Point Guard: Kemba Walker

Kemba was the leader of the Charlotte Hornets this past season. He was their leading scorer and helped the team to finish the year with 48 wins. Walker finished NBA 2K16 with an 84 rating and it would only be logical for that number to go up.

The five-year NBA veteran is one of the top-10 point guards in 2K16 and after a career season, his rating should be trending upwards. After averaging 20.9 points per game on career percentages from the field and from three, Walker will see a nice boost in his shooting. He will likely be the highest rated payer on the team to start the season.

With NBA 2K constantly updating their player rating throughout the season, it wouldn’t be surprising if Kemba’s rating went up every now and then based on his performances. I would expect for Walker to be ranked within the top nine or eight points guards when the game releases.

2K17 Predicted Rating: 85
