Durant - Should have B defense Minimum, B+ IMO, he is a tall and lanky lock down defender and while he might not get the respect Lebron does, he was just as good a defender if not better then at his age. if you need statistics he has been averaging over a steal AND a block per game for last 3 years per 36! and he averages over 36 minutes a game. I would say B- rebounding as well because he has averaged 8 rebounds per game over last 2 seasons so I think its deserving of slight bump www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duranke01.htmlSerge Ibaka - A- defense is ridiculous. it should be A. He is the premier shot blocker in the ENTIRE nba. 3.7 blocks per year that year at 6'10. He can body up with any big man in the Nba perimeter or paint bigs. Not only a great one on one defender but also a great help defender who can play off the pick and roll and guard bigger SF's. the fact that Josh smith is an A+ and Ibaka is A- puzzling and all I ask is for A. I could also see B- inside because he has a 55 FG%. and although he only averaged around 9-10 ppg the previous 2 years now in this current season now finally given reps has jumped to 13 ppg. I think that Is a fair argument but I shall leave it up to you. www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/ibakase01.html |

Udonis Haslem rebounding to B+ for obvious reasons, his career average is 7.7 rebounds per game and he holds the heat record for all time rebounds, he has 5.5 this year in reduced time, if he had 30 minutes he'd have near 8-10 again. B is fine for him. He has declined in rebounding skill over the years |

Irving is fine...he is good enough with potential, so he will be good Waiter moved to C+ handling, upped stealing, but stayed at C Thompson gets moved to B- inside, B- rebounding CJ Miles is rejected Contracts, bird years, and players are fixed So a career 34% shooter from 3pt, is only a D? I thought it said C. He will get C |

I just have one for ya.... Iman Shumpert Current: C+ C C B C- A Requested: C+ C+ C B+ C- A B- C or C+ C+ offense is what I'm requesting here, whichever you see fit. The guy's not Kobe but he's not the worst offensive player on the planet. He can get to the hoop and this season his perimeter game is greatly improved. 1.1 made 3's a night, 41% clip is pretty darn good. Should warrant C+ at the very least. And defensively, the guy's an above average defender. 7th in the NBA last season in steals per game, and he was keeping a lot of the top PGs at bay last season (Rose, Westbrook, etc.) with his real tough perimeter D. www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/shumpim01.htmlBottom line, he needs to be better. You can say all you want about the guy having potential but I've been doing this a long time and without the proper foundation in terms of ratings, these guys aren't gonna pan out at all. Offense denied. He is an awful offensive player right now D will be moved to B+ though |

Nuggets Gripes: #2 of 5.
ASKING FOR:REASONING:Inside/Outside - Brewer has developed a nice outside shot, and has been a very important player for the Nuggets off the bench. He puts up 12.3ppg, good for 24.1 PP48 - a better rate than starters such as David Lee, Carlos Boozer, Rudy Gay, Josh Smith, Damian Lillard and Tyreke Evans, and a better rate than star bench players such as Jarrett Jack (who has C+ B- ratings). He has hit over 90 3's on the season (good for over 1.1 per game) as well. I think both ratings deserve a bump, but if you think the inside is fine as is then I would definitely like to see the outside go up. Hitting that many 3's and scoring at that good a clip is deserving. espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/scoring-per-48-minutes/sort/avg48Points/qualified/false/count/41, espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/3-points/sort/threePointFieldGoalsMade/qualified/false/count/41Defence - Brewer has always been known as a great perimeter defender, even coming out of college from Florida. The buzz about him coming up to the draft included: "A real game changer on the defensive end of the floor. Long arms allow him to be a very tough defender. Gets a lot of steals" and "The premier perimeter defender in college, capable of being a lock down defender on the next level." While he may not be the best defender in the game, he is still a damn good one. In addition to being a great defender on the perimeter, he averages 2.9 SP48 - good for 5th in the league and ahead of guys like Russell Westbrook and Mario Chalmers (who both have B+ defensive ratings). He definitely deserves a bump. Should be great at steals and also a good perimeter defender. www.nbadraft.net/players/corey-brewer, insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/results/players/_/id/18857/corey-brewer, espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/steals/sort/avg48Steals Brewer is fine offensively, no changes D is moved to B |

Nuggets Gripes: #3 of 5.
ASKING FOR:REASONING:Defence - Koufos is an outstanding post defender who is very physical and disruptive in the paint. He averages 2.77 BP48 (17th in the league), a clip better than Al Jefferson, DeAndre Jordan and Marcin Gortat to name a few (who all have B ratings). Koufos has forced George Karl's hand in putting him in the starting lineup and giving him more minutes with his stellar defensive effort and blocking ability. espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/blocks/sort/avg48BlocksRebounding - Koufos is 11th in the entire league in RP48 at 14.8. This is a mark well above guys like Al Jefferson, Carlos Boozer and David Lee - who all have ratings of either B+ or A-. His 2.6 offensive rebounds per game put him 20th in the league, but he does that in only 22.5mpg - this compared to a guy like Al Horford who gets his 2.6 offensive rebounds per game in over 37mpg. His offensive rebounding is comfortably in the top 10 per 48 minutes. He is an animal on the offensive glass, and an animal on the defensive glass to boot. His rebounding rating should get a massive bump up from the shit rating of C that he has been given. espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/rebounds/sort/avgOffensiveRebounds, espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/rebounds/sort/avg48Rebounds
Koufus will get B- D and B rebounding |

why was Lebron's rebounding downgraded?
if you need proof of that it should be higher he has a career average of 7.2 rebounds per game, this year he is averaging 8 RPG i think his rebounding should be at B or at least B-(where it was) at min

Gripe 1: Ryan Anderson: C+ B C- B C+ A Ryan Anderson C+ A- C- B B A Offensively, Ryan Anderson is one of, if not the best three point shooter in the game. On top of being one of the better shooters in the league at 6'10" he has has been scoring 16PPG over the past two seasons, so bringing up from a B to an A- will help him get similar numbers. Alaos he's rebounding 7-9 rebounds per game for his entire 5 year career so far. He's a PF, he should have a higher grade in rebounding so he can at least be at par at where he is in real life. www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/anderry01.html |

Lance Stephenson C+ handles B defense C+ outside Stephenson was known for us defense coming out of the NBA. He has great size and a great wingspan. Gets a steal a game in under 30 minutes per game, has a 3.6 DWS and is on the short let of most improved players in the league, is shooting .326 from the line which isn't great but deserves C+. He gets 3 assists a game with one turnover deserving a bump. He is great at grabbing a defensive rebound, and pushing the ball up court. Just some random stats showing how good Stephenson has been. The Pacers best lineup is Hill-Stephenson-George-West-Hibbert with a 75.9 win percent and a +/- of 283. Replace Lance in the lineup with Young, and they have a 29.3 win percent and a +/- of -20. That is pretty significant. Comparing Stephenson to other SGs. 67 more net point then IGGY, over 100 more than Joe Johnson, and Manu. And all higher win%. Basically I'm saying Stephenson is vastly underrated because he is one of the NBAs most improved players. This is what he would of looked like last year. These gripes are what he is this year. www.82games.com/1213/12IND5.HTM |
