In a Slump

Kobe Bryant - OVR 83 (-3) - Kobe's age is showing and his play is declining. Will he turn it around in his final year?

Zach Randolph - OVR 84 (-2) - Randolph has been struggling to find consistency this year.
Roy Hibbert - OVR 83 (-2) - HIbbert has a great opportunity to grab more rebounds with all the Lakers' missed shots this year, but it hasn't been happening.
Nick Young - OVR 80 (-1) - It just hasn't been good for the Lakers this year.

Rookies on the move

Jerian Grant - OVR 75 (+2) - He's been very productive off the bench, playing limited minutes.
Kristaps Porzingis - OVR 83 (+1) - The fan-favorite continues to prove just about everyone wrong.
Karl-Anthony Towns - OVR 87 (+1) - Towns is already the best player on his team by a longshot.
Jahlil Okafor - OVR 79 (+1) - Okafor is also the best player on his team. He just needs to stay out of trouble.
Emmanuel Mudiay - OVR 73 (+1) - He's been a solid contributor as a starter for Denver - Just needs to cut down on turnovers.

EA hasn't been good about detailing what the 'data' update adds. I believe this usually includes jerseys, courts, or faces. On a quick scan, I did not see any new uniforms in the game.

Last week they added Luke Walton as the Warriors' head coach and I noticed today that they have Sam Mitchell as the T-Wolves head coach. I don't know when the Mitchell addition occurred, however.

I wonder if the data update are the Xmas uniforms to be unlocked in a week or two? Just a guess there.
