James was pleased with his rating, while Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart felt they may have been shortchanged a bit at 80 and 76, respectively. Overall, the Lakers received a 93 rating as a team.

NBA 2K19 identified their offense (96) being the stronger than defense (90). Individually, Brandon Ingram is the next-highest rated player after James at 82.

In terms of veterans outside of James who the Lakers signed in free agency, Rajon Rondo edges JaVale McGee for highest player rating, 79 to 77. Many believe Rondo will play a pivotal role and is primed for a strong season in Los Angeles.

Amongst the rookies, Moritz Wagner garnered a 72 rating, followed by Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
at 70, and Isaac Bong at 68. It’s difficult to gauge how accurate Wagner’s player rating is considering his Summer League was cut short due to injury.

However, Mykhailiuk impressed, proving to be more than a knockdown shooter, and should see his rating improve as the season wears on.
