NBA 2K27 Top 100, and what they actually did

OVR is 2K's (published Top 100). Every other column is the player's real 2025-26 season, per game, from the NBA's own stats. Read 17 September 2026. Pick a measure and the board re-ranks in place — nothing here scrolls.

2K's own overall rating.

Keys 1–0 switch measure, arrows walk the board, click pins a player.

3 of the hundred have no 2025-26 season — Tyrese Haliburton (90), Kyrie Irving (87), Damian Lillard (86). They are on the board because 2K rates them there; they rank last on every production measure because that is what the record says. Percentages rank only players with 30 games or more, so a five-game sample cannot take the top of the shooting board.

The short answers

Six questions the big board can answer but does not ask out loud. Every one names the measure it ranks, and where a measure is weaker than its heading sounds, it says so.

No defensive rating is published for 2K27, so this ranks the two defensive events the box score records. It cannot see positioning, rotations or the shots a good defender stops anyone from taking — which is most of the job.

2 Jamal Murray DEN 43.5%
3 Kon Knueppel CHA 42.5%

5 Josh Hart NYK 41.3%

Ranked only for players with 30 games or more, so a five-game sample cannot take the top.

Overall is 2K's published rating. Every other board is the player's real 2025-26 regular season, per game, from the NBA's own stats — so these rank what happened, not a rating of it.

The rest of NBA 2K27, drawn

This board is who is good. The other three are what the buttons do, whether your thumb draws the shape the Pro Stick reads, and whether the pad is still healthy enough to draw it.
