Are you an NBA 2K fan? The nineteenth iteration of the popular video game is set to be released on Tuesday, September 19. The clamored-for carbon copy of its predecessor will feature all new ratings for everyone’s favorite players, reflecting the yearly development and decline of their real-life counterparts. Here is an early look at this year’s Portland Trail Blazers:

For a full breakdown of the categorical ratings that make up each player’s overall rating, check out Trail Blazers digital reporter Casey Holdahl’s report. Note that these ratings are subject to change throughout the NBA season, through various game updates.
That will hopefully be the case for the Trail Blazers’ rookies, Collins and Swanigan, who received generally low marks as untested NBA players. Swanigan took notice of his assigned rating and responded on Twitter:
Man I'm trash. I been knew that though lol. https://t.co/u1J8630N4p
