NBA 2K22 Player Ratings: Top Rated Players, Shooters, Dunkers


It’s the moment that NBA and NBA 2K players have been waiting for. The official 2K22 player ratings have been released for a number of your favourite athletes. This year 2K decided to release the ratings in a number of different categories, including best overall, 3-point shooters, dunkers, and by countries such as Australia, Germany, Spain, and France. We’ve broken it all down below, and previewed a few of our Aussie Boomer favourites in light of their Bronze Medal at Tokyo 2020. Go Boomers!

Aussie players were given a decent wrap with NBA Rookie Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder coming in at 75 overall for his first season in the league. The NBL star showed fans a little something in the summer league with a dunk before rolling his ankle prematurely and missing the remainder of the preseason games. Aussies and OKC fans alike can’t wait to get their hands on the #6 draft pick and find out exactly what he’s capable of. He joins Aussie Boomers Joe Ingles (80 ovr), Patty Mills (76 ovr) and Matisse Thybulle (75 ovr), Aron Baynes (74 ovr), Dante Exum (71 ovr), and Josh Green (71 ovr) in the mix. Ben Simmons will see a decline in rating off the back of a disappointing post season (84 ovr).
