Break down rating for Okafor

[VlaDiv]

I give him 68 in my dynasty. About as good as Antonio Davis even though just a rookie.

What you all think he will be? I mean like FG, FT, 3PT, DUNK, STR, SPEED, all ratings, STEAL BLOCK I think block is 99.

Talk to me.

Wussup Vlade, here's a scouting report on Okafor:

A defensive stalwart... Will block alot of shots and grab alot of rebounds... Great positioning and timing... Very intelligent.. Bad free-throw shooter...Must keep on developing his offensive game..

I don't know if I'd go as far as to make him a 99 in blocks, I mean that's Ben Wallace status. But I think somewhere between 79 and 85 would be sufficient because of course, we haven't seen him against NBA competiton yet...... Until I see him it will be hard for me to assess what would be fair ratings for each category.......

Kind of makes you wonder how EA determines their rookie ratings right? Hope I have been some kind of help.......

Okafor is no 99 in blocks, maybe in March Madness 2004--but not in NBA Live. Make his blocks an 80 at most. Not to mention he'll be one of the weaker centers in the game as well.

[VlaDiv]

Ok so his block rating is just enough to get the BIG HAND on his name like 75 to 80... but what about his overall??

I think the 68 you spotted is pretty correct. Anyway, time will tell and anyway, Andrew & Ben will modify it if it's not satisfying

FG, FT, 3PT, DUNK, STR, SPEED, all ratings, STEAL BLOCK

FG - 80 [inside his range he's an 80 shooter, and his range is like 12']
3PT - 5
FT - 55
Dunk - 75
Strength - 80
Speed - 74
Quickness - 74
Steal - 51
Block - 86
Def Awareness - 85

........that's some things, his overall should range from 68-72

[hmm]
