Comparing the Phoenix Suns’ 2K ratings to the Southeast Division
By Adam Maynes
Orlando Magic
PG – D.J. Augustin – 76
SG – Evan Fournier – 79
SF – Terrence Ross – 74
PF – Aaron Gordon – 82
C – Mo Bamba – 77
If it weren’t for Aaron Gordon, the Orlando Magic would have absolutely nobody worth watching this season. If he gets hurt, forgettaboutit.
With Josh Jackson as the 2K projected starting shooting guard – and a 77 – for the Phoenix Suns, the Magic actually out-rate two starters, Fournier and Gordon. However, only Gordon plays in a way that might scare (or excite) people, and the second half of last season is probably a sign that his ability to scare is probably as low as a child dressed as a purple crayon on Halloween.
Some called Mo Bamba the best player in the draft, and many Suns fans were hoping that after Deandre Ayton was selected first overall, Phoenix could trade back up for Bamba.
2K fans will be able to see the two play against one another much earlier as they’ll be able to face-off during the actual regular season with their first meeting on November 30.
Much like the Atlanta Hawks though (each with the same starter rating total), if you are playing as the Suns on 2K you should have your way with the Magic, as the actual team should as well.
The Phoenix starter’s 2K ratings are better overall, and it doesn’t seem to me that Orlando has anyone on the bench that the Suns reserves couldn’t handle as well.
Total Rating Score: 388 Average starter rating: 77.6
