Zion Williamson's debut in the NBA Summer League didn't go as planned, as the rookie superstar suffered a bruised knee that ultimately kept him out of the remainder of the league. But Williamson's status as the No. 1 overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans has cemented him among the top of the rookie class when it comes to ratings in
NBA 2K20.
Williamson has big expectations heading into the NBA season and those are reflected in his 81 overall rating in NBA 2K20, the highest among this year's rookies. 2K Sports hosted a livestream revealing player ratings in
NBA 2K20, taking a moment to highlight the top five rookies:
-
Zion Williamson - 81 overall
-
JA Morant - 79 overall
-
RJ Barrett - 78 overall
-
De'Andre Hunter - 77 overall
-
Darius Garland -- 77 overall
None of this is a real shocker as the player ratings are essentially in line with where they were drafted, respectively. Williamson, as the No.1 pick, has the best overall. Ja Morant, the second overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, is next with a 79 overall, followed by New York Knicks Knicks' RJ Barrett. De'Andre Hunter (Atlanta Hawks) and Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers).
