Chriss had an up and down season.

There were flashes where offensively he looked alive and brought his great athleticism to the table by great plays that left fans hyped.

Defensively though, he lacked the discipline and focus which prevented him from having a good rookie campaign instead of a solid one.

Next: Were the 2007-08 Phoenix Suns a superteam?

Through it all, he still nabbed a 2nd team All-Rookie spot. So, the bump up in the ratings is justified. As the season progresses, he can further prove his case to go from 76 towards 80 which isn’t a hard feat to climb. He’ll have opportunities to shine in the frontcourt and hopefully he’ll be knocking on the door to guys like Clint Capela, Zach Randolph, and Zach LaVine, who are all 79, 80, and 80 in 2K ratings respectively.

Just Right
