What is rookie Victor Wembanyama’s player rating in NBA 2K24?

Ronnie 2K recently linked up with Victor Wembanyama to unveil the rookie’s initial player rating in NBA 2K24.

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has an overall rating of 84 in NBA 2K24. This is one of the highest ratings for an incoming player in the video game’s history, and the list of outsized expectations for the French national continues to grow. Last season, the Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero started the year as a 78 overall and Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren earned an initial rating of 77 in NBA 2K23.

NBA 2K24 is set to launch this September and comes in three distinct versions, all honoring the late Kobe Bryant. The annual edition of the game has become a big part of basketball culture, and player ratings have increasingly served as currency of a sort among fans and athletes alike. The makers of 2K have slowly revealed the rankings of different stars to meet fans’ excitement and curiosity.

Wembanyama first learned of his initial rating alongside the game’s marketing guru Ronnie 2K. He seemed excited upon opening the envelope which contained his rating.

“That’s nice,” Wembanywama said. “That’s alright, that’s alright.”
