Devin Booker – 94

It’s been wrong to blame Devin Booker for the Phoenix Suns’ lack of success for most of his career. Every year, he’s done great even though the team has been losing because of bad players and an unstable head coach. But after making it to the NBA Finals in 2021 and getting guys like Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, it’s about time Booker got his flowers.

Booker is one of the most honest scorers in the NBA. He can score almost 28 points a game while missing very few free throws. All three levels give him perfect scores on offense, and his defense of the wings has improved a lot (B+). Since Chris Paul isn’t on the Suns anymore, they will depend on Booker to make plays for his peers and run the game (A+).

Jayson Tatum – 95

The Boston Celtics wanted to get back on track after losing to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, but Jayson Tatum was terrible in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. Tatum is usually one of the best scoring players in the league, but the tough Miami defense made it hard for him.

Tatum isn’t as good as other top players at making plays (A-). But he’s a great defender all around and a very good three-point shot (A+). Tatum and Jaylen Brown are two of the best players in the NBA for the Celtics, but the team will only go as far as Tatum takes them.

Jimmy Butler – 95

Inside, something changes. Jimmy Butler: It seems like all of his skills improve when the month of April comes around. After almost making the playoffs, Butler and the Miami Heat beat the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks to make it to the NBA Finals for the second time in three years. But Butler couldn’t keep up his amazing playoff run, and the Denver Nuggets beat him.

To sum up, Butler is probably the least skilled of the best players in NBA 2K24 but does something near the end of the season that makes him worthy of being among the best. Butler scores quickly and tough inside (A+), and he’s just as tough on defense (A+). Butler has found his home with the Heat after a few stops in other teams around the league.

Luka Doncic – 95

After the 2018 draft, many experts said that Luka Doncic would be the next big thing in the NBA. The Slovenian superstar has certainly turned heads with his clutch shooting and great playmaking, but Doncic hasn’t had as much team success as you’d hope for. Even though the Dallas Mavericks made it to the Western Conference Finals by surprise, they didn’t even make it to the play-in game.

But just based on skill, Doncic is one of the best players in the game. He can score from almost anywhere on the court and has perfect scoring grades. Doncic has the size of a forward, even though he is a point guard, which gives him an edge over other players in the same position.

Stephen Curry – 96

A lot of people thought that the Golden State Warriors’ title runs were over when Kevin Durant left the team. But Stephen Curry added another moment to his Hall of Fame career when he beat the Boston Celtics to win another title two years ago. They didn’t make it past the second round last year, but Curry has cemented his place in NBA history.

Curry is without a doubt one of the best point guards ever. He broke Ray Allen’s all-time three-point record, so many people already think he’s the best three-point shot of all time (A+). During attack, he’s a great player who constantly moves around to find his shot. Curry is one of the most important scoring players in the league.

LeBron James – 96

Even though it’s hard to believe, LeBron James will soon no longer be able to do huge dunks and stop players from behind. Even though King James is getting older, the Los Angeles Lakers still made it to the Western Conference Finals last year.

James will soon be 38 years old, which means he will soon decide to quit. So, until then, the Lakers will do everything they can to keep him fit. He’s still an A+ offensive player and an A- defensive player. In the end, James may not be the best basketball player in the world anymore, but he’ll always be known as one of the best.

Kevin Durant – 96

The Brooklyn Nets tried Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, but it didn’t work out, so they traded the champion to the Phoenix Suns. Even though Durant only played eight regular season games with the Suns, many people saw flashes of his greatness when he played with Devin Booker.

Being able to score from anywhere on the court makes Durant more dangerous, which gives other Spacebar Clicker players better chances. He’s a great player (A+) even when he’s not trying to be one, and he’ll give Booker and Bradley Beal a lot of chances to score. It’s possible that Durant is the best scorer in NBA history, and he’s almost impossible to defend.

Joel Embiid – 96

Last but not least, Joel Embiid was named MVP last year for his great regular season. The center for Philadelphia scored an amazing 33 points per game, which is the most in the league and a huge accomplishment for a center in this day and age. Embiid’s rough playoff run, on the other hand, made him and fans dislike him.

It’s easy for Embiid to score near the basket (A+) and from mid-range (A+), but he can also make a three-pointer (B-) every once in a while. Even though he hasn’t won Defensive Player of the Year, he’s an A+ middle defender who will hold down the defense.

Giannis Antetokounmpo – 96

After the Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA title in 2021, it looked like Giannis Antetokounmpo’s time had come. Antetokounmpo is still one of the best players in the league, even though Milwaukee hasn’t had much luck in the playoffs. Last year, they lost to the Miami Heat in the first round for no clear reason.

Antetokounmpo is one of the best inside scorers (A+) in the NBA. It’s just that he’s too big and strong for smaller players and too quick for bigger ones. Antetokounmpo will get close to the basket for an easy basket some way. It’s getting better for him to shoot from mid-range (B-) and three-point range (C), but his main skill is trying to break the rim at the basket.

Nikola Jokic – 98

It’s safe to say that Nikola Jokic was already thought to be the best player in the NBA after winning two straight MVP awards. Jokic, on the other hand, is the best player in NBA 2K24 after an amazing playoff run that led to the team’s first title.

In the NBA today, Jokic is the perfect big man. He is very good at scoring from all three levels of the floor and can handle the ball and set up moves for his friends (A+). Even though he’s an average defender (A-), his real skill shines when he’s on offense. This is why Jokic is the best player in the game: we may never see another type of player like him.
