NBA 2K24 is less than a month from release, providing a form of feedback in how Golden State Warriors’ players are evaluated just prior to the start of the 2023-24 season.

It will be intriguing to see how some Warriors are rated after what was a tumultuous 2022-23 season for the franchise. Given they went from NBA champions to Conference Semifinalists, one would expect some players to see a slight fall.

Official player ratings have begun for NBA 2K24, with the Golden State Warriors unsurprisingly led by superstar Stephen Curry.

Before more ratings begin to be unveiled over the next few weeks, let’s predict what number each player will see next to their name to start NBA 2K24.

*First brackets represent predicted rating. Second brackets represent change from beginning of NBA 2K23.

Stephen Curry (96) (0)

The two-time MVP has been confirmed as a 96 overall yet again, the third-straight year in which he’ll start at the same rating. Curry continues to be one of the league’s best players and that’s been reflected in 2K ratings, with the 35-year-old only behind reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic.

Draymond Green (83) (0)

Green had a very good 2022-23 season, averaging five-year highs in points per game and shooting percentages. That in itself could see a slight bump in his 2K rating, but it’s more likely that he remains at an 83.

Andrew Wiggins (83) (-1)

Wiggins was solid on the floor for the Warriors last season, but he was plagued by injury for a period and then missed time through personal issues. That’s likely to see a slight drop, surrendering his place as Golden State’s lone second-highest rated player.

Klay Thompson (82) (-1)

The 33-year-old averaged 21.9 points per game and shot 41.2% from the floor last season, both improvements on his return in the 2021-22 season. However, his playoff form was jarring and could mean a fall for the sharpshooter.

Chris Paul (82) (-8)

A -8 differential seems incredibly unfair, though the 38-year-old doesn’t necessarily belong above Green, Wiggins and Thompson either.

Kevon Looney (79) (+4)

The big man’s reputation took more giant strides last season, with Looney playing in every game before playing a critical role in the Warriors’ first-round series win over the Sacramento Kings. He should be compensated with a fair ratings bump as a result.

Jonathan Kuminga (79) (+1)

The talented forward’s disappointing playoff campaign shouldn’t undo an exciting regular season where he averaged nearly 21 minutes per game and showcased his two-way ability.

Dario Saric (76) (0)

Saric returned from a full year off in solid but unspectacular fashion with the Phoenix Suns and then Oklahoma City Thunder. If anything he might see a fall in his rating, though that would be a harsh outcome.

Gary Payton II (76) (-1)

Payton dealt with injury issues in his time with the Portland Trail Blazers, slightly impeding his impact once he returned to Golden State at February’s trade deadline.

Moses Moody (74) (+1)

The 21-year-old was in-and-out of the rotation in a disappointing regular season, yet made an impact when called upon during big moments in the playoffs. Should be rewarded with a small increase in rating as a result.

Cory Joseph (73) (0)

The 31-year-old’s numbers were slightly down with the Pistons last season compared to the year before. Should maintain at a 73 but don’t be surprised if it’s a little lower.

Brandin Podziemski (71)

First overall pick Victor Wembanyama has been confirmed as an 84 overall. First-round picks will scale down from there — Jake LaVaria was the 19th overall pick in 2022 and was a 71 overall to start 2K23.

Trayce Jackson-Davis (69)

Given the 23-year-old’s advanced age for a rookie, you’d make the argument he should be rated above most in his class. Whether the decision-makers follow that path is a different story though.

Lester Quinones (68)

Although Quinones is beginning to make waves for the Warriors in the G League and during Summer League, he’s yet to gain too much traction among fans across the league. He’s also on a two-way contract which will likely be reflected in his rating.
