NBA 2K19 will be out on September 11 for PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Plenty of trailers has been shown and sneak peaks of game play and certain game modes got people hyped about the game. But when talking about ratings, there will always be a debate of who's high and who's low, who's gotten lower than expected and who is over rated. People have their own opinions about this topic and different point of views. Today I am going to discuss you some players who's worth more than their ratings.
Clint Capela
Clint Capela has an overall rating of 84. That rating was high but should be higher for a player like Capela. After the departure of Dwight Howard in Houston, Clint Capela immediately showed what he's capable of. Capela is a defensive minded center but can get in the right position to finish an easy layup or dunk. He is being compared to DeAndre Jordan but a younger and a better version. Capela was so athletic that he can catch lobs easily and protect the rim consistently with his length and athleticism.
Capela recently signed a five-year extension with the Rockets and will be part of their future. He's only 23 years olad and had a lot of room to grow. Capela played at an all-star level averaging 13.9 points per game, 10.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks. He also lead the league in Field Goal percentage. He even provides the things that couldn't be seen in the stat sheets. His presence alone can affect the shot of a driving opponent either its a layup of a floater. He's one of the most outstanding defender in the NBA and with that kind of talent, he deserves a 90 or even higher.
Kemba Walker
Kemba Walker had finished a phenomenal season last year earning his second all-star selection after he averaged 22.1 points per game, 5.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game for the Charlotte Hornets. His handles are underrated and I can even compare his handles to Kyrie Irving. He can run the offense consistently and can match with top tier point guards like John Wall and Damian Lillard. I think rating an all-star point guard lower than three rookies coming into their 2nd season was very disrespectful. If he will be traded to a contender I think it can affect his popularity a lot because being in a mediocre team makes a player lacks exposure.
DeMarcus Cousins
DeMarcus Cousins is arguably the best center in the league right now. He can bully underneath the basket, he can drive to the basket, he can work on the post, he can shoot mid-range jumpers and he can shoot the three ball. He can also defend well. He can do everything. And he can do it all consistently night in and night out. The 28-year old center can dominate the game offensively and torture his opponents every night. Defenders will struggle against him because he can shoot from long range and the opponent should guard him from the perimeter and it will be an advantage for him especially against slow big men.
Cousins is already unstoppable in real life so he must be higher than 90 in NBA 2K. He should be 94 or more. I think 2K did this because he came from an injury and no one knows if he's still the DeMarcus Cousins that dominated the game like last year.
