Just yesterday, 2K released its gameplay preview, and the graphics look more realistic than ever before. After an offseason that shook up the league's power balance, fans can see fresh faces in new places before the season starts.
Giannis Antetokounpo, Kevin Durant and James Harden round out the top five with a rating of 96, followed by Stephen Curry (95), Anthony Davis (94) and Paul George (93).
"There’s this myth that I just pick a player’s overall rating. No. I enter in about 50 individual attributes and there’s an overall formula that factors those in along with things like position and player type. That’s what determines each overall rating." https://t.co/AOUtPRXvue

Zion Williamson leads the rookie class with a rating of 81, followed by Ja Morant at 79 and RJ Barrett at 78.
It'll be interesting to see how players react to their ratings once they catch wind of the grade they received.
