Working on our preseason player rankings what is pretty obvious in the game is that Giannis, Jokic, and Embid are on a different tier individually. I think that should be represented more in the 2k23 ratings, probably even slightly more than I have them. This is how I would set my player rankings if someone wants to use it for a guide.
If you would like to discuss why I think for example Robert Williams has the same rating as James Harden we can talk about the numbers and age progression/regression here. I’ll respond to that or any thoughts you have.
