Miami Heat Players Receive Updated 2K Ratings After Start To Season

One of the best ways to tell how a player's season is going is to keep track of their NBA 2K rating. For the Miami Heat as of late, it has not been great for many players as the team is below .500 following their high-powered offseason.

Amid the Heat's rocky start to the season, many players are seeing their 2K ratings fluctuate. Let's take a look at who is struggling and who is thriving on the court in the eyes of the 2K game developers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - 96 OVR (Last Week: 96 OVR)

Antetokounmpo has been the one true constant for the Heat to begin the season as he continues to play like his MVP self. He is one of the best players in the league and has shown no signs of slowing down in his new environment.

Bam Adebayo - 87 OVR (Last Week: 87 OVR)

This one is surprising as Adebayo has not had the hottest start to the season. He has been rather inconsistent in the new frontcourt alongside Antetokounmpo. After the Heat's winless beginning to the season, Adebayo was one to receive a lot of the blame. However, he has recently improved and is starting to play like the player many have become accustomed to over the past number of seasons.

Klay Thompson - 79 OVR (Last Week: 78 OVR)

Thompson has a rough start but has been on fire for Miami as of late. He had his best game of the season on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, helping lead the team to an overtime victory after facing a 20-point deficit at halftime. He is no longer the same player he was throughout his tenure in Golden State but he is still a strong shooter from beyond the arc, shooting 42.5 percent from three-point range this season.

Bobby Portis - 79 OVR (Last Week: 80 OVR)

Portis has been rather disappointing to begin the season as he joins the Heat alongside Antetokounmpo in the trade this summer. He is not shooting well from the field and his splits overall have taken a hit. He's a veteran and there should be faith in him to regain the strong aspects of his game but to this point, it has not been sunshine and rainbows.

Davion Mitchell - 79 OVR (Last Week: 77 OVR)

Mitchell may be the most surprising player to begin the season. He was solid in his role last year but he seems to have taken a leap playing opposite Antetokounmpo. He is playing this season on an expiring contract and is certainly playing well enough to earn a nice payday this summer, whether from Miami or another team.
