Rose, Alonzo Trier, and others get increases.
NBA 2K19 has been out for two months, and gamers have gotten used to their default squads by now. For those who have been using the Minnesota Timberwolves, their roster just got a little bit stronger.
Derrick Rose has been balling out in real life, showing flashes of his old MVP self in clutch moments. With Rose’s real-life performance rising, so has his virtual rating. Rose’s rating has been updated from 75 to 80, highlighting one of the biggest swings in new player ratings.
Rose wasn’t the only player to get better. Joel Embiid’s rating increased by one point, Andre Drummond went up by two points, Jusuf Nurkic pushed up by three points, and Zach LaVine was also blessed with a two-point increase.
Gordan Hayward’s rating fell the hardest, with the update dragging him down by four points. Both James Harden and Chris Paul have lost two points apiece as well. Check out the full updated player’s rating list below.
