NBA 2K21: G League Player 3-Point Ratings

How does NBA 2K21 rate the top sharpshooters of the 2020-21 G League season?

Hello, and happy 2K Tuesday! Today, we hop back into the Official 2K Roster to examine 3-Point ratings for G League Players in NBA 2K21

The following is a list of players that are in the Official 2K Sports Roster for NBA 2K21 on the PlayStation 4 that also made the G League’s 2021 Official Leaders list for 3-Point percentage. This list goes off of the June 8, 2021 edition of the roster.

Spoiler alert: there is absolutely no correlation between a player’s 3-point percentage in the “Gubble” and their 2K rating. In a way, it’s understandable. This “season” was a small sample size, as teams played only 15 games, so it would be a bit dramatic to drastically alter the numbers based off of this season. However, it’s still disappointing.

By and large, the ratings on this list are based off of percentages 2K assigned at earlier points in these players’ careers: previous NBA stints, college games, overseas leagues. Heck, some of these numbers could have been randomly assigned when the player was created because the editor had insufficient data at the time to scale their production.

What do you think of the chart below? How do you think G League 3-point ratings should be scaled in the future? Which rating sticks out to you the most? Let me know your answers in the comments!
