Devin Booker: 89 Overall

There are 15 NBA players that are rated 90 or higher in 2K20, and 19 that are rated as an 89 or higher.

Booker is rated as the 31st best player in the NBA on 2K, behind the likes of Kristaps Porzingis and Hassan Whiteside…Hassan Whiteside!

Homerism aside, I think Booker is a top 20 player in the NBA. Here is how I place the top 20-25 players in the NBA in tiers:

Tier 1 (No particular order):

LeBron James

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Kawhi Leonard

Kevin Durant (if pre-injury level Durant…big if)

Tier 2:

Steph Curry

James Harden

Anthony Davis

Damian Lillard

Paul George

Nikola Jokic

Joel Embiid

Tier 3:

Karl-Anthony Towns

Kyrie Irving

Luka Doncic

Klay Thompson (pre-injury Thompson)

Bradley Beal

Russell Westbrook

Devin Booker

Chris Paul

Pascal Siakam

Donovan Mitchell

Rudy Gobert

Jimmy Butler

Jayson Tatum

Ben Simmons

All of these guys should be an 88 or higher in my opinion and I think Booker gets the additional love from the 2K creators as an 89 because of his status as the first-ever NBA 2K tournament champion.
