2K Sports today released the first roster update for NBA 2K16 that takes into account performance from regular season games. The Warriors didn’t receive any upgrades despite a record-setting start, nor did the Rockets receive any downgrades after getting blown out in their first three games before bouncing back last night. Considering the season is so young it’s not surprising that only a handful of players were moved up or down.
Kobe Bryant is the player with the highest profile to be affected, losing three points in the Standing Shot 3PT attribute after a 6-29 start from outside the arc. Yet James Harden, who is 7-44 on threes so far this season and shooting only 30% from the field, had no ratings altered.
Players up: Andre Drummond (+1 to 84), Bradley Beal (+2 to 82), George Hill (+1 to 79), Rajon Rondo (+1 to 78), Nikola Mirotic (+1 to 77), Marcus Morris (+2 to 75), Julius Randle (+1 to 75)
Players down: Kobe Bryant (-2 to 83), Derrick Rose (-1 to 83), Gordon Hayward (-1 to 82), Goran Dragic (-1 to 80), Monta Ellis (-2 to 79), D’Angelo Russell (-2 to 75)
