3 Grizzlies players who rated too high, too low, and just right on NBA 2K25

Though the regular season may still be a couple of months away, NBA 2K25 is slated to release in just a matter of weeks, meaning basketball fans worldwide will at least be able to see their favorite ball clubs return to the hardwood in a virtual setting as soon as September 6.

Recently, 2K Sports released its ratings for all players that will be featured in the upcoming game and, as is the case with any such list, consensus feeling does not appear to be approval, especially when it comes to some specific members of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Now, not all is out of whack when it comes to the latest rankings release, as some players were, in fact, assessed beautifully. However, others were seen attached to egregious grades which, naturally, fans have not shied away from voicing their opinion about.

With this in mind, today we pinpoint three Grizzlies players who received ratings that were way too low, way too high, and, excitingly enough, just right.

Memphis Grizzlies NBA 2K25 ratings

Jake LaRavia: Way too high

2K25 Rating: 75

It feels weird to put a negative spin on a Grizzlies player receiving a higher than expected rating heading into 2024-25, but, if we're being honest, 75 may be a bit too high for the likes of Jake LaRavia.

Don't get us wrong, the 22-year-old has displayed flashes of becoming a solid rotation player throughout his two seasons with the franchise, especially during the final 22 games of last season where he averaged 15.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals on 37.7 percent shooting from deep, but flashes are all he's showcased.

Since being snatched up with the 19 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, LaRavia has yet to prove capable of putting forth consistent levels of production at the next level and has regularly found himself revolving in and out of the G League over this span.

With all this in mind, how is it that the promising, albeit unproven youngster is just two rating points lower than tried and true impact contributors in Luke Kennard and Santi Aldama (both 77), and is only four points separated from GG Jackson, a player who proved that he's worthy of being viewed as a legitimate cornerstone talent and has some going as far as to put him in the conversation of being one of the greatest second-round picks of all time?
