Just two days following the 2020 NBA Draft, 2K Sports released the complete rookie ratings for each prospect in NBA 2K21 ahead of the 2020-21 season.
The popular video was released worldwide on Sept. 4 and features cover athletes Kobe Bryant, Damian Lillard and Zion Williamson across the various platforms. On the initial release, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo each ranked as the top-rated players at 97, respectively.
Evaluating the incoming rookie class this year was a bit of a challenge since prospects did not play in the NCAA tournament and others had atypical paths to the NBA, such as LaMelo Ball and R.J. Hampton. Based on those limitations, the first batch of ratings could change once the season begins.
Now that the official ratings have been released, Rookie Wire went through and took a look at the grades for each of the first 30 selections in the NBA Draft.
Note: Order sorted from highest rating to lowest rating
