Harden, Kyrie, Flagg, LaMelo Headline New NBA 2K27 Player Ratings for Top 31-100 Rankings

The NBA 2K27 Top 100 countdown continued Wednesday with 10 new players named to the list.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' James Harden and Dallas Mavericks' Cooper Flagg were among the players ranked between No. 40 and No. 31 ahead of the game's release.

Here's a look at the full NBA 2K27 ratings released so far.

The newest edition of the NBA series is set to release Sept. 4.

This year's rating represents a jump for Flagg, who started out his rookie season with an 82 overall rating on NBA 2K26.

Flagg saw a jump of five rating points after winning the 2026 Rookie of the Year award by averaging 21 points and 6.7 rebounds in 70 games of his rookie season.

Another ascendant player in this portion of the list is the San Antonio Spurs' Stephon Castle, who saw an increase of five rating points after going to the 2026 NBA Finals.

Flagg's teammate Kyrie Irving received an 87 overall rating, a decrease from the 90 rating he received last August, while preparing to make his return from the torn ACL that sidelined him for the entirety of the 2025-26 season.

Harden also saw a slight decrease in his overall rating from 89 to 87 between the last two offseasons.

The decline followed Harden's midseason trade from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Cleveland Cavaliers, after which the star guard saw his production dip from 25.4 points per game to 20.5 points per game.

Another player that has seen his rating dip since last season Trae Young, who started out his last season with the Atlanta Hawks with a 90 overall rating but is heading into his first full campaign with the Washington Wizards at 87 overall.

LaMelo Ball started his last season with the Charlotte Hornets having earned an 87 overall rating. He received the same grade after being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in July.
