NBA 2K15 Point Guard Ratings (12/13/14)

With six weeks of NBA action already complete, I thought it would be worth checking on the state of NBA 2K15 player ratings to see how much they have changed with respect to player performance

The listed rating change is how much the player's Overall rating changed from the default roster (as will be the case in future installments, to give an idea of how much progress the player made this season).  Bear in mind that many players had OVR go up or down a point when Speed/Stamina ratings were revamped league-wide.

When ranking the players by their OVR rating you can see natural tier lists that help guide us to where these players ratings should sit.

95-99: All-Time Great
90-94: Superstar
85-89: All-Star
80-84: Quality NBA player (Fringe All-Star)
75-79: Average NBA player (Mediocre starter, quality backup)
70-74: Specialist (1-2 skills keeping player in league)
65-69: Fringe NBA player

POINT GUARDS (72)
1-10
91 (+2) Stephen Curry (26.9 PER, 63 TS%, 29 USG%, 39 AST%)
90 (-1) Chris Paul (26.4 PER, 61 TS%, 22 USG%, 47 AST%)
88 (NC) Russell Westbrook (31.7 PER, 60 TS%, 39 USG%, 54 AST%)
88 (+2) John Wall (20.5 PER, 53 TS%, 26 USG%, 47 AST%)
88 (NC) Derrick Rose (18.5 PER, 55 TS%, 32 USG%, 34 AST%)
87 (NC) Damian Lillard (22.4 PER, 60 TS%, 25 USG%, 29 AST%)
87 (+1) Kyrie Irving (21.1 PER, 58 TS%, 23 USG%, 23 AST%)
87 (-1) Tony Parker (16.9 PER, 58 TS%, 24 USG%, 30 AST%)
86 (+1) Kyle Lowry (23.2 PER, 55 TS%, 25 USG%, 35 AST%)
85 (+1) Deron Williams (17.2 PER, 54 TS%, 23 USG%, 31 AST%)

Westbrook has been balling out of his mind (albeit only 9 games due to injury).  His 39 USG will drop (would set the all-time mark), but when you factor that against his TS it's insane.  Just to give you an idea of how well Westbrook is playing... (and how bad Allen Iverson was, but I digress).

2015 Russell Westbrook: 59.8 TS%, 38.8 USG%,
2006 Kobe Bryant: 55.9 TS%, 38.7 USG%
1987 Michael Jordan: 56.2 TS%, 38.3 USG%
2002 Allen Iverson: 48.9 TS%, 37.8 USG%
2015 Kobe Bryant: 48.9 TS%, 36.2 USG%

Westbrook (88) is rated lower than Kobe (89) even though they're on completely different planets right now.  He's been a better player than John Wall and Derrick Rose for a couple years now. Hopefully 2K will give the man his due (FWIW, I also consider Curry/Paul to be 1-2 points underrated).

Speaking of Rose, he's playing well but not at his MVP-caliber levels.  It's clear from his numbers that he's not a top 5 PG right now.  Kyle Lowry on the other hand has been the East's best PG dating back to last season but continues to get overlooked in favor of bigger names like Rose, Wall, and Kyrie.

Deron Williams has no business being top 10.  He  had some early buzz about a return to form but his production is marginally worse than last season.  Enough is enough.  The same can actually be said of Tony Parker who is a long way from the explosive scorer he was two years ago.

11-20
85 (-2) Rajon Rondo (14.5 PER, 41 TS%, 18 USG%, 47 AST%)
84 (+1) Mike Conley (20.8 PER, 59 TS%, 23 USG%, 31 AST%)
83 (+3) Isaiah Thomas (22.7 PER, 60 TS%, 28 USG%, 29 AST%)
83 (-1) Ty Lawson (18.2 PER, 50 TS%, 22 USG%, 44 AST%)
82 (NC) Jrue Holiday (19.3 PER, 54 TS%, 22 USG%, 32 AST%)
82 (+1) Eric Bledsoe (18.2 PER, 57 TS%, 23 USG%, 29 AST%)
82 (-2) Goran Dragic (17.2 PER, 58 TS%, 22 USG%, 21 AST%)
81 (+3) Jeff Teague (21.2 PER, 60 TS%, 25 USG%, 37 AST%)
81 (+2) Brandon Knight (19.0 PER, 57 TS%, 26 USG%, 30 AST%)
80 (+1) Darren Collison (19.4 PER, 55 TS%, 23 USG%, 32 AST%)

How NOT to chase history:
2015 Rajon Rondo: 41.0 TS%
2008 Ben Wallace: 40.8 TS%

One of these players was a four-time Defensive Player of the Year to counteract his offensive ineptitude.  The other is Rajon Rondo.

Jeff Teague is having a breakout year, a leading reason the Hawks are 3rd in the East and winners of their last 9 games.  Brandon Knight and Darren Collison are likewise having breakouts while leading their teams beyond expectations.

21-30
80 (+2) Reggie Jackson (16.6 PER, 51 TS%, 25 USG%, 32 AST%)
80 (NC) Brandon Jennings (16.0 PER, 50 TS%, 24 USG%, 37 AST%)
80 (-2) Kemba Walker (15.9 PER, 47 TS%, 23 USG%, 27 AST%)
80 (NC) Michael Carter-Williams (12.8 PER, 45 TS%, 28 USG%, 43 AST%)
79 (NC) Ricky Rubio (15.9 PER, 46 TS%, 20 USG%, 56 AST%)
78 (NC) Jose Calderon (13.5 PER, 57 TS%, 14 USG%, 22 AST%)
77 (-1) Patrick Beverley (16.1 PER, 59 TS%, 18 USG%, 16 AST%)
77 (+1) Kirk Hinrich (9.8 PER, 50 TS%, 16 USG%, 18 AST%)
76 (NC) Andre Miller (16.5 PER, 64 TS%, 14 USG%, 39 AST%)
76 (+1) Mario Chalmers (15.5 PER, 57 TS%, 22 USG%, 25 AST%)

MCW isn't having nearly the success he had as a rookie, though recovering from injury hasn't helped.

Patrick Beverley has become the NBA's premier 3-N-D player a leading reason the Rockets 17-5 with the 2nd best defense in the league.  Comparing Beverley straight against Kirk Hinrich makes their ratings look plain silly.

31-40
76 (+2) Tony Wroten (14.8 PER, 49 TS%, 30 USG%, 38 AST%)
76 (-1) Jeremy Lin (13.5 PER, 55 TS%, 19 USG%, 26 AST%)
76 (NC) Greivis Vasquez (13.1 PER, 48 TS%, 23 USG%, 24 AST%)
76 (NC) Nate Robinson (9.7 PER, 43 TS%, 23 USG%, 22 AST%)
75 (+5) Dennis Schroder (19.1 PER, 57 TS%, 24 USG%, 29 AST%)
75 (+2) Aaron Brooks (16.4 PER, 58 TS%, 27 USG%, 30 AST%)
75 (NC) Devin Harris (15.4 PER, 57 TS%, 17 USG%, 22 AST%)
75 (NC) C.J. Watson (14.7 PER, 49 TS%, 21 USG%, 30 AST%)
75 (-1) Mo Williams (13.2 PER, 49 TS%, 21 USG%, 40 AST%)
75 (-1) D.J. Augustin (12.4 PER, 50 TS%, 22 USG%, 26 AST%)

Coming off a dreadful rookie season, Schroder pound for pound might be the league's most improved player (although not a candidate for the award, as it's typically given to players who log heavy minutes).

41-50
75 (-1) Marcus Smart (11.8 PER, 48 TS%, 18 USG%, 13 AST%)
75 (NC) Trey Burke (11.5 PER, 45 TS%, 20 USG%, 29 AST%)
75 (-1) Jameer Nelson (11.0 PER, 51 TS%, 16 USG%, 23 AST%)
74 (NC) J.J. Barea (19.4 PER, 52 TS%, 22 USG%, 33 AST%)
74 (NC) Beno Udrih (16.3 PER, 58 TS%, 20 USG%, 30 AST%)
74 (NC) Jarrett Jack (12.5 PER, 50 TS%, 16 USG%, 21 AST%)
74 (-1) Norris Cole (11.9 PER, 48 TS%, 16 USG%, 23 AST%)
74 (NC) Brian Roberts (11.5 PER, 48 TS%, 18 USG%, 20 AST%)
74 (NC) Elfrid Payton (10.4 PER, 41 TS%, 19 USG%, 30 AST%)
74 (NC) Ramon Sessions (9.4 PER, 45 TS%, 21 USG%, 23 AST%)

J.J. Barea has thoroughly outplayed Mavericks starter Jameer Nelson but is better suited to a bench role.   Beno Udrih is likewise having a bounce-back year with a stable bench role.

51-60
74 (NC) Dante Exum (7.3 PER, 48 TS%, 15 USG%, 17 AST%)
73 (NC) Cory Joseph (16.5 PER, 56 TS%, 19 USG%, 20 AST%)
73 (-1) Shaun Livingston (12.0 PER, 53 TS%, 22 USG%, 23 AST%)
73 (-1) Kendall Marshall (11.5 PER, 61 TS%, 15 USG%, 28 AST%)
73 (-1) Shabazz Napier (9.2 PER, 56 TS%, 15 USG%, 15 AST%)
73 (+1) Matthew Dellavedova (8.2 PER, 48 TS%, 11 USG%, 20 AST%)
72 (NC) Isaiah Canaan (13.9 PER, 19 USG%, 14 AST%)
72 (NC) Pablo Prigioni (13.5 PER, 64 TS%, 13 USG%, 18 AST%)
72 (NC) Luke Ridnour (11.0 PER, 52 TS%, 14 USG%, 26 AST%
72 (+1) Shelvin Mack (9.6 PER, 41 TS%, 18 USG%, 28 AST%)

I've mentioned in a SimHangOut that Cory Joseph would need to step up to fill Patty Mills shoes and he has done so adequately.

Dante Exum is doing a little bit more than letting his sim hang low (Hey Scott, you called it!).  Exum was drafted more for his potential than what he could do as a teenage rookie, and looking at the leap Dennis Schroder has made at 21, it's obviously way too early to discount him. However at present it's clear that Exum has yet to realize his potential.

61-72
72 (+1) Steve Blake (9.4 PER, 50 TS%, 12 USG%, 27 AST%)
72 (NC) Jordan Farmar (9.0 PER, 52 TS%, 17 USG%, 18 AST%)
71 (+6) Donald Sloan (13.1 PER, 48 TS%, 19 USG%, 27 AST%)
71 (-1) Shane Larkin (9.6 PER, 52 TS%, 13 USG%, 16 AST%)
71 (-3) Ray McCallum (6.5 PER, 52 TS%, 17 USG%, 10 AST%)
70 (NC) Jordan Clarkson (15.3 PER, 55 TS%, 19 USG%, 10 AST%)
70 (-2) Zach LaVine (8.8 PER, 49 TS%, 20 USG%, 20 AST%)
70 (NC) Phil Pressey (8.4 PER, 38 TS%, 13 USG%, 25 AST%)
69 (NC) Ronnie Price (8.4 PER, 39 TS%, 12 USG%, 24 AST%)
68 (-4) Jimmer Fredette (2.8 PER, 33 TS%, 15 USG%, 11 AST%)
67 (NC) Leandro Barbosa (12.2 PER, 51 TS%, 20 USG%, 12 AST%)
66 (NC) A.J. Price (17.2 PER, 54 TS%, 25 USG%, 27 AST%)

Donald Sloan did about as well as could be expected going from 3rd string to NBA starter.  A.J. Price actually outplayed him and is in the same boat Sloan was at the start of the year.  Price has been one of 2K's most underrated players dating back to his rookie season in 2010.  He's not great, but the 6-year pro (12.2 Career PER) is certainly a capable 3rd string.

Barbosa should be listed at SG, which would raise his OVR an appropriate degree (there's obviously no comparison between he and Jimmer Fredette).

Will Bynum's +2 signifies how underrated he was athletically prior to the global speed adjustment.

Even though great progress has been made with respect to player ratings, there's still a lot of work to be actively done.  I should have posts for the other four positions up in the coming days, and will update these lists throughout the season, so check back for updates on which players are over/underrated by 2K Sports.

OVERRATED
84/C Al Horford (18.9 PER, 57 TS%, 20 USG%, 6 ORB%, 18 DRB%)
Horford's rebound numbers have taken a hit but Hawks fans are happy he's just taking the court.

UNDERRATED
81/PG Jeff Teague (21.5 PER, 60 TS%, 26 USG%, 38 AST%)
Teague's breakout has the Hawks playing much better than most expected them to.

75/PG Dennis Schroder (21.0 PER, 61 TS%, 24 USG%, 30 AST%, 3.0 STL%)
Ruh roh.  After last season's rookie stinker (5.8 PER), Schroder might be the most improved player in the NBA.  He and Teague make less than 10 million combined!

OVERRATED
81/SG Bradley Beal (12.2 PER, 52 TS%, 24 USG%)
People talk about Beal similar to the way people used to about Klay Thompson, but frankly all I see is an erratic gunner who thinks he's more than a 3pt shooting specialist (Career 40 3PT%, 42 2PT%).

UNDERRATED
72/PF Kris Humphries (15.0 PER, 49 TS%, 20 USG%, 27 DRB%)
Humphries has been underrated by 2K for about as long as I can remember.

Currently undergoing his THIRD straight season of injury plagued non-production.  Danny is done.

74/PF Josh McRoberts (8.7 PER, 58 TS%, 14 USG%, 28 TO%)
Getting badly outplayed by Shawne Williams.

UNDERRATED
72/SF Shawne Williams (14.1 PER, 63 TS%, 14 USG%, 5 TO%)
Williams rates 8 points lower at PF, a position he's spent the majority of his career (and 100% of his minutes for the Heat).  Drastic overhaul here is clearly necessary.

OVERRATED
77/PF Channing Frye (8.7 PER, 56 TS%, 13 USG%, 1 ORB%)
When the starting PF has an offensive rebound rate equal to Ben Gordon's there's a problem.

UNDERRATED
78/SG Victor Oladipo (15.5 PER, 55 TS%, 24 USG%, 19 AST%, 13 DRB%)
Oladipo rates only 75 at PG (where he plays 2/3rds of his minutes).  Scoring, passing, and rebound ratings could all use an uptick.  Compare his numbers to the guards on the Hornets...

72/PF Kyle O'Quinn (28.5 PER, 66 TS%, 25 USG%, 12 ORB%, 5.9 BLK%, 130 minutes)
Sample isn't large but that's besides the point.  O'Quinn has been underrated by 2K since his rookie season (Career 17.1 PER).  Rates only 70 at center, where he's been putting up his numbers in Vucevic's absence.

67/C Dewayne Dedmon (16.4 PER, 54 TS%, 16 USG%, 19 ORB%, 25 DRB%, 5.5 BLK%)
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm familiar with the nuances of Dedmon's game but he certainly deserves better than 75 ORB, 73 DRB, 74 BOX, and 69 BLK.

81/SG Lance Stephenson (10.9 PER, 43 TS%, 20 USG%)
While his rebounds and assists might make him a fantasy all-star, Stephenson  has been one of the league's worst scoring guards.

80/PG Kemba Walker (14.9 PER, 45 TS%, 23 USG%)
That contract extension looks especially poor right now.  It doesn't seem like Kemba and Lance can co-exist.

UNDERRATED
73/C Bismack Biyombo (19.6 PER, 58 TS%, 16 USG%, 18 ORB%, 8 BLK%)
I'm not sure anyone really qualifies as "underrated" on this Hornets team but Biyombo is the closest. His minutes are blocked by Al Jefferson but production is up across the board.

OVERRATED
80/SF Andre Iguodala (9.2 PER, 52 TS%, 13 USG%, 12 AST%)
While his defensive ability and versatility is certainly valuable, Iggy just isn't a better player than Harrison Barnes or Draymond Green right now.

UNDERRATED
90/PG Stephen Curry (28.1 PER, 64 TS%, 29 USG%, 40 AST%)
75/PF Marreese Speights (26.1 PER, 59 TS%, 32 USG%, 9 TO%)

Curry is in some historic company right now.

Point Guard PER > 25
30.0 Chris Paul (2009)
28.3 Chris Paul (2008)
28.1 Stephen Curry (2015)
27.7 Chris Paul (2015)
27.6 Oscar Robertson (1964)
27.0 Chris Paul (2012)
27.0 Magic Johnson (1987)
26.9 Magic Johnson (1989)
26.7 Oscar Robertson (1965)
26.6 Magic Johnson (1990)
26.4 Chris Paul (2013)
26.0 Oscar Robertson (1962)
25.9 Chris Paul (2014)
25.7 Magic Johnson (1981)
25.5 Oscar Robertson (1967)
25.2 Oscar Robertson (1966)
25.1 Magic Johnson (1991)
25.1 Oscar Robertson (1961)
25.0 Jerry West (1965)

There are only four other PGs to post seasons > 25 PER, and two of them were all-time greats prior to the modern era.  Only Chris Paul has put together better seasons than this, but those efforts were required to simply make his Hornets competitive (49 wins in 2009, 56 wins in 2008).  Looking at where Curry has the Warriors in the standings, this could be the greatest all-time season for a point guard.

Derrick Rose had only 23.5 PER when he was awarded MVP for leading the Bulls to the league's top record and I can't see any reason why Curry won't get it barring a sudden collapse in team/individual production.

You can copy/paste that same argument for Curry to Chris Paul.  Here's how they compare to their peers.

Dragic's production is down from last season, though his full-time position switch to SG (where he rates 84 OVR) has had a major impact there.

UNDERRATED
71/C Alex Len (13.6 PER, 60 TS%, 12 USG%)
Has outplayed starter Miles Plumlee thus far.  Has a bit more upside going forward (only 21 years old) so he's a player to watch.

On the one hand, I think Thompson's fine because you obviously want a low-usage player next to a dominant center like Cousins, but he still needs to knock down the shots he does take.

73/SG Nik Stauskas (5.6 PER, 44 TS%, 12 USG%)
Clearly struggling with his shot.

UNDERRATED
89/C DeMarcus Cousins (27.8 PER, 59 TS%, 33 USG%)
DMC is the best offensive center we've seen in quite some time, perhaps since Shaquille O'Neal, as over the past decade we've really only had Yao Ming (medical retirement), Brook Lopez (multiple injuries), Amare Stoudemire (injuries, stints at power forward), and Dwight Howard (no post moves).

80/PG Darren Collison (19.2 PER, 54 TS%, 21 USG%, 31 AST%)
Has really found a home in Sacramento.  The decision to let Isaiah Thomas walk away for nothing is at least defensible now.

NBA 2K15 Roster Analysis 12/2/14 - Atlantic Division

Been awhile since I've had some free time... let's see where the 2K rosters stand.... have time for an Atlantic Division post.

Rotations are mine and not 2K's (load up the roster to check the differences).  I adjusted first positions which leads to some OVR rating differences (which I mention).

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

TORONTO RAPTORS

13-4 (1st East, 3rd NBA)

8.55 SRS (1st East, 2nd NBA)

STARTERS

85/PG Kyle Lowry (35)

77/PG Greivis Vasquez (32)

77/SG Terrence Ross (34)

77/PF Amir Johnson (26)

79/C Jonas Valanciunas (27)

64/SF Bruno Caboclo (0)

INACTIVE

67/PF Lucas Nogueira (0)

82/SF DeMar DeRozan (INJURED, NO ETA)

OVERRATED

82/SF DeMar DeRozan (16.7 PER, 49 TS%, 29 USG%)

DeRozan rates four points higher at SG, where 2K has him listed, and his production is not worthy of an 86 (Lowry has been the Raptors best player dating back to last season).  41 Defensive Rebound, 40 Boxout, and a criminally low 40 Post Defense appear to be the reason his rating tanks so hard when switched to SF (appropriate ratings in these categories would lead to an 84 rating, still a bit high given his current level of production).

UNDERRATED

85/PG Kyle Lowry (22.8 PER, 55 TS%, 25 USG%, 9 TO%)

For the second straight season Lowry has been the best guard in the eastern conference (with apologies to oft-injured Dwyane Wade), yet he still rates lower than Derrick Rose (88) Rajon Rondo (87), Kyrie Irving (87), and on par with Deron Williams (85).  Unlike last season, Joe Johnson won't be robbing Lowry of a clear all-star nod (god-willing) and it's high-time that 2K took notice.

79/C Jonas Valanciunas (21.0 PER, 63 TS%, 19 USG%, 29 DRB%)

Guess who's an all-star center the Cavaliers could have drafted over Tristan Thompson?

77/SG Louis Williams (23.2 PER, 59 TS%, 28 USG%, 8 TO%)

No longer attempting to masquerade as a PG (only 8 AST%) and focusing solely on scoring, Williams has never attained this level of efficiency before.  Averaging 15 PPG in a mere 21 MPG, he'll be relied upon heavily in the wake of DeRozan's injury.

73/SF James Johnson (17.5 PER, 62 TS%, 15 USG%, 5.5 BLK%)

Last season was no fluke.

PRIMARY POSITION ADJUSTMENT

66/SF Sergey Karasev (0)

72/PF Andrei Kirilenko (PERSONAL, NO ETA)

OVERRATED

84/SF Joe Johnson (15.6 PER, 53 TS%, 22 USG%)

It's finally safe to say Johnson won't be an all-star this season (his production is similar to last season, but Deron Williams is playing better).

82/C Brook Lopez (16.9 PER, 55 TS%, 26 USG%)

Having the worst season of his career, as it seems his foot injuries have finally taken their toll on his production.  Given his limitations/risks he should be coming off the bench or getting reduced minutes.  #FreeMasonPlumlee

72/SG Bojan Bogdanovic (9.4 PER, 54 TS%, 16 USG%, 7 DRB%)

Listed at SF (74 OVR) by 2K, BB thus far has been one-dimensional and an inefficient scorer.

UNDERRATED

72/PF Mirza Teletovic (15.5 PER, 57 TS%, 21 USG%)

A big reason why Plumlee's minutes have been limited while Kirilenko is completely out of the rotation.

72/C Vitor Faverani (INJURED, NO ETA)

OVERRATED

87/PG Rajon Rondo (16.1 PER, 45 TS%, 18 USG%)

He is 9-30 from the FT line this season.  Averaging 9 PPG on a team devoid of talent, it goes without saying Rondo is no longer an all-star.  It should say a lot that the vaunted defensive backcourt of Rondo/Bradley has carried the Celtics all the way to 27th in defensive efficiency (that's terrible).  

78/SG Avery Bradley (11.1 PER, 53 TS%, 21 USG%, 5 AST%)

Overrated scorer/shooter (only 32 3PT%, 36% for career, with 87 3PT-SS).  His passing skills have not developed one iota since entering the league.

74/SF Gerald Wallace (3.6 PER, 32 TS%, 6 USG%, 9 DNP-CD)

As was evident last season, Crash's days as an effective player are behind him.

UNDERRATED

78/PF Jared Sullinger (20.5 PER, 53 TS%, 23 USG%, 6.6 TO%)

It's not often we see a scoring big man with a nearly 3:1 A/T ratio.

70/C Tyler Zeller (19.5 PER, 71 TS%, 15 USG%)

Zeller, who just earned the starting job in Boston, has been underrated dating back to last season.

76/SG J.R. Smith (10.0 PER, 47 TS%, 22 USG%, 22 AST%)

Worst scoring numbers of his career - as bad as when he was a 19-year old rookie out of high school.  At least he's passing the ball more.

72/PG Shane Larkin (9.2 PER, 49 TS%, 12 USG%, 15 AST%)

He just isn't very good.

UNDERRATED

78/PF Amar'e Stoudemire (20.9 PER, 59 TS%, 24 USG%, 13 ORB%, 25 DRB%)

Rebounding on both ends (career marks) to supplement his always effective offensive play.  One of the few Knicks playing well.

MCW's per game numbers (16/7/6) are only strong when ignoring his shooting percentages and turnover rate.

Not getting it done on the offensive glass which kills any chance of him being an effective offensive player.

UNDERRATED

71/SG Alexey Shved (20.1 PER, 55 TS%, 27 USG%, 36 AST%)

Rates only 68 at PG, the position he should be listed at.  Shooting and passing much better than he did with Minnesota.

67/C Henry Sims (15.0 PER, 55 TS%, 18 USG%)

Much better offensive player than his ratings reflect.  Has been team's starting center since acquisition in February.

NBA 2K15 Power Rankings (11/21/14)

It's good to see that in only a few days 2K noticed my posts and took steps to rectify the situation immediately.

17 teams were over/underrated on 11/18 (five of them by 10+ ranking points)
Only three days later we can see that number has been cut in HALF - eight teams are over/underrated, with only one by 10+ points.

There are still a number of teams that need significant change to their offense/defense ratings, but at least from a production standpoint the league is much closer to where it should be than it was a week ago.
