16. Thanasis Antetokounmpo – 2K20 Rating: 70
Thanasis Antetokounmpo’s return to the NBA also means his return to the NBA 2K series. Thanasis was last in the game in NBA 2K16 when he was splitting time between the New York and Westchester Knicks.
At that time, the elder Antetokounmpo brother was rated as a 66, meaning that although his overall rating of 70 this year is unlikely to make him too much of a game-changer, he’s significantly better than he previously was.
Placing Thanasis as the second-worst rated Buck in the game will certainly raise some eyebrows, particularly as his full roster spot was contentious among some corners of the Milwaukee fanbase.
As most Bucks fans likely know at this point, though, Thanasis isn’t without his positive attributes. At the forefront of that list is his eye-popping athleticism, and in 2K20 that translates to an exceptionally high dunk rating of 89. Much like in real life, playing Thanasis may have some downsides in 2K, but it will also lead to some incredible highlights.
