#3 Steven Adams – 79

Steven Adams has a reputation of being one of the strongest players in the league. While he has not been able to reach the offensive heights expected of him, Adams can do a job on the other end of the court and is a solid rim protector.

He averaged 7.6 points and 8.9 rebounds last season, with his overall output taking a hit with respect to passing and defence as well. In such a scenario, he has been downgraded from an 80 overall in NBA 2K21 and will start the coming season with the Memphis Grizzlies.

#2 Joe Ingles – 80

Joe Ingles had a successful season for the Utah Jazz despite starting even less games last season. He found himself part of the rotation in rotation at SF behind Bojan Bogdanovic and started just 30 games.

Despite this, Ingles averaged 12.1 points per game, which is a joint-career high and had 4.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists. The fact that NBA 2K21 gave him an overall of 82 means that he will be left disappointed with his new overall. Ingles also improved his efficiency and shot at a comprehensive-career high of over 65%.

#1 Ben Simmons – 84

Ben Simmons was considered to be the future of the Philadelphia 76ers for the longest of time. Simmons, the first overall pick of the 2013 NBA draft, has reportedly had a huge fallout and is expected to move in the coming time.

Simmons had a rating of 86 and a build of 2-way slashing playmaker last season and will be looking to bounce back strongly in the coming season. While he is still a lockdown defender capable of dominating bigger players, Simmons’ overall offensive output went down in the past season, with his 84 overall still making him the best Australian player on NBA 2K22.
