NBA 2K has been one of the top sports video games since its inception, and of course, NBA 2k20 is no exception. Because players’ ratings vary based on their performance on the field. So as the season goes on, player ratings change. Here are three players with the fastest growth in NBA 2k20:

Luka Doncic

• Overall Rating: 96
• Position: SG
• 3-Point Rating: 84
• Dunk Rating: 63
• Archetype: Offensive Threat
• Team: Dallas Mavericks
• Height: 6"7'

Luka Doncic has stormed NBA 2K20’s top 10 after back-to-back substantial rating gains. At the time of NBA 2K20’s release, Doncic was ranked as an 87 overall. Thanks to a historic sophomore season that has put the entire league on notice, he is now a 96, and rightfully so.

After being selected third overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, Luka put his talents on display last season. A 6'7" play-maker at the small forward position, Luka makes up for his lack of athleticism with intelligent play and skill.

With his combination of size, craftiness, and poise, Luka has a bright future in the league. Doncic is filling up the stat sheet on a nightly basis, averaging 29.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 9 assists in 32.9 minutes per game this season. If Doncic is going to play at a top-level, he deserves to be ranked with the best in the world.

Not only are his per-game splits jaw-dropping, but the youngster is also leading the Dallas Mavericks to wins, in a brutally competitive Western Conference, no less. Luka’s ballclub owns a 23–14 record, sits sixth in the West, and is within grasp of attaining homecourt advantage in the first round of the NBA Playoffs (seeds two through six are separated by only 3 games).

Doncic won the 2019 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and he has an average of 28.3 points in 10 appearances along with 9.1 assists and 10.3 rebounds for every game. He already has 4 triple-doubles to his name and maybe the third NBA player in history to average a triple-double in a season. He has also led the Mavs excellently to a 6–4 standing in spite of a hectic game schedule. Doncic is on his way towards becoming one of the NBA’s best players ever.

Devonte’ Graham

• Overall Rating: 83
• Position: PG
• 3-Point Rating: 84
• Dunk Rating: 60
• Archetype: 3PT Playmaker
• Team: Charlotte Hornets
• Height: 6"1'

It’s a brave new world in Charlotte as the Hornets adapt to life without Kemba Walker. Fortunately, 24-year-old Devonte Graham has burst out of the gates with some enormous performances in the first stretch of his sophomore campaign.

Graham spent four years at the University of Kansas and was drafted into the NBA earlier. Yet, he had only 14.7 minutes in 46 appearances in the rookie season due to Kemba Walker’s stellar form. He had an average of 4.7 points and 2.6 assists per game and now he averages 18.0 points with 7.3 assists per game and 31.6 minutes for every game. This 24-year old star could eventually replace Walker in the starting line-up for the Charlotte Hornets.

Devonte Graham has continued to defy expectations one month into his sophomore campaign and has become a reliable scorer and playmaker on a team that needs one. Graham has dished out 10 or more assists four times this season, is averaging 18.3 points per game. He led the Hornets to a win, their second straight, with a career-high 40 points, while adding five rebounds and five assists. He also drained seven three-pointers. The University of Kansas product is tallying 18.9 points along with 7.8 dimes in 35.4 minutes of action and has suited up for all 40 of the Hornets’ outings.

When 2K20 launched, Graham was rated 69 overall. Since then his rating has varied, jumping from a 76 by the third week of the season, to an 80 in week five, and lastly an 83 overall starting in week nine — it has not changed since. His overall has increased a whopping 14 points since the start of 2019–20, and it is not likely to drop considering the 24-year-old’s amount of touches and his role in creating offense for himself and his teammates.

Eric Paschall

• Overall Rating: 80
• Position: PF
• 3-Point Rating: 70
• Dunk Rating: 65
• Archetype: Mid-Range Specialist
• Team: Golden State Warriors
• Rookie: Drafted #41
• Height: 6"6'

The injury-ravaged Golden State Warriors needed all the help they could get early on and found some in the form of their 2019 second-round pick Eric Paschall.

Eric Paschall had one of the best single-game performances in the NBA this season, dropping 36 points on the Portland Trail Blazers, surpassing Ja Morant for the most points scored by a rookie in a single match. Following his great night against Portland, Paschall will get a lot of respect around the league. This kid is going places and the Warriors have apparently found another gem in the forward.

Paschall has held his own against some of the best scorers in the league in the defensive end and has found ways to stuff the stat sheet early on as well. He has started in 20 games and is averaging 13.7 points on 48.9% shooting along with 4.4 boards. So far, he’s averaging 10.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.

The 23-year-old is currently an 80 overall in NBA 2K20, nine points higher than his original rating of 71. Paschall possesses a respectable 3-point shot for a frontcourt player (71 overall) and has a mid-range specialist archetype. Paschall has proven himself to be a prospect with much promise, meaning he will likely continue to play consistent minutes in the Bay even when the Splash Brothers make their eventual return.

Along with these three players, there are other players whose ratings are also on the rise, and we’ll cover them in the next post, so stay tuned for u4gm.com. It is especially important that u4gm also offers a large NBA 2k20 mt for sale, low price, safety, and fast delivery.
