I was thinking about this last night before i went to bed. And now i'm really interested to see how they compare after all the scenarios i thought of (i always get my ideas before sleep for some reason). So let's see...
We'll leave out 'technical attributes', since it doesn't apply to NBA players, as they're not soccer players, haha. And i'll chuck in 'size/height' to physical attributes since it's such an important factor in basetkball (though should i do height by position? Or height by all standards? I'll go all standards for now, since it would look silly for Jason Kidd to have an 18 for height wth Bryant having a 13.). Also i put an * next to ratings i'm not so sure about. As for rating standards, if you're not familiar with FM: 16-20 is high (though there is quite a difference between 16 and 20), 11-15 is decent (11, 12 and 13 is more decent. 15 is good), 6-10 is below average, and 1-5 is low. You pretty much could've been your own judge by the colours, but anyway. Alrightie...

^ And that's why JR Smith hasn't been able to make an impact in the NBA despite his talent. Maybe if he'd gone to college he would have developed in those areas.

It gives me more of an appriciation for the stars of the NBA. As their success is because of more than just skills and athleticsm. I'd never really thought so much about the mental side of it.
Therefore i think this rating system would be beneficial to any sports game, particularly NBA, as mental ability seperates the good players from the superstars.
Feel free to add more or repost mine! I'll probably add more as i think of more interesting players.
But it lacks shooting and ballhandling skills and so on....
