NBA 2K27 Top 100 Player Ratings: SGA Tops the List as 76ers Stack Up

• Primary Subject: NBA 2K27
• Key Update: The official NBA 2K27 Top 100 player ratings have been revealed, featuring a three-way tie at 97 OVR between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, and Nikola Jokic.
• Status: Confirmed

• Quick Answer: The NBA 2K27 Top 100 ratings place SGA, Wembanyama, and Jokic at the top with 97 OVRs, alongside major roster updates.

Every year, this list starts the same argument in about ten different directions, and this year's Top 100 is not going to calm anyone down.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, and Nikola Jokic all come in at 97 OVR, with SGA holding the tiebreaker for arguably the best player in NBA 2K27 after averaging 31.1 points and 6.6 assists to lead the Thunder to a 64-18 record last season that didn't even see the daylight of a Finals game.

All three players have legitimate cases for the top spot and MVP honors this year, and with the offseason closed and LeBron James having the biggest move in free agency, this season is geared up to be one of the most competitive in years.

The more interesting ratings, as usual, are the ones where the list rewards or punishes last season's performance in ways that feel either accurate or generous depending on your perspective.

Tyrese Maxey, for example, is going from 86 to 92 this year. He averaged 28.3 points per game last season and made it to the playoffs despite Joel Embiid's recurring injury.

Now with an even more stacked team, LeBron James, who left the Lakers this summer to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for a fraction of his previous salary, lands at 91 OVR on a roster that already has Maxey at 92 OVR and both Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid at 91 OVR.

To prove my point, if you're going to play an updated roster for NBA 2K26, all you'll ever going to meet are players using the 76ers.

The 90+ OVR Club

Only 9 players in the entire list are rated 90 or above. Here's that group:

The Philadelphia 76ers are the most top-heavy team in the NBA right now. But that's not all; some big moves by the Miami Heat landed them Giannis early in the off-season, and they more recently traded for Klay Thompson.

A Bam-Giannis frontcourt is nothing but a block party to anyone who would dare enter the paint, and now they have added shooting in the form of the former Splash Brother, Klay Thompson.

The only player we have to watch out for here is Kawhi Leonard.

He's supposed to be traded to the Toronto Raptors this year, but he's currently embroiled in serious issues that have involved the NBA itself in conducting an investigation, so there's a real chance that this trade might get rescinded.

Winners and Losers of the NBA 2K27 Top 100

Tyrese Maxey went up from 86 to 92 OVR. The 76ers All-Star won the Three-Point Shooting Contest at All-Star Weekend and went on to break Allen Iverson's franchise record for most made threes in 76ers history, doing it in only 375 games compared to Iverson's 722.

Austin Reaves - 88 OVR (Winner)

Austin Reaves has a lot working in his favor after Luka Doncic arrived in Los Angeles in the blockbuster deal that sent All-Star Center Anthony Davis to the Mavericks, who later flipped him to the Wizards.

Following a strong season averaging 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, Reaves secured a four-year, $180 million contract with the Lakers. He also climbs the rankings in NBA 2K27, opening the year with an 88 OVR.

Chet Holmgren - 86 OVR (Loser)

After an abysmal performance in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs and Wemby, Chet Holmgren dropped down a point from his 87 OVR.

It's not much, but here's to hoping he can recover this season and become the player that we all wanted - someone to at least be a match for Victor Wembanyama.

James Harden - 87 OVR (Loser)

It's truly hard to watch one of the best scorers in the game lose playoffs after playoffs. Such is the path of one James Harden, who went from almost getting into the 90's OVR Club (89 OVR) and is now down to 87.

This year, Cleveland is looking at a more challenging season since losing the bid to get LeBron James back home.

Ja Morant - 84 OVR (Loser)

Ja Morant is plagued by issues on and off the court, and after a very controversial season where he barely played, he's now a member of the Portland Trail Blazers alongside Jrue Holiday, Damian Lillard, and Deni Avdija.

He loses 3 points (from 87 OVR) but remains in the top 100 list.

Top 100 Players in NBA 2K27

So, who's the best team in NBA 2K27? Well, that honor belongs to the Oklahoma City Thunder. They currently have 7 players on their roster included in this top 100 list.

SGA, Holmgren, Williams, Hartenstein, Mitchell, Caruso, and Wallace all made the list. While the Philadelphia 76ers are the more star-studded team, the Thunder remain the more "complete" team in terms of fit.

Whatever your plans for the team you'd want to commit to in MyCareer or in MyTeam, NBA 2K27 has plenty of great rosters you can tweak.
