New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis has been given a 94 overall rating by the basketball video game NBA 2K19 which will be released in September.

NBA 2K released a few player rankings ahead of its highly anticipated video game which will debut this September. Among the players whose ratings were released was power forward and New Orleans Pelicans all-star Anthony Davis. The game revealed that Davis will have a 94 overall rating this year.

Each player is rated on an overall point scale up to 99 points. This rating is then broken down into sub-categories such as 3-point shooting, passing, defense, steals and more. The culmination of these leads to the overall point score.

To no one’s surprise, LeBron James leads the NBA with a 98 overall ranking, a pretty remarkable feat for someone entering his 16th year in the league.

Anthony Davis’ 94 overall rating currently places him 2nd in the league behind only behind LeBron among players who have had their rankings revealed. This may change as NBA heavyweights such as Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and James Harden will soon have their rankings revealed as well.

Needless to say, however, Anthony Davis will still be among the top of the list for best rankings in the game.

For a quick comparison, last year Davis was pegged with a 92 overall ranking before the season. AD then went on to post monster numbers last year averaging better than 28 points, 11 rebounds, and a league-leading 2.6 blocks a game.

NBA 2K19 is slated to be released on September 11th of this year. Are you a gamer who is excited about this release? Do you agree with the Davis ranking or should he be ranked higher? Sound off in the comments below and tell us what you think.
