McCollum’s numbers from last season speak for themselves, particularly considering the fact that he put them up for a team that, by most accounts, grossly overachieved all season. McCollum has a pretty compelling case for a higher overall rating.
Ironically enough, despite his disinterest in arguing about it, C.J. A few of these point guards (I’ll get to you later, Kyrie Irving!) probably have a point. I like all three players, but would personally value Thomas and Conley higher than the often-injured Eric Bledsoe, and the good-but-slightly-less-good Kemba Walker.īy his own admission, Thomas thinks he should be rated ‘at least’ 88 overall, and while nit-picky, I think he has a point. Thomas’ 85 rating ties him with fellow point guards Mike Conley, Eric Bledsoe, and Kemba Walker. If you wanted to argue that Isaiah Thomas is closer to, say, the overall 89 rating of John Wall than he is to 81 of Rajon Rondo, and thus should have a higher overall rating, I can agree with that. There are 10 point guards rated 85 or higher, meaning Thomas falls in line with the bottom half of the top-10 points guards in the NBA, and that seems fair. Isaiah Thomas has been one of the most vocal NBA players to campaign for a higher NBA 2K17 rating, and he kind of has a point. McCollum, Boston’s Isaiah Thomas, and the infamous NBA 2K’s lead in-house Twitter personality.ĭo Isaiah Thomas, and the smorgasbord of other NBA players playfully whining on social media about their NBA 2K17 rating, have a point? Let’s find out. I’ll point you toward this exchange between Portland’s C.J. Plus, let’s be honest, it gives us something to do while we wait for the NBA to return in late October. Everyone has an opinion, and that makes arguing over seemingly mundane numbers interesting. What makes NBA 2K ratings particularly fun to scrutinize is how active NBA players are in the NBA 2K community.
