The data tells us a few things.
- Many point guards who rarely dunk IRL are capable of doing so with regularity in NBA 2K16.
- Dunk production in general does not fluctuate very much for point guards, and there are clear tiers one can derive from statistics.
- A grand total of five players had their dunk rating changed over the summer.
I am also not sure why (beyond laziness) 2K has not adopted the 5-point scale (multiples of five) they use for Standing and now Contact dunk. There is no measurable variance between single-digits increments.
CONTACT DUNK
45 Eric Bledsoe
40 Jordan Clarkson
35 Russell Westbrook
35 John Wall
35 Derrick Rose
35 Terry Rozier
30 Shaun Livingston
30 Tony Wroten
30 Michael Carter-Williams
Contact Dunk is a new rating, created explicitly with players like Zach LaVine in mind (he avoids contact on his drives). Consequently, very few PGs have any attribute points allocated here.
STANDING DUNK
60 Zach LaVine
40 Michael Carter-Williams
40 Shaun Livingston
40 Terry Rozier
35 Derrick Rose
30 Russell Westbrook
30 Tony Wroten
30 Joseph Young
30 Brian Roberts
LaVine is the only PG who can perform a standing dunk in game Standing Dunk has always been a dunk rating for big men, and you see the same handful of names as with Contact Dunk.
Bonus round! See how many classic ratings you can get through before you throw up in your mouth!
