NBA 2K25 has unveiled its player ratings for the 70-51 range, and some of the rankings have raised eyebrows across the basketball community. Among the most notable is the placement of three big-name stars: James Harden, Bradley Beal, and Rudy Gobert, none of whom managed to crack the top 50.
70. Josh Hart – 82
69. Deandre Ayton – 83
68. Desmond Bane – 83
67. Michael Porter Jr. – 83
66. Kyle Kuzma – 83
65. Draymond Green – 83
64. Tyler Herro – 83
63. Zach LaVine – 83
62. Myles Turner – 84
61. Aaron Gordon – 84
60. CJ McCollum – 84
59. Jarrett Allen – 84
58. James Harden – 84
57. Fred VanVleet – 84
56. Jalen Green – 84
55. OG Anunoby – 84
54. Mikal Bridges – 84
53. Khris Middleton – 85
52. Bradley Beal – 85
51. Rudy Gobert – 85
Starting at number 70, Josh Hart is rated 82 overall. Hart, known for his gritty play and versatility, is a key contributor to the New York Knicks. His rating reflects his role as a valuable glue guy who does a little bit of everything on the court.
Moving up the list, we find Deandre Ayton at 69 with an 83 rating. Ayton, the former No. 1 overall pick, has shown flashes of brilliance but has also struggled with consistency. His placement outside the top 50 suggests that NBA 2K25 sees him as a player still searching for that next level.
Desmond Bane and Michael Porter Jr. also come in at 83 overall, ranked 68 and 67, respectively. Bane has established himself as a sharpshooter and key piece for the Memphis Grizzlies, while Porter Jr. is a crucial component of the Denver Nuggets’ success with his scoring ability and size.
At 66, Kyle Kuzma, another player rated 83, continues to evolve as a scorer and playmaker for the Washington Wizards. Kuzma’s development has been one of the bright spots for the Wizards, and his rating reflects his increased role. Draymond Green, the defensive anchor and emotional leader of the Golden State Warriors, also comes in at 83, ranked 65th. Green’s influence on the game goes beyond the stat sheet, but his rating reflects his declining offensive contributions.
Tyler Herro, ranked 64 with an 83 rating, remains one of the league’s promising young guards. His scoring ability is undeniable, and he is expected to play a significant role for the Miami Heat moving forward.
Perhaps the most surprising rankings involve James Harden at 58, Bradley Beal at 52, and Rudy Gobert at 51. Harden, who moved to the Los Angeles Clippers, had a subpar season, which likely contributed to his lower-than-expected rating of 84. Despite his pedigree as a former MVP, his struggles have been reflected in his NBA 2K25 rating.
Bradley Beal, rated 85 and ranked 52nd, moved to the Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster trade. However, injuries have hampered his ability to contribute at the level he’s known for, leading to his placement just outside the top 50. Rudy Gobert, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is ranked 51st with an 85 rating. Gobert’s defensive impact is undeniable, but his offensive limitations seem to have prevented him from breaking into the top 50.
On the brighter side for the Denver Nuggets, Aaron Gordon (ranked 61 with an 84 rating) and Michael Porter Jr. have both received solid ratings, reflecting their importance to the Nuggets’ championship aspirations. Gordon’s versatility and defense, coupled with Porter’s scoring, make them invaluable to Denver’s success.
Additionally, the Knicks trio of OG Anunoby (55, 84 rating), Josh Hart (70, 82 rating), and Mikal Bridges (54, 84 rating) highlight New York’s growing strength. Bridges’ move from the Nets to the Knicks in a blockbuster trade has given the team a versatile star capable of both elite defense and consistent scoring.
Finally, Khris Middleton’s 85 rating at 53rd underscores his value to the Milwaukee Bucks. After battling injuries, Middleton has shown he still has plenty of game left, and his rating reflects his ability to contribute as a key piece in the Bucks’ championship hopes.
These ratings highlight the dynamic nature of the NBA, where reputations can shift quickly based on performance, health, and team success. With Harden, Beal, and Gobert on the outside looking in, it’s clear that NBA 2K25 is taking a fresh look at the league’s pecking order.
