Whiteside was a beast last year.

His averages per 36 minutes were 18 ppg on 62% shooting, 15 reb, and 4 blocks.

All of those numbers are better than Goberts. Last year he even had a game where he put up 14 blocks or something ridiculous like that. Plus, from the little I've seen, he is better on the block.

Isiah Thomas is one of the best scoring guards in the league. There literally isnt anything that he cant do offensively.

3pt shooting. Ft shooting. Finishing at the rim. Passing. Nobody stands a chance in staying in front of him one on one.

And aside from Chris Paul, he is the best pick n roll player in the league.

But thats just my guess. [emoji4]

For all who think Gobert for some reason should be rated the same or higher than Whiteside here are some stats for you.

These are advanced stats which give a true picture of each player's ability, and likely the type of stats upon which player ratings were based according to Bed's breakdown.

=========

ORB% (The percentage of offensive rebounds grabbed/offensive rebounds available while this player was on the court)

Whiteside - 15.6% (Top Three in NBA after Drummond and Jordan)
Gobert - 14.3%

DRB% (The percentage of defensive rebounds grabbed/defensive rebounds available while this player was on the court)

Whiteside - 34.7% (Number #1 in NBA -- Top 6 performance All-Time)
Gobert - 19.7%

BLK% (The percentage of shots blocked/available to be blocked while this player was on the court)

Whiteside - 9.2% (Top Three in NBA)
Gobert - 7.0%

WS/48 (Win Shares per 48 minutes)

Whiteside - .221
Gobert - .206

Edit:PER - Player Efficiency Rating (A measure of overall player production per minute)

Whiteside - 26.2 (#6 in NBA -- Top ten include Davis, Westbrook, Curry, Durant, Harden, Whiteside, Paul, James, Cousins, Aldridge)

Gobert - 21.6

=========

Gobert's calling card is his defense; he's not much of an offensive player yet. Most might agree by the eye test that Whiteside is a better offensive player. Advanced stats reveal that he is also a better defensive player individually; Gobert in his team concept may have a greater defensive impact, and that's what sig skills like Defensive anchor are for. So whereas Whiteside is a better offensive player, rebounder and shotblocker than Gobert, and perhaps even more athletic, I can see him being 2 points overall higher. If anything, Whiteside could be UNDERrated... and I'm sure the reason is sample size, even though he played roughly 50 games last year.

That's all I'll say about that, as this is not really a ratings discussion thread.

Yeah you could still with your man way better in older basketball games but I think that's because the newer gen have so many more animations they don't always have counters for them defensively .

A Rock..couple of my friends stayed up all night playing old 2k and live games, beside the graphics and animations we really had fun and got competited. you really had onball defense in those days.

I thought the lighting looked better and apparently it's one of the last polishes.
You can really tell the difference even though these images are scaled down tremendously compared to actually being on a TV.

Still though we only see the game this close in glimpses so I'd much rather the gameplay & animations look this good. Still hoping for collision detection, foot planting and a physics engine. But graphically these pics definitely look better than 2k14. 15 didn't look as good as 14 IMO.

The tattoos look amazing too. Still hoping for more CAP tattoo options or even the option to upload your own but we'll see. Couple weeks away.

Some of you fools need to go back and study some game history if you're this uptight about 2K's graphics.
