NBA 2K fans, it’s that time again. As is tradition, 2K is slowly revealing its player ratings for NBA 2K24 and encouraging fans to discuss them, drumming up hype ahead of the September 8 release.
Even though it’s Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić in the top spot with a rating of 98, it’s rookie Victor Wembanyama who is causing the most discussion. The Spurs’ number-one pick has been rated 84, the highest rating any rookie has received in NBA 2K history. Prior to Wembanyama’s rating, the highest rated rookies were Kyrie Irving and Zion Williamson, who both received an 81 on their debuts.
“That’s nice, that’s alright,” Wembanyama said in a video where his rating was revealed, though he promised Ronnie 2K that his rating would be over 90 by the end of the season “for sure.” Fans have compared the high rating to other top players’ rookie years–LeBron James debuted at 78, while this year’s top player Nikola Jokić had a 68 rating in his rookie year.
Back in the top spots, Jokić is this year’s highest-rated player at release with a 98, while five players are tied for second with shared 96 ratings: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and LeBron James.
2K has also revealed its rating for WNBA cover star Sabrina Ionescu, who received a 90 overall rating.
A number of other rookies have also had their ratings revealed so far, with the Hornets’ Brandon Miller and the Trail Blazers’ Scoot Henderson both rated 78. As in past years, 2K will continue sharing more ratings over the next week, and it will also invite players to interact on social media to find out their own ratings. For now, here are the ratings that have been revealed so far:
