NBA 2K15 Power Forward Ratings (1/19/15)

POWER FORWARD (78)
1-10
95 (+7) Anthony Davis (31.3 PER, 62 TS%, 26 USG%, 9 AST%, 36 MPG)
89 (+1) LaMarcus Aldridge (22.4 PER, 52 TS%, 30 USG%, 10 AST%, 36 MPG)
89 (-1) Tim Duncan (21.9 PER, 53 TS%, 24 USG%, 18 AST%, 31 MPG)
88 (-1) Blake Griffin (22.5 PER, 55 TS%, 30 USG%, 25 AST%, 36 MPG)
88 (NC) Dirk Nowitzki (21.1 PER, 57 TS%, 27 USG%, 12 AST%, 30 MPG)
86 (+3) Pau Gasol (22.3 PER, 53 TS%, 25 USG%, 12 AST%, 35 MPG)
86 (+2) Zach Randolph (21.1 PER, 54 TS%, 25 USG%, 8 AST%, 32 MPG)
86 (+1) Paul Millsap (19.5 PER, 56 TS%, 24 USG%, 16 AST%, 34 MPG)
86 (-3) Kevin Love (19.0 PER, 56 TS%, 22 USG%, 11 AST%, 36 MPG)
83 (+3) Greg Monroe (20.1 PER, 54 TS%, 24 USG%, 12 AST%, 30 MPG)

Pau Gasol has been nothing short of spectacular in January, averaging 22.7 PPG and 12.4 RPG while shooting 52% (compared to 16.4 PPG on 45%).  That includes a career high 46 points against the Bucks last week.  He's the top big man in the Eastern Conference and it isn't particularly close.

Greg Monroe has picked up his level of play since Josh Smith's departure from Detroit.  Monroe is averaging 16.2 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 3.0 APG in January (compared to 15.1 PPG, 8.4 RPG, and 1.3 APG in December).

11-20
83 (+6) Draymond Green (16.0 PER, 54 TS%, 17 USG%, 16 AST%, 32 MPG)
82 (NC) David Lee (20.1 PER, 56 TS%, 23 USG%, 11 AST%, 20 MPG)
81 (+1) Taj Gibson (16.8 PER, 55 TS%, 18 USG%, 8 AST%, 18 MPG)
81 (-3) Serge Ibaka (16.6 PER, 56 TS%, 20 USG%, 5 AST%, 33 MPG)
80 (+3) Amare Stoudemire (19.5 PER, 59 TS%, 23 USG%, 7 AST%, 26 MPG)
80 (+2) Jared Sullinger (18.0 PER, 52 TS%, 22 USG%, 13 AST%, 29 MPG)
80 (-1) Kenneth Faried (18.0 PER, 56 TS%, 20 USG%, 8 AST%, 27 MPG)
79 (+1) Markieff Morris (17.1 PER, 55 TS%, 23 USG%, 11 AST%, 31 MPG)
79 (-1) David West (16.5 PER, 50 TS%, 23 USG%, 21 AST%, 29 MPG)
79 (+2) Ryan Anderson (16.4 PER, 54 TS%, 23 USG%, 6 AST%, 29 MPG)

Kenneth Faried has turned his season around, averaging 11.8 RPG in January, up from 9.2 in December and 6.5 in November.

21-30
78 (+3) Enes Kanter (17.3 PER, 55 TS%, 25 USG%, 4 AST%, 27 MPG)
78 (+2) Tristan Thompson (16.4 PER, 58 TS%, 15 USG%, 3 AST%, 29 MPG)
78 (+1) Luis Scola (15.6 PER, 50 TS%, 23 USG%, 13 AST%, 21 MPG)
78 (-2) Nene (15.5 PER, 53 TS%, 22 USG%, 13 AST%, 25 MPG)
78 (NC) Boris Diaw (12.8 PER, 53 TS%, 17 USG%, 20 AST%, 26 MPG)
77 (+5) Marreese Speights (21.4 PER, 57 TS%, 29 USG%, 9 AST%, 19 MPG)
77 (+2) Nikola Mirotic (17.2 PER, 57 TS%, 19 USG%, 10 AST%, 18 MPG)
77 (-1) Carlos Boozer (17.0 PER, 54 TS%, 23 USG%, 9 AST%, 25 MPG)
77 (+9) Lavoy Allen (15.9 PER, 51 TS%, 15 USG%, 10 AST%, 22 MPG)
77 (NC) Amir Johnson (15.7 PER, 61 TS%, 16 USG%, 9 AST%, 27 MPG)

Boris Diaw continues to struggle with his shot, as his shooting percentages from 3PT (33%) and 2PT (51%) dwarf last season's marks.

Marreese Speights headlines a short list of the top backup PFs in the league.  What's crazy is that with a healthy David Lee the Warriors actually have two of them.

31-40
77 (NC) J.J. Hickson (15.1 PER, 54 TS%, 20 USG%, 7 AST%, 20 MPG)
77 (+2) Patrick Patterson (14.9 PER, 59 TS%, 13 USG%, 10 AST%, 26 MPG)
77 (NC) Kevin Garnett (14.9 PER, 49 TS%, 18 USG%, 14 AST%, 22 MPG)
77 (+1) Channing Frye (8.8 PER, 54 TS%, 13 USG%, 7 AST%, 30 MPG)
76 (+1) Carl Landry (16.0 PER, 59 TS%, 19 USG%, 4 AST%, 19 MPG)
76 (+5) Jonas Jerebko (15.2 PER, 58 TS%, 17 USG%, 9 AST%, 16 MPG)
76 (+4) Mike Scott (14.7 PER, 56 TS%, 23 USG%, 11 AST%, 15 MPG)
76 (-2) Thaddeus Young (13.9 PER, 47 TS%, 22 USG%, 14 AST%, 32 MPG)
75 (+2) Ersan Ilyasova (16.0 PER, 53 TS%, 24 USG%, 9 AST%, 18 MPG)
75 (NC) Brandon Bass (15.5 PER, 53 TS%, 22 USG%, 9 AST%, 19 MPG)

Channing Frye is shooting 39% from 3PT and only 38% from 2PT. Even as a specialist on the Suns he was more well-rounded than this (51 2PT% last year, 47% for career).

41-50
75 (+1) Trevor Booker (15.2 PER, 55 TS%, 15 USG%, 7 AST%, 19 MPG)
75 (-5) Josh Smith (13.5 PER, 43 TS%, 26 USG%, 23 AST%, 29 MPG)
75 (+2) Cody Zeller (13.5 PER, 54 TS%, 16 USG%, 9 AST%, 24 MPG)
75 (+1) Reggie Evans (11.5 PER, 49 TS%, 13 USG%, 5 AST%, 19 MPG)
74 (+1) Kris Humphries (15.3 PER, 51 TS%, 19 USG%, 7 AST%, 21 MPG)
74 (+4) Kyle O'Quinn (14.9 PER, 56 TS%, 18 USG%, 11 AST%, 19 MPG)
74 (+5) Donatas Motiejunas (13.1 PER, 56 TS%, 18 USG%, 10 AST%, 28 MPG)
74 (+5) Jon Leuer (12.7 PER, 49 TS%, 18 USG%, 9 AST%, 16 MPG)
74 (+4) Shawne Williams (12.5 PER, 61 TS%, 14 USG%, 7 AST%, 22 MPG)
74 (NC) Glen Davis (11.9 PER, 53 TS%, 16 USG%, 6 AST%, 10 MPG)

Josh Smith (DET): 14.2 PER, 42 TS%, 25 USG%, 25 AST%
Josh Smith (HOU): 11.6 PER, 45 TS%, 26 USG%, 16 AST%
This guy is still allowed to shoot?  Houston would do well to bury him once Terrence Jones gets healthy.

Kris Humphries has picked up his game, averaging 9.4 PPG (20.8 MPG) on 53.6 FG% since Christmas.

51-60
74 (-2) Nerlens Noel (11.1 PER, 45 TS%, 16 USG%, 9 AST%, 30 MPG)
74 (+3) Mirza Teletovic (10.9 PER, 50 TS%, 20 USG%, 8 AST%, 23 MPG)
74 (+2) Jason Smith (10.9 PER, 48 TS%, 21 USG%, 10 AST%, 18 MPG)
74 (+1) Marvin Williams (10.9 PER, 55 TS%, 13 USG%, 8 AST%, 25 MPG)
74 (+1) Matt Bonner (10.7 PER, 54 TS%, 14 USG%, 8 AST%, 16 MPG)
74 (NC) Josh McRoberts (10.3 PER, 61 TS%, 13 USG%, 18 AST%, 17 MPG)
73 (+4) Charlie Villanueva (20.2 PER, 58 TS%, 28 USG%, 4 AST%, 8 MPG)
73 (NC) Anthony Tolliver (10.4 PER, 55 TS%, 16 USG%, 5 AST%, 12 MPG)
73 (-1) Nick Collison (9.8 PER, 48 TS%, 14 USG%, 13 AST%, 17 MPG)
73 (+1) Udonis Haslem (9.8 PER, 47 TS%, 16 USG%, 7 AST%, 15 MPG)

Mirza Teletovic is mired in a miserable shooting slump, shooting only 29.7% from the field over his last 15 games.

Charlie Villaneuva is having a resurgent season, though it's been in limited playing time.

Anthony Tolliver has been much more effective for the spacing-starved Pistons (15.3 PER, 59 TS%) than he was for the Suns (7.8 PER, 52 TS%).

61-78
73 (-2) Jason Thompson (9.1 PER, 50 TS%, 12 USG%, 6 AST%, 25 MPG)
72 (+3) Tarik Black (13.9 PER, 58 TS%, 14 USG%, 4 AST%, 16 MPG)
72 (-1) Tyler Hansbrough (10.6 PER, 53 TS%, 10 USG%, 3 AST%, 14 MPG)
72 (-3) Thomas Robinson (9.1 PER, 49 TS%, 18 USG%, 3 AST%, 11 MPG)
71 (+2) Darrell Arthur (13.7 PER, 51 TS%, 21 USG%, 11 AST%, 18 MPG)
71 (+1) Anthony Bennett (12.0 PER, 46 TS%, 18 USG%, 9 AST%, 17 MPG)
71 (NC) Andrew Nicholson (6.6 PER, 40 TS%, 22 USG%, 7 AST%, 9 MPG)
71 (NC) Ryan Kelly (6.0 PER, 48 TS%, 13 USG%, 6 AST%, 16 MPG)
70 (+3) Quincy Acy (11.9 PER, 58 TS%, 14 USG%, 8 AST%, 22 MPG)
70 (NC) Drew Gooden (8.3 PER, 45 TS%, 18 USG%, 8 AST%, 12 MPG)
69 (+1) Joel Freeland (11.6 PER, 51 TS%, 13 USG%, 5 AST%, 14 MPG)
69 (+1) Hedo Turkoglu (9.4 PER, 64 TS%, 12 USG%, 8 AST%, 9 MPG)
68 (NC) Dante Cunningham (8.4 PER, 51 TS%, 10 USG%, 2 AST%, 24 MPG)
68 (NC) Jason Maxiell (8.4 PER, 43 TS%, 12 USG%, 2 AST%, 14 MPG)
67 (NC) Johnny O'Bryant (4.9 PER, 42 TS%, 19 USG%, 7 AST%, 13 MPG)
66 (NEW) Cory Jefferson (11.2 PER, 47 TS%, 19 USG%, 6 AST%, 10 MPG)
66 (NC) Malcolm Thomas (9.8 PER, 53 TS%, 12 USG%, 7 AST%, 11 MPG)
66 (NEW) Travis Wear (9.3 PER, 49 TS%, 19 USG%, 9 AST%, 13 MPG)

Tarik Black is probably going to make the Rockets regret releasing him in favor of Josh Smith.

Quincy Acy has started taking (and making) three-pointers (8-18 over the last month), which I suppose means he's going to find a way to stick as a role player in the NBA.

Joel Freeland has been playing ahead of Thomas Robinson dating back to last season.  T-Rob recently was nerfed but he's still rated above Freeland.

LESS THAN 150 MINUTES (17)
78 (+1) Terrence Jones (19.1 PER, 56 TS%, 22 USG%, 10 AST%, 29 MPG)
76 (NC) Julius Randle (-7.5 PER, 26 TS%, 15 USG%, 0 AST%, 14 MPG)
72 (+1) Jarnell Stokes (12.9 PER, 51 TS%, 18 USG%, 3 AST%, 6 MPG)
72 (NC) Noah Vonleh (11.4 PER, 45 TS%, 16 USG%, 3 AST%, 8 MPG)
72 (-2) Andrei Kirilenko (2.8 PER, 22 TS%, 10 USG%, 4 AST%, 5 MPG)
71 (NC) Adreian Payne (2.9 PER, 32 TS%, 19 USG%, 0 AST%, 6 MPG)
70 (NC) Jeremy Evans (21.4 PER, 55 TS%, 15 USG%, 7 AST%, 5 MPG)
70 (NC) Kenyon Martin (11.7 PER, 60 TS%, 18 USG%, 12 AST%, 5 MPG)
69 (+1) Mitch McGary (12.4 PER, 80 TS%, 25 USG%, 0 AST%, 7 MPG)
69 (-2) DeJuan Blair (8.5 PER, 56 TS%, 22 USG%, 13 AST%, 5 MPG)
67 (NEW) Dwight Powell (21.0 PER, 72 TS%, 19 USG%, 9 AST%, 5 MPG)
67 (NC) Louis Amundson (6.1 PER, 47 TS%, 12 USG%, 9 AST%, 7 MPG)
67 (+1) Cameron Bairstow (1.1 PER, 25 TS%, 13 USG%, 3 AST%, 5 MPG)
67 (NEW) Grant Jerrett (-9.3 PER, 22 TS%, 33 USG%, 6 AST%, 6 MPG)
67 (NEW) Clint Capela (-25.3 PER, 0 TS%, 46 USG%, 11 AST%, 3 MPG)
65 (NC) Eric Moreland (41.5 PER, 100 TS%, 22 USG%, 0 AST%, 1 MPG)
