Tony Bradley has become a decent reserve big in the NBA, and his rating reflects that. This rating will grant Drummond a decent shot at fighting for the starting role, which may not be too far removed from reality if Vooch doesn’t have a bounce-back season here. Posting his worst season in the last five years and soon set to turn 32 years old in October, I don’t expect the team over at 2K to treat Nikola Vucevic too kindly in the next iteration of their game. That being said, a promising showing in the Las Vegas Summer League could be indicative of his real-life development. Until Mark Simonovic can prove that he deserves quality NBA minutes and earns a rotational role, I don’t expect too much movement on this front for his rating. Still, he’s far too singularly talented of a rebounder to get knocked down too far.

In contrast to the NBA Live series, the NBA 2K games have repeated cover players, notably featuring Iverson on the cover for the first five games in the series and Shaquille O'Neal in back-to-back appearances for NBA 2K6 and NBA 2K7. The NBA 2K covers have each featured at least one NBA player, beginning with Allen Iverson in the original NBA 2K.
