Anthony Davis put up a big number this summer when his NBA 2K18 player ranking was revealed by 2K Sports. But now we know he’s officially atop the list of power forwards in the game.
The extensive run-up to the video game’s annual release has included a number of surprises and bonuses like all-time teams and even the voices of Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. We’ve even seen a bit of gameplay from a GameStop expo.
The latest bit of excitement has been the reveal of the top 10 centers in the game and, most recently, power forwards. Davis’ 94 beat out Golden State’s Draymond Green’s 88 for the top spot. In fact, there’s a pretty significant drop off after AD top ranking: three 87s — Paul Milsap, Blake Griffin and Kevin Love — round out the top five.

This gives the Pelicans a pretty impressive NBA 2K18 roster, with Davis and Demarcus Cousins atop two position rankings.
That’s great news for Pels fans who are hoping for a big season out of their team. And it’s got to be a nice boost for Boogie and Davis to beat out some impressive players atop the rankings.
It’s always interesting to see how players react to their rankings, and this summer in particular has been very enlightening. Davis and Cousins certainly have impressed the game developers heading into the season, now all they have to do is match that potential on the court. Hopefully it will go better than their careers together did in NBA 2K17.
