It’s a small basketball world and even if you play in the EuroLeague, you have a pretty good chance to sign or return to the NBA.
Having that in mind, NBA2k19 official rosters include players who signed in the EuroLeague this summer but are considered “Free Agents” in the game. So what’s their rating?
We have the numbers and here are the ratings all the NBA starters for comparison.
Markel Brown – 67 rating (Darussafaka)
Profile: Shooter
Markel Brown returned to Europe for Darussafaka, after playing for Khimki during the 2016-17. He is still part of the NBA2k19 database and offense is his calling card. His shooting abilities are good enough for a 67 rating.
Alec Peters – 68 rating (CSKA Moscow)
Profile: Offensive-minded four
After 20 games with the Suns last season, which included a masterclass with 36 points and 8 threes against the Mavs, Peters signed with CSKA Moscow.
Of course, he is still part of the NBA2k19 and shooting is what makes him stand out. His rating is 68.
George Papagiannis – 67 rating (Panathinaikos)
Profile: Tenacious rebounder
Things didn’t work out for big George with the Kings and the Blazers. He returned to Greece for Panathinaikos and he is still considered one of the best European centers of his generation.
His NBA2k19 rating is 67, because of his rebounding abilities, which has an A- score.
Darrun Hilliard – 68 rating (Baskonia)
Profile: Reserve
He spent most of last season in the G-League, averaging 21.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 3.8 asp while shooting 41% in threes.
Those are numbers deserving of a reserve spot in the NBA and he can be one of the standouts for Baskonia. His NBA2k19 rating is 68.
Johnny O’Bryant – 69 rating (Maccabi Tel Aviv)
Profile: Faceup Four
Maccabi Tel Aviv has a formidable front line and O’Bryant can make a difference in the EuroLeague. Despite being a power forward in the NBA – and also in the game – he is expected to play the center position in Europe.
His rebounding abilities and his mid-range shooting give him a 69 rating.
Joel Bolomboy – 69 rating (CSKA Moscow)
Profile: Low post threat
The last addition of CSKA Moscow‘s roster can end up being one of the key members of the team. His low post presence is more than needed in the “Army Team” and very few players in Europe can match his strength and ability.
He has a 69 rating which seems to be fair.
