Hence, not only did he improve on his overall offensive output with respect to recent seasons, but was also part of a successful team that will now be looking to come back next year and make another go at the championship. While critics might argue that at 36, Paul’s rating does not deserve to be improved considering that he is well and truly a player in decline.

Regardless, Chris Paul is considered to be one of the most intelligent basketball players in the league and showed last season what he can do with the right pieces around him. He had a career-best season with respect to multiple statistics, and can therefore be concerned to see an improvement in his overall rating. Therefore, Chris Paul is expected to have an overall rating of 90 in NBA 2K22.

Despite the age, a lot of fans might argue that he deserves a higher rating. However, Paul is at the twilight of his career, and NBA 2K22 does not have a parameter for what is his biggest strength - basketball intelligence. Regardless, with the game set to drop on 10th September, fans need to wait for a couple of weeks to find out the official rating.
