Phoenix Suns: Predicting players’ NBA 2K21 ratings
By Ryan Bawek
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.
