Brooklyn Nets rookies Noah Clowney and Dariq Whitehead this week learned their initial ratings in NBA 2K24, which fell a bit short of their expectations.
2K Sports has been busy teasing many of the features in the game, which is scheduled to be released globally on Sept. 8. The franchise has revealed several forthcoming ratings; half of the rookie class is known at this time, including No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama.
Clowney and Whitehead were filmed at the Nets’ practice learning their ratings, which was 71 for both players. The initial mark was a little lower than their liking but they vowed to improve upon that number once the season begins.

Clowney debuted with the Nets in the NBA Summer League, averaging 4.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and one steal in five games. The 21st pick produced his best game on July 9 with eight points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
Whitehead, the 22nd pick, didn’t play after having foot surgery in June.
The exact roles for Clowney and Whitehead are a bit unclear entering the season. They could spend time in the G League with playing time at a premium on such a veteran-laden roster but they will have the opportunity to prove themselves in training camp in October.
Certainly, they will be looking to crack the rotation this season in an effort to contribute on the court. That, in turn, should enable them to improve their initial NBA 2K24 ratings.
