In all probability, Wembanyama’s starting overall in NBA 2K24 could be higher than what’s stated here. He might be a leap above the rest, but Miller and Henderson will be worth watching. The community has been divided, with Charlotte Hornets choosing Miller, as many feel Henderson to be the better of the two.

They’re followed closely by the Thompson twins, Dick and Frenchman Coulibaly. Down the list, Cam Whitmore is certainly an interesting name. His low pick resulted from his injury record, as many mock drafts had predicted him going at a higher pick.

Readers are advised to remember that these are speculations and not official NBA 2K24 numbers revealed by 2K Sports. The Official overall ratings for all players, including the rookies, will likely be declared following the first trailer.
