NBA 2K14 Roster Analysis 11/13/13 - Julius Erving pt. 2 + four added players
Today's NBA 2K roster brings us four additional players: Luigi Datome, Nick Calathes, Dionte Christmas, and Ian Clark, as well as the addition of "Dr. J" Julius Erving to the 1985 Philadelphia 76ers team.
However anytime 2K focuses on one area of the roster it seems they fall behind in others.
Lance Thomas is still a member of the Pelicans despite being waived in favor of Lou Amundson and Josh Childress. Arnize Onuaku was also waived in real life, decreasing 2K's missing NBA player count to 18. Jamaal Tinsley was likewise waived by the Jazz (Diante Garrett will likely take his place) but is still on the team.
Steve Nash is still active despite being out indefinitely with his injuries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the big story of the day is Erving's addition to the 1985 team, I also noticed a rating change to his 1977 version. Previously I had made a big stink about Erving's SOD rating and how it was a gameplay killer. Turns out 2K heard that and made an adjustment.
Julius Erving - 1977
97 Overall (+1)
81 SOD (+46)
One NBA legend down, 440 NBA players to go, eh?

To be honest I find this version much more realistic and hope that they apply some of the changes (most importantly, the Ball Handling decrease) to the 1977 version since I'm sure that's still the version that would be made available in MyTeam.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED PLAYERS
Nick Calathes (62/PG) - Grizzlies
Ian Clark (64/SG) - Jazz
Luigi Datome (67/SF) - Pistons
Dionte Christmas (66/SG) - Suns
Luigi Datome was added to the Detroit Pistons, but international basketball fans were quick to point out that Datome, like Vitor Faverani, has the face of Antonis Fotsis (Credit: Sportando).
While the Pistons have been playing Kyle Singler over Datome, Singler is underrated in NBA 2K and Datome rates out as a much better shooter and athlete. Datome will consequently see far more use in online games.
Datome vs Singler
78 Medium (+6)
88 FT(+8)
72 Dunk (+12)
73 Handle (+8)
70 Speed (+4)
Of course I would still run with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as my backup SF but that's just me!
Nick Calathes is a big PG, capable of playing SG if necessary. With his 80 pass rating, he has good synergy with shoot-first combo guard Jerryd Bayless.
Dionte Christmas is a slasher with 78 3pt rating which immediately makes him more valuable than Archie Goodwin (58 3pt rating) or P.J. Tucker (35 3pt rating) to most practical Suns players (if any exist).
Ian Clark is a shooter and not much else. His 84 3pt ranks 3rd highest on the Jazz but with 25 dunk (the lowest among all SGs) you'll be hard pressed to finish with him. Think of him as John Lucas with worse handle (playing him out of position as a backup PG may not be a bad idea).
MISSING PLAYERS - 15
Hollis Thompson (SF) - 76ers
