To help promote the September 6 release of the annual NBA 2K video game (this year, known as NBA 2K25), developers are gradually releasing overall ratings for players around the league.
For example, we recently learned that Houston Rockets guard Reed Sheppard has a 73 overall rating — third-best among rookies. To determine each player’s value, various basketball skills are rated on a scale from 1 to 100, and the average helps form an overall rating.
On Tuesday, NBA 2K leaders released overall ratings for players ranked from 51 to 100 in the league. Rockets guards Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet were ranked at No. 56 and No. 57, respectively, with an overall rating of 84. Interestingly enough, they were just in front of former Houston superstar James Harden, who checks in at No. 58 as he enters his second season with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Rockets center Alperen Sengun isn’t on the 51-to-100 list, so presumably he will be included among NBA 2K25’s top 50 players entering the 2024-25 season. The full 51-to-100 list is available here.
