Why are so many PF's & Centers FG rating jacked up?

[JZ2]

Off the top of my head heres a few. There is also at least 20 scrubs with a 80+ fg rating that play PF or center. Some some big men do deserve a 80 for fg rating but most of them do not.

Josh Smith 86
Cousins 85
Griffin 80
Noah 73
Drew Gooden 87
Ibaka 85

Tim Duncan can hit a open mid range shot and hes as good as any using glass but he has a 92 mid range which puts him on Stephen Curry league of shooting. I know SoT factors a little bit but you pass to any big man with a rating like that he can drop 40 points every game with ease.

If Blake Griffin had a killer 80 mid range shot than why did the clippers try to trade for Garnett because they needed a big that could shot and spread teams out. Griffin can't shot period. Blake Griffin shoots better than James Harden.

I really want to know how people get around this and how there's not more fuss about this.

I see ur point however u can't just dribble around with a big and pull up open shots...it's so easy to contest a bigs shot so it really isn't as effective... Try it play with a sg and a pf with the same mid range... Let me know who has a way better shot plus its sooo much easier to get open with the small men

However yes plenty are still to high and Blake's should be 65 no higher

found a good site to see what each player shoots at 3-9 ft, 10-15, and 16-23.

Marc Gasol for example shoots way more and better than Tim Duncan who has a 92 mid range. Gasol has a 70 mid range.

Nothing checks out for the 2k insiders ratings. Its basically all made up and fake.

2ks Rosters are always a joke, go to the rosters section on this forum and find yourself a more realistic roster made by the community, improves game play 10 fold! Then edit one of those to your liking.

Not trying to defend 2k in anyway buy stats don't tell everything... How many shots does each take, at what point in the shot clock, and how open are they...that's just a few things most stats don't tell

first of all, there is no "fg" rating. it appears you are referring to the mid range rating, so why dont you call it that?

second, ibaka and cousins are both pretty good from mid range and drew gooden is too although he hardly plays anymore.
