The Milwaukee Bucks had a historic season in which they won the NBA championship after a long wait of 51 years. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 15th pick of the 2013 NBA draft, staked his claim to a bonafide legacy by starring in an unlikely championship campaign in which the Bucks went up against the likes of the Brooklyn Nets and the Atlanta Hawks before taking on the Phoenix Suns in a six-game Finals series.

The NBA 2K22 game is set to reflect this, and has made Giannis Antetokounmpo the joint-highest rated player in the game. In this article, we attempt to predict the NBA 2K22 ratings for all Milwaukee Bucks starters.
NBA 2K22: Predicting the overall ratings of Milwaukee Bucks’ starters
Apart from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the NBA 2K22 ratings for Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton. While Middleton has seen a comprehensive rise in his overall rating, Jrue Holiday might be disappointed as he has been downgraded despite having a hugely successful season. Without further ado, we look at the predictions of the Milwaukee Bucks starters for their NBA 2K22 overalls.
Center – Brook Lopez (80)
Becoming the NBA champion last season is sure to have a positive impact on the Milwaukee Bucks lineup. Lopez played an integral role, especially throughout the playoffs, and is expected to have an overall of 80 in NBA 2K22.
Last year, he was given a 79 overall with a build of a two-way mid-range finisher. Lopez produced 12.3 points, five rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game whilst shooting at a career-high of 57.7% overall. Lopez is expected to join the 80-club in NBA 2K22.
Shooting Guard – Donte DiVincenzo (77)
Another player who is expected to be given a slight upgrade is the three-and-D specialist Donte DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo will enter his fourth season with the Milwaukee Bucks and produced career-high numbers in multiple categories last season.
This includes points per game, as he averaged in double digits (10.4) for the first time in his career while also producing 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He had an overall of 76 with a build of a three-and-D guard in NBA 2K21 and is expected to be given a 77 overall this year.
Point Guard – Jrue Holiday (85)
Jrue Holiday appears to be another victim of a slight change in rating parameters in the NBA 2K22 game. He was 86 last year, played an important two-way role in the Bucks’ championship run last season, produced his career-best numbers with respect to shooting efficiency, but still finds himself given a downgrade of 1.
Holiday had a build of a two-way scoring machine in NBA 2K21 and will be itching to see an improvement in his overall this year as the season progresses.
Small Forward – Khris Middleton (88)
Khris Middleton’s season was littered with inconsistent shooting performances but he came good every time his team needed him the most. Middleton averaged more than 20 points for the second straight season and also won an All-Star callup.
He was at his best during the Playoffs and averaged 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists in the 23 playoff matches that he played in. Middleton had an overall of 85 last year with a build of a two-way three-level scorer.
Small Forward – Giannis Antetokounmpo (96)
The uniqueness of Giannis Antetokounmpo and a prolific playoff run which also included an NBA Finals 50-point double-double has resulted in Giannis becoming the highest-rated player in NBA 2K22. Alongside the likes of Durant, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, Giannis has been given a 96 rating, which is the same as he had last year.
Giannis has a build of a two-way slashing playmaker and had the same overall in NBA 2K21 as well. The year before that, he was rated 97.
