Rebounding requires a number of elements, including athleticism, positioning, and instincts.

Here are the five best rebounders in NBA LIVE 15.

KEVIN LOVE
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
95 REB


Love finished third in the NBA with 12.5 RPG, including a league-high 9.6 DRPG. He turns defensive rebounds into transition opportunities thanks to his great outlet passing.

DEANDRE JORDAN
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
94 REB


Despite playing alongside fellow double-double machine Blake Griffin, Jordan still led the NBA in rebounding with a whopping 13.6 per game.

ANDRE DRUMMOND
DETROIT PISTONS
94 REB


Nobody crashes the offensive glass harder than Drummond, who lapped the NBA with 5.4 ORPG (next best: 4.0) to go with his 13.2 RPG.

DWIGHT HOWARD
HOUSTON ROCKETS
92 REB


The five-time rebounding champion "only" hauled in 12.2 RPG in his first year with the Rockets, his lowest output since his rookie season. With better health, look for Howard to finish in the 13-14 range again.

JOAKIM NOAH
CHICAGO BULLS
91 REB


In a word, relentless. Noah's tenacity on the defensive end contributed to career-highs across the board, including 11.3 RPG. As a result, he was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

[h2]Top Stealers in NBA LIVE 15[/h2]
Posted October 7th at 6:09pm.

nba-live-ratings-steal-header.jpg


Turnovers are key in any game, and timely steals can lead to easy baskets on the other end.

Here are the five best stealers in NBA LIVE 15.

nba-live-ratings-steal-rubio.jpg


RICKY RUBIO
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES
96 STEAL


Last year's steals leader (190) claims the top spot in our rankings. He was one of the few bright spots on one of the league's worst defensive teams. Look for a much more active Timberwolves defense thanks to the athleticism of players like Andrew Wiggins and Thaddeus Young.

CHRIS PAUL
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
95 STEAL


Paul is a four-time All-Defensive First Teamer, and has led the league in steals a whopping six times. His 2.48 STPG were tops in the NBA in 2013-14.

nba-live-ratings-steal-allen.jpg


TONY ALLEN
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
95 STEAL


Allen doesn't get the steal opportunities like other players on this list, but still picks pockets at a high rate according to Synergy Sports.

nba-live-ratings-steal-rondo.jpg


RAJON RONDO
BOSTON CELTICS
92 STEAL


Rondo had a down year by his standards, but still has a nose for the ball thanks to his large hands and length at the point guard position.

nba-live-ratings-steal-leonard.jpg


KAWHI LEONARD
SAN ANTONIO SPURS
91 STEAL


Leonard is NBA LIVE 15's best on-ball defender and a top-ten stealer in his own right, averaging 1.73 in 66 games last season.

Speed can make the difference on both ends of the floor, especially in transition.

Learn more about the five fastest players in NBA LIVE 15.

nba-live-ratings-speed-westbrook.jpg


RUSSELL WESTBROOK
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
97 SPD


After two surgeries, Westbrook returned after the All-Star Break showing the same explosiveness that made him one of the league's most exciting players. He moves just as fast with the ball as he does without it.

nba-live-ratings-speed-wall.jpg


JOHN WALL
WASHINGTON WIZARDS
96 SPD


Any player that's attempted to defend John Wall can attest to both his pure speed and quickness. He's put some control on his athleticism, but is still a burner on the court.

nba-live-ratings-speed-bledsoe.jpg


ERIC BLEDSOE
PHOENIX SUNS
96 SPD


Bledsoe looks to have been a perfect fit for the wide-open Suns. With Isaiah Thomas coming aboard, the Suns look to have the fastest backcourt in the league.

nba-live-ratings-speed-rose.jpg


DERRICK ROSE
CHICAGO BULLS
96 SPD


While Rose is still rusty in other aspects of his game, he looks to have kept his speed after a lengthy hiatus. Here's to a healthy season, Mr. Rose.

nba-live-ratings-speed-lawson.jpg


TY LAWSON
DENVER NUGGETS
95 SPD


Lawson , one of the league's fastest players, is currently recovering from a knee injury. However, chances are good that he'll remain one of the NBA's top speedsters.
 
The ratings reveal goes through next week.

[h2]Top Duos in NBA LIVE 15[/h2]
Posted October 9th at 4:41pm.

nba-live-ratings-duos-header.jpg


The NBA has always been dominated by dynamic duos or, more recently, "Big Threes."

Here are the five best teammate duos in NBA LIVE 15.

nba-live-ratings-duos-clippers.jpg


CHRIS PAUL & BLAKE GRIFFIN
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
185 OVR (PAUL - 94, GRIFFIN - 91)


The backbone of Lob City has completely changed the culture of the entire Clippers organization. The Clippers are among the favorites in the Western Conference alongside San Antonio and Oklahoma City.

nba-live-ratings-duos-thunder.jpg


KEVIN DURANT & RUSSELL WESTBROOK
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
185 OVR (DURANT - 94, WESTBROOK - 91)


OKC has been knocking at the door the last few seasons, but hasn't returned to the NBA Finals since their five-game loss in 2012. Is this the year?

nba-live-ratings-duos-cavs.jpg


LEBRON JAMES & KEVIN LOVE
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
185 OVR (JAMES - 95, LOVE - 90)


The arrival of James and Love - along with incumbent point guard Kyrie Irving - makes the Cavaliers the favorite out of the Eastern Conference. Time will tell if they can win immediately.

nba-live-ratings-duos-rockets.jpg


JAMES HARDEN & DWIGHT HOWARD
HOUSTON ROCKETS
180 OVR (HARDEN - 90, HOWARD - 90)


After a disappointing first-round exit in their first year together, Harden and Howard must navigate a brutal Western Conference without third scorer Chandler Parsons.

nba-live-ratings-duos-bulls.jpg


JOAKIM NOAH & DERRICK ROSE
CHICAGO BULLS
89 OVR (NOAH - 90, ROSE - 89)


The Noah/Rose duo gets a reboot following Rose's injury setback in 2013-14. If both players stay healthy, the Bulls may finish with the league's best record.

I remember reading somewhere that they were considering it for next year's game.

[h2]Top Sixth Men in NBA LIVE 15[/h2]
Posted October 10th at 5:47pm.

nba-live-ratings-sixth-man-header.jpg


Although they may come off the bench, the NBA's best Sixth Men often finish games thanks to the spark they provide on either end of the floor.

Here are the best Sixth Men in NBA LIVE 15.

nba-live-ratings-sixth-man-crawford.jpg


JAMAL CRAWFORD
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
83 OVR


The definition of "instant offense." The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Crawford is one of the game's most gifted scorers. He averaged 18.6 PPG despite starting just 26 games for the Clippers.

nba-live-ratings-sixth-man-ginobili.jpg


MANU GINOBILI
SAN ANTONIO SPURS
83 OVR


It almost seems unfair to classify Ginobili as a Sixth Man, considering the impact he's had as a four-time NBA Champion. Nevertheless, Ginobili has spent most of his career coming off the bench. His Hall-of-Fame credentials speak for themselves.

nba-live-ratings-sixth-man-gibson.jpg


TAJ GIBSON
CHICAGO BULLS
83 OVR


Perhaps no Sixth Man personifies his team's identity than Gibson, one of the league's best defensive bigs. Gibson started just eight games for the Bulls, but still played nearly 30 MPG en route to averages of 13 PPG and 6.8 RPG.

nba-live-ratings-sixth-man-thomas.jpg


ISAIAH THOMAS
PHOENIX SUNS
82 OVR


After starting the majority of his time in Sacramento, the uber-talented Thomas will likely come off the bench for the Suns behind Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe. He averaged a career-high 20.3 PPG and 6.3 APG last year.

nba-live-ratings-sixth-man-young.jpg


NICK YOUNG
LOS ANGELES LAKERS
81 OVR


Swaggy P enjoyed a career season in his first year with the Lakers, averaging nearly 18 PPG. Unfortunately, he's expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks due to a thumb injury.
