NBA 2K24 Point Guards Ratings

Which NBA talents will have the best NBA 2K24 point guards ratings? The month of August marks an exciting time as NBA 2K24 begins to ramp up the various reveals it has in store for its fans and community. Although player rating reveals tend to come at a later point in NBA 2K, sometimes as late as September, it still marks one of the best reveal periods among the community, with many fans eager to see what players will land where.

Well with the NBA 2K24 release date still a ways out, the player ratings will likely not go live anytime soon, including the best point guards, particularly since 2K has yet to reveal anything else besides its new cover athlete and pre order editions. But while we wait for the player ratings to arrive, we here at VideoGamer decided to assemble some expert predictions on which point guards we think will be among the best this year in the new game.

Here’s our NBA 2K24 Point Guards Top 10 prediction:

The best point guard in NBA 2K23 was that of Stephen Curry who was rated 96 overall, and we are predicting he will be back in the number one spot once again in NBA 2K24. Last year NBA 2K23 had a total of five 90+ overall point guards, but we think that will change to six in NBA 2K24 following two exceptional performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Damian Lillard over the 2022-23 campaign.

Although you might feel like we’re seeing a handful of the same players from last year’s Top 10 point guards list, a handful of names we’ve predicted are new in NBA 2K24, including both Jamal Murray and DeAaron Fox. On that note, here’s a look at five of the Top 10 predicted point guards along with some expert analysis on why we feel they belong on the list in NBA 2K24.

Stephen Curry – 97 overall

Stephen Curry might be 35-years-old but somehow is still playing at an incredible high level that we think will yet again place him as the best point guard in NBA 2K24. If 2K gave Curry a 96 overall rating for his performance over the 2021-22 season, it would come to simply no surprise if they gave the star point guard a 97 overall this year following the special campaign he had over the 2022-23. In just 56 games played in the regular season, Curry scored 29.4 points per game (third highest of his career) on 49.3% shooting from the field and 42.7% from behind the three-point line, while also averaging 6.3 assists and 6.1 rebounds. The man is simply one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game and should be back at the number one spot this year.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – 93 overall

Although Gilgeous-Alexander could be rated higher in NBA 2K24, we think 93 overall is a fitting spot considering he was an 87 overall in NBA 2K23 at launch. Gilgeous-Alexander had one special breakout season for the Thunder in 2022-23, illustrating for everyone just how gifted and versatile he truly is. In 68 games played, Gilgeous-Alexander posted 31.4 points per game (4th in the NBA) on 51% shooting from the field, while averaging 5.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. The man was electric last season, proving his worth in a big way that not only saw him become an All Star, but also elected First Team All-NBA. At age 25, it’s scary to think what Gilgeous-Alexander is still capable of achieving, especially with the return of 2022 rookie sensation Chet Holmgren. Though we think Gilgeous-Alexander will receive a 93 overall, it very well could be higher in NBA 2K24.

Trae Young – 92 overall

The Atlanta Hawks superstar point guard has been a special talent to behold in the NBA, and last season, managed to evolve into an even better version of himself. Though some might focus on the fact that Young only scored 26.2 points on 42.9% shooting from the field last season, which was a step down from what he did in 2021-22, his ability to become a better passer and playmaker was put on full display, highlighting how versatile of a basketball talent he is. In 73 games played, Young also averaged a career high 10.2 assists per game last season (third in the NBA) and 1.1 steals, matching his career high from his 2019-20 season. In all fairness, Young could be lower than the 92 we are predicting him to be, but will likely remain on the 90+ overall list.

De’Aaron Fox – 88 overall

‘De’Aaron Fox at 88 overall’, some of you might be thinking? Absolutely! The Kings had a very impressive season that led them all the way to the playoffs as a sixth seed, only to lose to the Warriors in a grueling seven-game series. But a big reason why the Kings were as good as they were, was because of their All Star point guard De’Aaron Fox and how well he ran the offense. In 73 games played, Fox scored 25.0 points per game on a career high 51.2 field goal percentage while averaging 6.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds (also a career high), and 1.1 steals. In fact, Fox had such a strong 2022-23 campaign that he was selected to the All NBA Third Team this year. Though it might be high for some, 88 overall would be a fair rating for Fox.

Jamal Murray – 87 overall

Hot off their first NBA Championship, the Denver Nuggets still remain to be the best team in the NBA and for a variety of important factors. Having a two-time MVP and one of the best centers in the NBA in Nikola Jokić on your team certainly goes a long way. But for those that watched the 2023 NBA playoffs and regular season, you might recall just how important Jamal Murray was for the Nuggets, from his unselfish passing to his clutch shots. In 65 games played last season, Murray didn’t post the flashiest of numbers, scoring just 20.0 points per game. However, Murray, much like Young, also had a career high 6.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game as well, illustrating just how important he was for the team.
