As we recently noted, the ranking of NBA players doesn't carry much, if any, real-world importance. But ranking players in the virtual world? That's a different story, at least if you're one of the millions of people who enjoys playing the NBA 2K video game franchise.

So for those of you looking forward to firing up your video game console of choice in order to live out your Trail Blazers fantasies on NBA 2K18, the latest iteration of the long-running franchise which was only recently released, here are the complete ratings for the team as a whole and every player on the roster, including their player types. As always, some of the ratings are rather debatable -- Caleb Swanigan's ratings seem a bit low, especially considering his three-point shooting percentage at Purdue -- but that typically gets worked out once the first few updates are rolled out.

With that said, here are the ratings...
