Friday’s release of the NBA 2K23 video game also involved the annual release of NBA 2K’s ratings for all players across the league. To determine virtual skills, players are rated on a 1-to-100 scale in numerous categories, including a frequently disputed overall rating.
Courtesy of HoopsHype, we also know how each player stacks up compared to 500 of his NBA peers. For example, the highest-rated player on the 2022-23 Rockets roster — second-year guard Jalen Green — has an overall rating of 82. That’s tied for 68th overall and matches the likes of Myles Turner, Julius Randle, Lonzo Ball, Malcolm Brogdon, Al Horford, Tobias Harris, Kyle Lowry, and Jerami Grant.
Houston’s second-highest-rated player is rookie forward Jabari Smith Jr., who has a 78 rating. That’s tied for No. 112 overall alongside players such as Buddy Hield, Seth Curry, Herb Jones, Caris LeVert, John Wall, Collin Sexton, Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley, Victor Oladipo, Cole Anthony, and fellow top rookie Paolo Banchero.
From best to worst, scroll on for the initial “overall rating” list involving all current members of the 2022-23 Rockets. Additional ratings in other categories, such as 3-point shooting, are available at 2Kratings.com. Depending on results in the upcoming season, these roster ratings could be adjusted in future NBA 2K digital updates.
