Hello people, this will be (I hope) the first of many analysis between our rating system and 2k rating system. For this I literally took out every rating of every D5 player on any roster and compared them to their respective 2k rating.
Now I know 2K ratings are far from perfect, but it's still the most accurate resourse we can compare our ratings to.
Today we'll start with the Top 10 "Underrated" and Top 10 "Overrated" players. The rules are simple, the bigger the difference between our ratings and 2K ratings, the higher the player will be on list, with a catch that each point value is higher the better the rating of the player is. For example, the difference between a player who is 75 in D5 and a 78 in 2K is lower than a player that is a 82 on D5 and a 85 on 2K.
Simple enough right? Hope so cause I'm not that good of a teacher to being explaining this.
Top 10 underrated players: 1 - Donovan Mitchell 2 - D'Angelo Russell 3 - Damyean Dotson 4 - Ante Zizic 5 - Zach LaVine 6 - Damian Jones 7 - Pascal Siakam 8 - Jusuf Nurkic 9 - Bojan Bogdanovic 10 - Emmanuel Mudiay
Top 10 overrated players:
1 - DeMarcus Cousins 2 - Russell Westbrook 3 - Chris Paul 4 - Jerryd Bayless 5 - Isaiah Thomas 6 - Kyle Lowry 7 - Eric Gordon 8 - Pau Gasol 9 - Markieff Morris 10 - Courtney Lee
Just to be clear there is already stockwatch threads on multiple players on this rankings, they being: D'Angelo Russel, DeMarcus Cousins, Chris Paul, Pau Gasol and IT. But I can't do this daily and the database used will be the one that we had at the begging of April.
Feel free to take any conclusions away from it and create stockwatch threads. I'll be back with team and league-wide analysis. And I would also appreciate if you vote on the poll above this post. The votes will be revealed next Sunday.

IMO this is dumb because we have an entirely different rating system. You’re comparing NBA 2K19 to NBA Live 06. 13 years apart is an eternity in technology, it’s like comparing two completely unrelated things. These comparisons are worthless IMO.

That's 100% true but when people are giving out ratings on the stockwatch I'm almost we're voting base on what we believe they should be, and some of us use 2K has reference in 2K since some of us were pretty young back then (I was 10) at the time of Live 06, and it's not like Live ratings are perfect either, all you need to do check the most recent NBA live ratings. Like I said, it would be completely dumb if our Rankings were given based on players strengths and weaknesses and their overall was just a reflection of those stats, not based on an overall and then adjust the stats to make sure it is at the same level as the stockwatch. But currently we are voting based on overall, not on players strengths and weaknesses. For there to be no correlation at all our stockwatch should like this: Inside: Outside: Rebounds: Passing: Dribbling: Etc, etc

Poll is over after with a tie between Bojan, Russel and Siakam. I personally voted for Mitchell but should have changed it after his stockwatch
Bojan also got his and Russel just recently got his 2nd of the season.
Maybe it's time for Siakam to get his. He will be after the NBA's most improved player of the year. And if anyone deserves to have 2 rating threads in the same year it's the player that wins that award.
