'Angelo Russell (Offensive-Minded Point)
75/PG: Jordan Clarkson (Offensive-Minded Point)
74/PF: Brandon Bass (Offensive-Minded Four)
74/PF: Julius Randle (Offensive-Minded Four)
73/SF: Nick Young (Two-Way Wing)
70/SF: Metta World Peace (Wing Defender)
69/C: Tarik Black (Raw Rebounding Center)
69/C: Robert Sacre (Two-Way Center)
68/SF: Andrew Brown (Shooter)
67/SG: Jabari Brown (Aggressive Scorer)
66/SF: Ryan Kelly (Scrapper)
66/PF: Larry Nance Jr (Faceup Four)

POINT GUARD (Average Starter = 80)
77/PG: D'Angelo Russell (Rookie)
75/PG: Jordan Clarkson (16.9 PER, 25 MPG)
  • D'Angelo Russell is a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year, and it's a near lock if he can wrest control of the offense from Kobe (healthy or otherwise).
  • Jordan Clarkson was the steal of the 2014 draft, earning a selection to the All-Rookie First Team despite being drafted 46th overall.  He could start next to Russell at SG in a dual-PG lineup.
SHOOTING GUARD (Average Starter = 78)
85/SG: Kobe Bryant (17.6 PER, 35 MPG)
80/SG: Lou Williams (19.9 PER, 25 MPG)
67/SG: Jabari Brown (11.0 PER, 30 MPG)
  • Last season Kobe Bryant's shooting was awful and unacceptable.  Now 37-years old, he needs to accept a smaller role and defer to his younger teammates for the team to have any level of success.  He could start at SF this season, a move that Michael Jordan was also forced to make in his late-30s.
  • Lou Williams was the 2015 Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 15.5 PPG in only 25 MPG off the bench for Toronto.  Sweet Lou will look to replicate that success with the Lakers.  His weaknesses (small size and playmaking) are more than compensated for by the other members of LA's backcourt (For gameplay purposes I would consider Crawford a SG and Williams a PG).
  • Jabari Brown was a big-time scorer in the D-League before injuries lead to a major opportunity with the Lakers last season.  With the team's added back-court depth his scoring skills won't be as necessary, and it's doubtful he makes the team.  He'll need to hold off Michael Frazier and Marcelo Huertas in camp.
SMALL FORWARD (Average Starter = 79)
73/SF: Nick Young (14.2 PER, 24 MPG)
70/SF: Metta World Peace (11.7 PER, 13 MPG)
68/SF: Andrew Brown (Rookie)
66/SF: Ryan Kelly (8.6 PER, 24 MPG)
  • Nick Young had a disappointing season after a career year in 2014.  Swaggy hasn't been able to stay healthy, and has stopped attacking the basket as a result.  He'll be hard-pressed for playing time if Kobe stays healthy.
  • Anthony Brown was an excellent spot-up shooter with Stanford and his 6'11.5" wingspan gives him defensive potential.  He could find playing time given that Crawford and Kobe are below average 3pt shooters.
  • Ryan Kelly is more of a stretch-four who can't rebound than an actual SF.
  • Metta World Peace returns to LA after a two-year exodus playing in New York, Italy, and China.  MWP wasn't very effective in his last NBA stint and is being looked at strictly in a mentorship role (for Julius Randle).  He is one of seven players with a non-guaranteed contract vying for three open roster spots, though it does seem like he'll make the team if none of the others impress.  It's probable that he'd play more PF than SF at this stage of his career.
POWER FORWARD (Average Starter = 80)
74/PF: Brandon Bass (16.3 PER, 24 MPG)
74/PF: Julius Randle (-7.5 PER, 14 MPG)
66/PF: Larry Nance Jr (Rookie)
  • Julius Randle went down for the year in last season's opener.  The Lakers are hopeful he can start, though it's not the end of the world if he needs to be brought along slowly at first.
  • Brandon Bass is effectively replacing Carlos Boozer on the roster.  He has started for a number of years, and his defense/shooting make him a solid insurance policy if Randle can't handle a starting role just yet.
  • Larry Nance Jr is an energetic athlete, though he won't ever be confused with his father.
CENTER (Average Starter = 79)
77/C: Roy Hibbert (15.4 PER, 25 MPG)
69/C: Tarik Black (14.7 PER, 19 MPG)
69/C: Robert Sacre (10.9 PER, 17 MPG)
  • Roy Hibbert played his way out of Indiana over the years.  While the Lakers are desperate for defense and size it's questionable whether Hibbert's mental makeup can handle one of the world's biggest markets, which makes him the biggest X-Factor on the team.
  • Robert Sacre 
  • Tarik Black will try to hold off Robert Upshaw (and to a lesser extent, Jonathan Holmes) in camp for a role as the team's 3rd center... though either player could leap Robert Sacre in the depth chart as well.

Philadelphia 76ers NBA 2K16 Ratings (9/26/15)
















PHILADELPHIA 76ERS (9/26/15)
77/C: Nerlens Noel (Interior Defender)
77/C: Jahlil Okafor (Offensive-Minded Center)
76/C: Joel Embiid (Inside Scorer)
75/PG: Tony Wroten (Penetrating Point)
74/PF: Carl Landry (Offensive-Minded Four)
74/SF: Robert Covington (Skilled Shooter)
73/PG: Isaiah Canaan (Offensive-Minded Point)
71/PG: Kendall Marshall (Reliable Playmaker)
71/SF: Hollis Thompson (Perimeter Threat)
70/SF: JaKarr Sampson (Raw Wing Defender)
69/SF: Jerami Grant (Wing Defender)
69/SG: Nik Stauskas (Skilled Shooter)
69/PG: Pierre Jackson (Shoot-First Point)
68/C: Furkan Aldemir (Rebounding Center)
68/SF: Gerald Wallace (Scrapper)
67/PF: Richuan Homes (Faceup Four)

POINT GUARD (Average Starter = 80)
75 - Tony Wroten (14.9 PER, 30 MPG)
73 - Isaiah Canaan (12.4 PER, 26 MPG)
71 - Kendall Marshall (12.4 PER, 15 MPG)
69 - Pierre Jackson (Rookie)
  • Tony Wroten was effective in 2015 with Michael Carter-Williams sidelined, before tearing his ACL.  He should be the starter out of the gates but his ball-dominant style is better served in a sixth man role.
  • Kendall Marshall is one of the league's best passers, but can't seem to catch a break or stay healthy.  Look for him to take the starting role from Wroten once he is ready and able to do so.
  • Isaiah Canaan isn't much of a playmaker or defensive player, but he is the team's best shooter off the dribble. He's also the only PG on the roster not recovering from a major injury.
  • Pierre Jackson is on the roster bubble.  As a 5'10" scoring PG coming off a ruptured Achilles he has a tough road.  It's been reported that the Sixers will only keep three PGs out of camp, but Wroten (6'6", 205 lbs) is really more of a SG anyway.
SHOOTING GUARD (Average Starter = 78)
71 - Hollis Thompson (10.9 PER, 25 MPG)
69 - Nik Stauskas (7.5 PER, 15 MPG)
  • Nik Stauskas is expected to start, and will have every opportunity to build upon his putrid rookie season with the Kings.  He received rave reviews playing for Team Canada in the off-season.  A player to watch throughout the year, and an early candidate for Most Improved Player.
  • Hollis Thompson isn't much beyond a spot-up shooter (Career 40 3PT%).  The Sixers are so desperate for shooting that he should make the team (but can't afford to slip, as his contract is not guaranteed).
SMALL FORWARD (Average Starter = 79)
74/SF: Robert Covington (14.7 PER, 28 MPG)
70/SF: JaKarr Sampson (9.4 PER, 15 MPG)
69/SF: Jerami Grant (8.7 PER, 21 MPG)
68/SF: Gerald Wallace (6.2 PER, 9 MPG)
  • Robert Covington is expected to reprise his starting role, and it would take monumental offensive improvement from Jerami Grant to change that.
  • Gerald Wallace will likely be waived in favor of JaKarr Sampson (or another young player like J.P. Tokoto or Christian Wood).
Editor's Note: Wallace was indeed waived 12 hours after this posting.
POWER FORWARD (Average Starter = 80)
74 - Carl Landry (14.9 PER, 17 MPG)
67 - Richuan Homes (Rookie)
  • Nerlens Noel will start at PF with Jahlil Okafor locked in at center.  Defensively he should compliment Okafor well, but offensively the spacing will be a nightmare until Noel expands his range (ala Serge Ibaka).
  • While there has been no indication that Carl Landry will suit up for the Sixers, he is unlikely to be outright waived since he still has another year left on his contract.  Once he recovers from injury the team will hope to move him to a playoff team for a draft pick, not dissimilar from Jason Richardson's situation last season.
  • Richuan Holmes should carve out a bench role with the team given how thin the Sixers are up front.
CENTER (Average Starter = 79)
77 - Nerlens Noel (15.0 PER, 31 MPG)
77 - Jahlil Okafor (Rookie)
76 - Joel Embiid (Rookie)
68 - Furkan Aldemir (12.0 PER, 13 MPG)
  • Jahlil Okafor will start, with Noel playing along side him.  He's the early favorite for Rookie of the Year given the playing time and usage he's expected to receive. 
  • Furkan Aldemir is a solid rebounder and exhibited 3PT range during summer league (currently 25 Standing/Moving 3PT Rating).  The Sixers would be thrilled if he can bring some of what Spencer Hawes brought them, in order to provide a different look when Okafor/Noel hit the bench.
  • Joel Embiid will once again miss the season with a broken foot. It's a highly disappointing start for the 3rd overall pick of the 2014 draft.

NBA 2K16: New Player Rating and Layout Explanation

Editing players finally got a needed overhaul in NBA 2K16.  Earlier in the year I was consulted by 2K Sports on what changes should be made to make the lives of roster editors easier, and it seems most of that has come to fruition.

The biggest change in the overlay that roster editors should appreciate is subdivisions of Attribute menus.  Instead of scrolling all the way to the bottom of a list to get to a specific attribute or tendency, many are just a few presses of R2 away.  This was especially problematic with Tendencies and Badges, as there were as many as 80 on a list. Finding a specific one was very cumbersome and time consuming, and this should expedite the process.

The other significant overlay change in the overlay is the Overall Rating is now visible at all times when editing ratings.  Being able to see the affect an editor is actively having on a player's rating while adjusting ratings is paramount.

Kobe Bryant: 85 Overall (NC)

ATTRIBUTES: OFFENSE
85 S.Layup (+5)
86 D.Layup (+2)
89 Post Fade (NC)
68 Post Hook (NC)
78 Post Control (+3)
82 Draw Foul (NEW)
80 S.Close (+2)
82 M.Close (+4)
75 S.Mid (+3)
74 M.Mid (-1)
77 S.3PT (+3)
70 M.3PT (-2)
81 FT (NC)
83 Ball Control (-5)
74 Pass Vision (+4)
88 Pass IQ (+8)
84 Pass Acc (NC)
36 O.Reb (-14)
45 Standing Dunk (NC)
45 Driving Dunk (+5)
25 Contact Dunk (NEW)
97 Shot IQ (+2)
98 Hands (-1)

Draw Foul used to be a tendency, but due to popular demand is now an attribute.  It dictates how good the player is at drawing fouls on their shots.  One way to think about it is as the return of the "Shoot in Traffic" rating.

Contact Dunk seems to be a compromise rating to distinguish an elite clear path dunker like Zach LaVine from the likes of...



...like Standing Dunk, it was rated in increments of five, and doesn't appear to have any effect on the OVR rating.  The ratings are generally low across the board (PF averaging 46, Centers averaging 45), so only a handful of players will be able to finish dunks through a lot of contact.

I personally would have preferred even more specificity on the Offense menu.  Inside Scoring, Shooting, Ball Control, and Dunking have all been consolidated into one list.  Conversely, the Potential rating sits all by itself on it's own menu (MISC).

Rebound ratings did not get their own menu; you will find Offensive Rebound, Defensive Rebound, and Boxout each on three separate menu screens.  They ideally should have their own because most editors adjust these simultaneously.

ATTRIBUTES: DEFENSE
67 D.Reb (+5)
37 Block (-2)
79 S.Contest (NC)
65 Steal (-4)
85 On-Ball Def (NC)
64 Low-Post Def (+4)
79 Reaction Time (NEW)

This is the first time in 13 years I found a player with offensive and defensive rebound ratings accurately rated to 2K's own scale.  Hopefully it's not a coincidence.

Reaction Time is a new attribute.  I believe the explanation of exactly what it does is located somewhere within Scott O'Gallagher's extensive Gameplay Blog.  My best guess without any testing:

ANTICIPATION REACTIONS – Whether it's a signature size up or a simple hesitation, the CPU defenders will react and drop correctly to put themselves in the best defensive position.
NEW – Off-ball player perceptions - Defensive IQ means more to the game than ever before. The defensive players on the floor now have their own “perceptions” of what they can or cannot see. Expect players with lower IQs to be late, or at times, completely miss their rotation assignments.

ATTRIBUTES: ATHLETICISM
67 Boxout (+7)
74 Lateral Quickness (-6)
70 Speed (-4)
72 Acceleration (-8, or NEW)
72 Vertical (NC)
66 Strength (+2)
75 Stamina (-24)
80 Hustle (+5)
86 Head Durability (NC)
84 Neck Durability (NC)
85 Back Durability (NC)
84 L.Shoulder Durability (NC)
85 R. Shoulder Durability (NC)
86 L.Elbow Durability (NC)
86 R. Elbow Durability (NC)
89 L. Hip Durability (NC)
88 R. Hip Durability (NC)
68 L. Knee Durability (NC)
74 R. Knee Durability (NC)
60 L. Ankle Durability (NC)
77 R. Ankle Durability (NC)
84 L. Foot Durability (NC)
85 R. Foot Durability (NC)
81 Miscellaneous Durability (NEW)

Acceleration appears to be the new name for Quickness.  With last year's inclusion of "Lateral Quickness", the difference between the two attributes wasn't abundantly clear.  For those who have been studying the game's mechanics over time "Acceleration" is a bit more indicative of how the rating actually functioned.

Speed and Quickness ratings were lowered across the board.
Only eight NBA players have a 90+ Speed rating.
97 John Wall
96 Russell Westbrook
95 Shane Larkin
94 Derrick Rose
92 Brandon Knight
91 Nate Robinson
90 Jerryd Bayless
90 Brian Roberts

The non-cheese direction Da_Czar and Scott O'Gallagher wanted to take the game required many athletic ratings to be re-scaled on a non-cheese spectrum.   Players before were too fast and many times as soon as they got that step on the defender you were back to playing a video game and not NBA basketball.   Lowering individual speed gives CPU defenders a higher chance to recover and consequently helps deliver methodical and strategic play to your TV screen.

Now for some bad.  To be quite honest, the Durability ratings should all be on a separate menu, with Misc Durability (the important one) up top instead of at the bottom.

It doesn't come as a surprise to me that none of these were edited across the board - even though 2K had NINE MONTHS to recognize Kobe would miss that exact amount of time following surgery to his right shoulder.

Last season the main Durability rating that most long-term players are familiar with was removed from the menus in 2K15 in favor of all the body part specific Durability attributes, relegating Misc to a non-editable aggregate of the other 16 attributes.  It's return gives enhanced control over injury frequency now that players can have multiple injuries at a given time.

ATTRIBUTES: MENTAL
76 Pass Perception (+6)
80 D.Consistency (+5)
84 Pick & Roll Def (+4)
78 Help Def (+15)
98 O.Consistency (-1)
99 Emotion (+39)

P&R and Help Defense belonging to Mental rather than Defense is kinda weird, at least on paper.  To my understanding these ratings function as "Awareness" type ratings which is why you'll find them here.  Conversely, the On-Ball and Post Defense attributes have physical (non-mental) results.

Kobe getting -1 Offensive Consistency is a bit odd given that every other player is rated on a scale of five.  A quick glance also shows Carmelo Anthony go from 99 to 98.  I suppose they want 99 reserved for the "greats" like Jordan with this hyped up "Hall of Fame rating scale" (of which I saw little evidence while writing this up), but a 1-point difference for an attribute normally scaled by five isn't exactly anything to hang a hat on.

ATTRIBUTES: MISC
99 Potential (NC)


The picture is worth 1,000 words.  Opportunity loss notwithstanding, the new interface is overall an improvement that everyone from roster editors to casual fans should appreciate.

NOTES
  • Big men appear to have gotten the shaft once again, as they appear to universally be dropping 1-3 points compared to their guard brethren who already held a ratings edge.  Rudy Gobert dropping out of the 80s is a travesty, and the fact that he rates only two points higher than a certain rookie speaks volumes...
  • 19-year-old Kristaps Porzingis has a higher rating than former All-Star David Lee (who averaged 18/9/2 as a starter in 2014)?  2K is clearly on the bandwagon, and I don't anticipate that one passing most people's laugh test.  Porzingis isn't even expected to start for a team that won less than 20 games last season.
  • 2K announced that six players are rated in the 90s and 57 are rated in the 80s.  It's extremely likely that the top 6 remain the same while Paul slipped out.  LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden all rated 94-96 at the end of 2K15 which means it is likely that Chris Paul (90) is the player that slipped out of the 90s.
