Do you even realize that my original question was simply if there's any good reason to believe that J.R. Smith is a more consistent player than Chandler Parsons and John Wall which is 2ks opinion? I never said that he's a bad player, nor that Parsons is objectively better. But do you really think that Smith is consistent? That was all, before you came in to defend your favorite team and the players you have to like in order to identify with their successes...

Bad example...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Green_(basketball)

He still had to play his way into the contract that he currently has. The Spurs gave him a second chance, and he played his way into a 3-year contract. Also, when teams talk about scouts, it's normally when people are getting information about college players that they're planning on drafting. Plus, the only time that I ever hear the comment "the best scouts in the NBA" is when they discuss how well the Spurs have drafted.

We'll see. As the season winds down, I got a feeling that it's going to come down to who each team want to see in the first round of the playoffs. Boston is just one of those team that you can never be too certain about come playoff time. I'm not trying to de-rail the thread or anything.

I just want to point out that 2K's consistency rating is defined as the ability to maintain a hot streak or easily get out of a shooting slump. Their definition has nothing to do with what people think of as being consistent IRL, but that doesn't matter here.

Is J.R. Smith the kind of player who maintains an even level of performance from game-to-game and season-to-season? Absolutely not.

Is J.R. Smith the kind of player who forgets about the last shot immediately and can get ridiculously hot or shoot himself out of a slump easily? Certainly.

J.R. isn't consistent by any common practical definition, but in 2K's world of esoteric and occasionally absurd vocabulary, where potential means actual and consistency means irrational confidence, he might deserve the highest rating in the game.

Right, but looking at consistency ratings for other players...superstars get high values regardless of whether they're particularly streaky or not. So the whole rating itself might be too simplistic.

It's very simplistic. They use it primarily as an OVR booster. It just means, 'if you keep shooting with this player, you'll get favorable results sooner rather than later.'

[Streaky McFloorburn]

To add to that, if the rating works the way I think it does, then the top of the scale is for players who are more likely to shoot better than their ratings, the middle is for players who are actually consistent in the practical sense, and the bottom is for players who are more likely to underperform.

What really makes the rating problematic is that it doesn't allow for players who easily swing to both extremes. They may need to reduce base shot ratings or perfect release margins for players with high consistency in order to keep them from shooting unrealistically well.

Why hasn't Jeff Green been updated yet I mean come on now dude has been amazing ever since he got the starting job he averages over 20 points. Why does Jeff Green still feel so stiff and slow as molasses, he should feel more Athletic just like in real life.
