I feel like when NBA 2K19 doesn’t have strong feelings about a player one way or another, they just give opt for a 73/72 rating. They’re generally not going to say a player is bad and should be in the 60s, but they won’t say he’s good enough to be above a 75 either, so they just slap a pretty neutral score on him and call it a day.
Anyway, I’ve no real problems with any of these, clearly the 2K team saw the Thon Maker playoff block party and rewarded him for it, and it’s nice to see Connaughton get a little bump from his solid season last year.
It is a little surprising to see the high score for DiVincenzo, but the 2K team is obviously expecting more of “NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player” DiVincenzo rather than the “0-8 from the field in NBA Summer League” DiVincenzo from Summer League.
D.J. Wilson’s score is 99 percent from his draft position last year, and there’s really no reason Sterling Brown should be seen as an equal player to him right now besides where they were picked in the draft.
Of course, what’s really most important is that the Bucks’ player ratings end up steadily rising over the course of the season, and reflecting a successful first season for Milwaukee under Mike Budenholzer’s guidance.
