The NBA 2K22 video game was released recently, sending the fans of the franchise into a frenzy. The game has received favorable reviews and is expected to do well in the gaming market.
Top-rated players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant are the popular picks for fans when they play NBA 2K22, but several players are also selected purely due to their pace. Speed is a major factor in the game, and in this article, we take a look at the top five fastest players in NBA 2K22.
Listing the five fastest players in NBA 2K22
Fast point guards like Russell Westbrook and De'Aaron Fox made the top-five list, and even LeBron James made the top-20 in the game this year. On that note, let's take a look at the top-five.
#5 Keon Johnson, LA Clippers
Speed: 97 / Speed with the ball: 84 / OVR: 90.5
Keon Johnson will make his NBA debut for the LA Clippers in the upcoming season. He was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 21st overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and was immediately traded to the Western Conference heavyweights.
Johnson has been given an incredible pace rating and it is astonishing he has made the top-five already, without having played a single game in the league. Keon Johnson is a shooting guard by trade, and his electrifying pace will certainly make life hard for a lot of NBA 2K22 players.
#4 Devon Dotson, Chicago Bulls
Speed: 91 / Speed with the ball: 91 / OVR: 91
Devon Dotson went undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft, but the Chicago Bulls swooped by signing him to a two-way contract. He plied his trade for their G League affiliate Windy City Bulls first but was then instated in the squad by the Chicago Bulls last season.
Dotson's pace is evenly spread out, which makes him an enticing prospect to have in the game. Standing at 6'2", Dotson plays the point guard position, and it is safe to say that he will be one of the most popular players gamers play with on NBA 2K22.

#3 Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies
Speed: 92 / Speed with the ball: 92 / OVR: 92
2020 Rookie of the Year award winner and Memphis Grizzlies' dynamic point guard Ja Morant takes third spot in the NBA 2K22 in terms of pace. Morant is one of the emerging point guards in the league and is touted to become the best player in his position in the next few years.
Morant's shooting in NBA 2K22 lets players down in the game, but his pace and playmaking is top-notch. He is also a good finisher around the rim, and gamers won't mind using him in the game.
#2 Russell Westbrook, LA Lakers
Speed: 96 / Speed with the ball: 95 / OVR: 95.5
LA Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook is the second-fastest player on NBA 2K22, and that is a testament to his real-life fitness. Westbrook is 32-years-old but still has not lost pace with or without the ball. His athleticism remains intact, and the 2017 MVP should remain a popular choice on NBA 2K22.
Westbrook joined the LA Lakers this summer, forming one of the most fearsome trios in the league alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Lakers are gunning for the title, and with Westbrook's signing, they have proved that they don't want to leave any stone unturned.
#1 De'Aaron Fox - Sacramento Kings
Speed: 97 / Speed with the ball: 97 / OVR: 97
Sacramento Kings' starting point guard and franchise point guard De'Aaron Fox takes the top spot on the list. Fox has a scintillating 97 pace stat, which makes him the fastest player on NBA 2K22. Fox is also a good passer and scorer in the game, making him the complete offensive package and a must-have player to play with.
On the NBA front, Fox recently made news when he was pictured working out ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season. Fox and his Sacramento Kings will be looking to make the playoffs next season, after desperately failing to do so the previous campaign.
