Basketball players are obsessed with playing the video game NBA 2K, and with the latest version set to be released soon, some of the player ratings starting trickling out.
Only 12 NBA players have a rating at 90 or above — four of those players are on the Warriors.
-LeBron James – 96
-Stephen Curry – 94
-Kevin Durant – 93
-Russell Westbrook – 93
-Kawhi Leonard – 93
-Chris Paul – 91
-Klay Thompson – 90
-James Harden – 90
-Paul George – 90
-Draymond Green – 90
-Anthony Davis – 90
-DeMarcus Cousins – 90
Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard both just missed the cut and check in at 89 overall.
There was one major qualm with one of Green’s rankings on the Warriors. Green’s three-point shot is slotted as a D- in NBA2K17.

Here’s the thing: Draymond is a pretty damn good three-point shooter. He made 100/258 threes last regular season, good for a 38.8 percent shooting clip from downtown. Green finished 35th in the NBA in three-point percentage last season, ahead of notable shooters such as Bradley Beal, Channing Frye, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Paul George, and Dirk Nowitzki.
And more immensely, in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, he hit 6/8 three-pointers in a scintillating 32-point performance — the only thing that really kept the Warriors afloat. Green is the player expected to sacrifice the most offensively for Golden State, but he also made it clear he was the person who recruited Durant the hardest to join the Warriors.
Before you release this game NBA2K17, please adjust Green’s three-point grade. Because right now it’s totally unrealistic.
