Trailing only the Brooklyn Nets, virtually unmarred by Kyrie Irving’s indefinite IRL absence, the Lakers’ 83 overall team rating is the second-best in this year’s edition of NBA 2K. After their two top-11 players, LeBron James (96 Overall) and Anthony Davis (93 Overall), and the 31st-ranked player, Russell Westbrook (86 Overall), the team’s roster levels off in the mid-70s.
No rotation player outside of the team’s Big Three has a rating higher than 78, or lower than 74. Of those tightly grouped 10, a few stand out as having a particularly good chance of boosting their in-game rating by a bundle of points before the season’s end.
