NBA 2K18 Top Rated Power Forwards

First impression is on the skin tone. Again, pretty inaccurate. I'm ok with the ratings.

If we're doing the inflated ratings thing, then Draymond should be a 90.

Not sure I agree that Randolph & Nowitzki are still top 10 PF's, plus Jabari Parker shouldn't be anywhere near this list with a 2nd ACL tear, but not a bad list overall.

Hmm, LMA as an 85? Dude straight up disappeared in the playoffs last spring for most of it. I'd be more comfortable with him as an 83, not an 85. Otherwise, I'm good. Davis may be a tad overrated (92 maybe should be his rating), but I can understand why he's rated a 94.

Ratings seem high in general for this years game.

Davis looks great not sure how you can complain when he even has his abnormally wide shoulders finally. He has the best model, other than LeBron, that I've seen so far.

I hear ya on Parker. But before he got hurt again he looked pretty dang good.
And if we're going off past injury history, Embiid should be a 60.

I said nothing about his body model. I think it looks good (upper body at least). I clearly mentioned the skin tone being off, like a lot of guys.

Skin in this years game looks off to me. They look more like animated wax figures than humans. And they still haven't fixed Davis's awkward double chin looking neck area.

Wax figures - the perfect way to describe 2k's player models. They are spot on and even lifelike but lack muscle tone , definition , and imperfections .

These ratings, and who is on this list, basically show how non-existent the PF position is in today's NBA.

Gotta remember that KAT is considered a center, but would likely be the best PF if moved there.

THIS. Makes his face look way too fat. This is killing me with AD.
Body looks good though.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite know how to respond to this and I'm definitely not getting your point.....

Davis was scanned...he can get that non fat double chin depending on the angle.

Giving him his longer beard would fix it up though....

So we gonna act like Zach Randolph is better than Ibaka?

He would add depth to the position if he was at his correct spot.

Exactly, I forgot all about him but he's definitely better than Randolph, Parker and probably Dirk.
from Bills Backer/Spurs Nation HQ

Man, how did I forget about Serge.. He was putting up similar stats to Aldridge and Zinger before he got traded to Toronto and became only the 3rd option on offense. He definitely should be within the 7/8/9 range on that list.

Did not see Al Horford listed for top 10 center or PF. That ain't right!

People complain about EVERYTHING.
The model looks great and the ratings are good too.

Ibaka is trash y'all.

That's a sad list..PF position is worse than the supposedly dead center position. Ibaka is not that good anymore, but might deserve to be on the list. Horford as well.

Personal preference;
EAs Davis > 2Ks Davis
This one just looks a little "chunky" IMO.

Horford will be listed at center. He should be a bit better than Myles Turner but if they're the same rating then that isn't too bad.

Nope. Sorry :)

Actually his 3rd and you cant drop his ratings without seeing him play again...

Giannis should be listed as a PF his year. He's going to be playing that position most of the season due to parkers injury
Brogdon
Snell
Middleton
Giannis
Maker

I'd bet he's at center. Raps played him at the 5 a lot last year because JV can't close games. He also said he's more comfortable at center and the Raps have been trying to trade JV and start Serge at the 5.

Horford is 100% listed at center.

Nah I doubt it. 2K usually goes by what position the player starts the game at and he only started a handful of games at C in the playoffs.
He's very likely an 80, which is fine, but that means several other guys on there are pretty overrated in comparison.

It's definitely only his 2nd torn ACL unless he tore it in middle school or something.

He's not better than Davis even if he was moved to PF. His defense still isn't there yet , he's a great offensive big tho.

Top 8 is spot on. I would replace Randolph and Dirk with Ibaka and Ryan Anderson but they are probably still either a 79 or 80

He's more durable, more versatile on offense, bigger and stronger. He's the better player in my mind and I'd build a team around him before any other Kentucky big man.
from Bills Backer/Spurs Nation HQ

First of all the only thing right here is more durable . They're basically the same size , Davis has put on muscle since his rookie year. KAT is barley an inch taller than him and Davis outweighs him by like 7 pounds.
Davis is also very versatile on offense the gap isn't that big between like I said Davis is a far superior defender than KAT is .

Not knocking KAT but Davis is better than him right now , KAT has the potential to be so that's not a lie.
Davis PER since his 2nd year in the league
26.5
30.8
25.0
27.5
Man imagine the defense the wolves would have with Butler and Davis being coached by Thibs.

KAT is a legit 7' and probably close to 250 or 260, while Davis is probably around 235 - 245. Anyway, in my opinion (see that key word) KAT is the better player and Davis' defense is overrated. He is a great shot blocker, has great quickness, but can be overpowered by bigger 4's/5's and his team defense isn't nearly as good as his individual.
Anyway, KAT is better than him to me....
from Bills Backer/Spurs Nation HQ

Off topic but I see KAT and Davis becoming the new Prime KG vs Tim Duncan discussion . Which is really cool

Overrated defense but still miles better than KATs lol

Yea should be fun only separated by 2 years in age

New Ant Davis face scan

How can you tell? I can't see that at all. Damn. Maybe I'm blind.

We need an underrated PF who's clearly better than at least one of them that nobody ever talks about to fill the shoes of... Dirk Nowitzki. Who shall it be?

I'm wondering that too. I want to say his beard is thicker but I may be imagining things, lol

Porzingis fits in perfectly

Kris Humphries :lol:
