NBA 2K23 has caused quite a stir amongst NBA enthusiasts with its revamped season content, including fresh rankings for every team. Player ratings in NBA2K have always been a hotly debated topic among fans and players alike.

Ratings in NBA2K are important to gamers because they determine how well a player performs in the game. Gamers want to be able to use their favorite players and have them perform at a high level. The ratings also help to create a sense of realism in the game, as players with higher ratings are typically more skilled than players with lower ratings.

Overall, ratings are an important part of the NBA2K experience, and they can have a significant impact on how gamers enjoy the game and which teams and players they choose to use.

The LA Lakers Roster Rated on NBA 2K23

As one of the most iconic teams in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers have always been a popular choice for NBA 2K players. With the release of NBA 2K23, fans of the Lakers are eager to know how their favorite players rank in the game. Whether you are a seasoned expert or a rookie just starting out with a new NBA account, this list is bound to please Laker fans.

1. LeBron James – SF (96 OVR)

Starting off this list, we have LeBron James claiming the first spot on our list, which is totally unsurprising! He is the highest-rated player on the Lakers’ roster in NBA 2K23, with an impressive overall rating of 96. Known for his exceptional skills in both offense and defense, LeBron is a dominant force on the court, capable of leading his team to victory in any situation. And that hasn’t changed this year.

2. Anthony Davis – C (90 OVR)

Falling just behind the legend himself, we have Anthony Davis claiming the second spot on our list, and quite deservingly so. Anthony Davis has an overall of 90 points in this year’s NBA entry. Players love him for his incredible athleticism and defensive abilities make him a valuable asset to the Lakers, especially in the paint where he can easily block shots and grab rebounds for an impactful comeback.

3. Austin Reaves – SG (74 OVR)

With an overall rating of 74 at the beginning of the season, Austin Reaves really stepped up in the 2023 NBA playoffs and was the clear third best player on the Lakers roster. This will certainly add +10 points to his rating in the next version of 2K. With his uncanny ability to make plays, draw fouls and hit big shots, Reaves can also create his own shot and get to the rim.  

In order of their rating, here’s the overall rating for the remainder of the Los Angeles Lakers team going into the 2023-24 NBA season.

• D’Angelo Russell (83)
• Jarred Vanderbilt (80)
• Dennis Schroder (77)
• Rui Hachimura (76)
• Malik Beasley (76)
• Lonnie Walker IV (75)
• Troy Brown Jr. (73)

The Los Angeles Lakers have a formidable roster in NBA 2K23 that you wouldn’t want to mess with. So much so that the Lakers are ranked as one of the five best teams among all the teams in the league, with an overall team rating of 95. If you’re familiar with NBA2K you know that a 95 overall team rating is excellent. And it makes sense since the Lakers boast some of the best players in the world including Lebron to Davis.

The ratings are determined by a team of analysts at 2K Sports, and they are based on a variety of factors, including individual statistics, team success, and overall impact on the game.  However, not everyone agrees with the ratings, and some players have been known to publicly complain about their ratings. For example, Kevin Durant once called his rating in NBA2K “laughable,” and Trae Young has also expressed displeasure with his rating. The controversy surrounding player ratings is likely to continue in the years to come, as there is no easy way to please everyone.
