Thoughts on Wemby being higher than Paolo?



Now I hope nobody actually bases their opinion on 2k ratings but I’m wondering what makes him better than Paolo

Like yea he’s a better defender and rebounder

P5 is a better scorer/shot creator, passer, and offensive initiator

I like Wemby this isn’t a post to spread hate, but I’ll admit it lowkey annoyed me. Same rating sure but higher… no way based off of last seasons play…

Paolo averaged 27 pts 8.6 boards 4 assist in the playoffs… against a top 10 defensive team in his second season
This just seems disrespectful

    Man and I saw that post about Paolo being an Aaron Gordon… he averaged over 10 more points than ags best playoffs.
    Why is the guy getting compared to role players
    Hope he gets his respect this year

    It’s probably not fair on paper but honestly I think wemby should be higher

    Big men have always had an easier path to high overalls in 2k. Add in higher than average ratings in places big men don’t usually have and you get an inflated overall rating

    It’s fine. Look we just need to expect that Wemby is going to get the hype without even leading his team to 30 wins and Paolo is going to have to earn it on the court. Not fair, but think of how sweet it will be when PB is a top 5 guy and the Spurs are still trying to get to .500.

    We won’t have this issue once Paolo wins finals MVP this year

    Paolo should be 99 don’t @ me

    Wemby brings more to the table with his defense. I’m a magic fan so I also meat ride, but this sub meat rides Paolo like he’s the next lebron. 89 is perfect for both of them in my eyes. But not surprised Wemby is 91

    My only thought is that you’re an idiot if you actually care about this kind of thing

    It’s fine. As optimistic as I am for Paolo, Wemby is truly a generational talent.

    Wemby is already a really good player. Just as good as the rest of the 90-92 OVRs? Probably not, but among them he is clearly the most *popular*. 2k wants to incentivize people to buy their newest version so they’re gonna roll out the shiniest toys they think people want to play with.

    2k ratings nowadays are just so inflated anyways. Bron was an 88 OVR in his second year, and he was probably better his rookie season than Wemby is rn.

    Rightly or wrongly, he’s the league’s new golden boy. He was always going to be higher than Paolo.

    It’s a joke. Just like Colorado being a top 25 team in the college football game.

  13. I have no problem with that. Wemby is a freak. And I believe Paolo is not only fantastic but is set to take a leap this year.

  14. Because Wemby is on that Jordan/Lebron level

  15. SnooRabbits6267

    If you replaced Paolo with Wemby on last years squad, they would be better with Wemby. Paolo is awesome but Wemby was probably a top 10 player in the second half of the season.

    I don’t think you can be too high on Wemby. I fully expect him to be the goat tbh

  17. escapedhousefly

    Wemby is great. Don’t think it’s too crazy that he’s higher than Paolo with all his skills. I’m just glad that dude is in the West.

  18. _picture_me_rollin_

    Wtf Halliburton?!? He had maybe one or two good months then played like shit the rest of the season. Paolo is indubitably better.

  19. Residual-Heat

    I dont really care about 2k ratings, but i would assume if you add a top 20 player to a team that their wins go up? Spurs won the same 22 games total they did with Wemby as the season prior without him…
