The much-anticipated NBA 2K25 player ratings for the incoming 2024-25 rookie class have been revealed, sending waves of excitement among basketball fans. Leading the pack are Zaccharie Risacher of the Atlanta Hawks and Alex Sarr of the Washington Wizards, who both received the highest rating among first-year players at 75 overall.

Risacher, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, has impressed scouts with his skills on the court. While his rating is slightly lower than previous top picks, such as Paolo Banchero and Victor Wembanyama, who received 78 and 84 ratings respectively, Risacher's talent and potential are undeniable. With the Atlanta Hawks, he has the opportunity to make a significant impact in his rookie season.

On the other hand, Alex Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick, shares the same 75 overall rating as Risacher. Sarr had initially been in contention for the top selection in the draft, and while he fell to the Wizards at No. 2, his defensive prowess displayed during the Summer League cannot be overlooked. Averaging an impressive 2.5 blocks and 0.8 steals per game in four appearances, Sarr showcased his ability to protect the rim effectively. However, he struggled to find his rhythm offensively, only managing to score 5.5 points per game and struggled with shooting percentages from the field and beyond the arc.

The NBA 2K25 ratings also unveiled the performance of Bronny James, the talented guard from the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite being the No. 55 overall pick in the draft, James was rated among his second-round peers with a solid rating of 68. While he faced some inconsistency from behind the arc in the Summer League, James finished strong, scoring at least 12 points in each of his final two games.

Joining Risacher, Sarr, and James in the upper tier of rookie ratings are Stephon Castle, Reed Sheppard, and Donovan Clingan, all receiving a commendable 73 overall rating. These young prospects have already garnered attention and are expected to make an impact for their respective teams in the upcoming season.

As the NBA 2K25 rookie ratings continue to generate excitement and debate, fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming season to witness these promising talents showcase their skills on the NBA stage.
