The usual question surrounds the NBA 2K23 ratings list. How good is Giannis Antetokounmpo this year? So let’s get straight to this: Greek Freak is incredible in NBA 2K23. He’s a little bit better than LeBron James. What about cover star Devin Booker, Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes, and top WNBA players like Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson? Don’t worry, these boys and girls are here too, in your NBA 2K23 rating guide.

- 6= Robert Williams III (Boston Celtics) – 85
- 10= Clint Capela (Atlanta Hawks) – 84
- 10= Christian Wood (Dallas Mavericks) – 84
Towns (Dominican Republic) climbs to third place, while Serbian star Jokic shares the highest bill for the second year in a row with Cameroon dot machine Embiid. Indeed, this is always a location with a truly international flavor. Towns’ new teammate Gobert is French. Bahamas (Ayton), Latvia (Porzingis), Switzerland (Capela) and Stars and Stripes are also represented, thanks to Adebayo, Allen, Williams and Wood.
NBA 2K23 PG ratings
- 1 Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) – 96
- 2 Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) – 95

- 8= Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers) – 87
- 8= Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder) – 87Blank roster
Curry once again leads the quarterback group and is equally effective in the secondary shooting guard position. Morant is the biggest player on this list, taking an eight-point GENE boost to kick him into third place. LaMelo Ball, 2021 Rookie of the Year, is also on the rise. The Hornets superstar fell far behind the top 10 last year, but this time he’s solidifying his position with a deliciously fresh 87.
NBA 2K23 SG ratings
- 1 Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns) – 91
- 2 James Harden (Brooklyn Nets) – 89
- 3 Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz) – 88

- 8 CJ McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers) – 85
- 9= Tyrese Haliburton (Indianapolis Pacers) – 84
- 9= Tyler Herro (Miami Heat) – 84
As Booker knocks Harden off the mountaintop, the shot is a new trick among the guards. That’s not all that surprising, considering the Phoenix charm has joined Michael Jordan, Diana Taurasi, and Sue Bird as NBA 2K23 cover stars. At the bottom of the table comes a Hero with the strength to keep going: Miami’s super superstar Tyler has been awarded the NBA Sixth Man of the Year for his excellence on the bench.

NBA 2K23 PF ratings

- 2 Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets) – 96
- 3 Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) – 93
- 4 Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers) – 90

- 10= Jaren Jackson Jr (Memphis Grizzlies) – 83
- 10= Miles Bridges (Free Agent) – 83
- 10= John Collins (Atlanta Hawks) – 83
Last season’s Rookie of the Year vote was the closest in 20 years, as Cleveland favorite Mobley and Raptors great Barnes battled for the honor of basketball’s newcomer. Barnes nearly snatched the award with 378 votes, compared to Mobley’s 363. But in NBA 2K23, they both managed to break into the top ten, winning and getting the same overall rating of 84. Top of the list, ‘Greek Freak’ Antetokounmpo is not only the best power forward, but also the best single player in NBA 2K23.
NBA 2K23 WNBA ratings
- 1= Breanna Stewart (PF, Seattle Storm) – 96
- 1= A’ja Wilson (PF, Las Vegas Aces) – 96
- 3 Jonquel Jones (PF, Connecticut Sun) – 94
- 4= Candace Parker (PF, Chicago Sky) – 93
- 4= Maya Moore (SF, Free Agent) – 93
- 6= Elena Delle Donne (PF, Washington Mystics) – 91
- 6= Liz Cambage (C, Free Agent) – 91
- 8 Brittney Griner (C, Phoenix Mercury) – 90
- 8= Emma Meesseman (PF, Chicago Sky) – 90
- 10 Kelsey Plum (PG, Las Vegas Aces) – 89
Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson share the top spot after falling short in NBA 2K22. Her predecessor, Elena Delle Donne, at the top of these standings, still performs positively in-game – but a drop from first to sixth is a bit of an oversight. Maya Moore is the top new entry on the list. The Minnesota Lynx legend hasn’t played since 2018 after having her first child after a series of clearances, but husband Jonathan Irons insisted “it still exists” last year, and 2K’s ratings gurus clearly agree. Despite his recent retirement, Cambage remained in NBA 2K23 with a strong rating.
