NBA 2K19 will be released in a few weeks. As we prepare for the debut of the new game, let’s predict the ratings of every Phoenix Suns player.

The NBA2K franchise is one of the most played video games every single year, and it’s the leading lady when it comes to basketball simulations. With 2K19’s release still a few weeks away, only a handful of player ratings have been announced so far, including one Phoenix Suns player – Deandre Ayton – 79.

But other than Ayton, every other Suns’ overall rating is open to speculation. And with a mix of rookies and improved young players, there’s plenty of uncertainty over those ratings.

Here is a projection of what every other player on the Suns will be rated in the upcoming installment of NBA 2K.

George King: 66 (2K18: N/A)

King is a very late second round pick for the Suns, and with no stand-out skills that could raise his rating. 66 is about the average of similar players within the game.

Davon Reed: 70 (2K18: 68)

2K doesn’t tend to give players a lot of rating boosts unless the player has some kind of standout season, even if they’ve shown improvement in any area of their game. However, Reed had a standout Summer League, and as a young player, the development team might look to give him a little increase to try to show player growth. 70 is a fair starting point, and it could easily go up later on if he continues playing well in the regular season though.
