 NBA 2K25 Releases 50-31 Players' Ranking List: Chet Is Better Than Randle And Ingram

NBA 2K25 has continued to build anticipation with the release of player ratings for the top 50-31, and there are already some surprising rankings that have fans talking. Notably, second-year player Chet Holmgren is rated higher than established All-Stars like Julius Randle and Brandon Ingram, sparking debates about the game's evaluation criteria.

50. Alperen Sengun - 85

49. Brandon Ingram - 85

48. Julius Randle - 85

47. Scottie Barnes - 85

46. Evan Mobley - 86

45. Dejounte Murray - 86

44. Derrick White - 86

43. Franz Wagner - 86

42. Jalen Williams - 86

41. Cade Cunningham - 86

40. Lauri Markkanen - 86

39. Jaren Jackson Jr. - 87

38. Jamal Murray - 87

37. Kristaps Porzingis - 87

36. Chet Holmgren - 87

35. DeMar DeRozan - 87

34. Jrue Holiday - 87

33. LaMelo Ball - 87

32. Karl-Anthony Towns - 88

31. Pascal Siakam - 88

Chet Holmgren, who missed his entire rookie season due to injury, is ranked 36th with an impressive rating of 87. This puts him above established stars like Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle, who are perennial All-Stars. Holmgren's high rating likely reflects his potential and the excitement around his unique skill set as a versatile big man. Known for his defensive prowess and shooting ability, Holmgren has the tools to be a game-changer, and NBA 2K25 seems to be banking on his upside.

 

Julius Randle and Brandon Ingram, both rated 85, find themselves surprisingly low on the list. Randle, who has been the cornerstone of the New York Knicks and a consistent All-Star, likely saw his rating drop due to injuries that limited his effectiveness last season. Similarly, Ingram, a key player for the New Orleans Pelicans, has been a reliable scorer and playmaker but seems to have been overshadowed by younger, emerging talents.

The Boston Celtics trio of Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White all received significant boosts, reflecting their contributions to the Celtics' championship run last season. 

Holiday, known for his elite defense and clutch performances, is rated at 87, while Porzingis, who has revitalized his career in Boston, also earns an 87. Derrick White, the often underrated guard, gets a well-deserved 86, highlighting his importance to the Celtics' success.

LaMelo Ball, coming off an injury-plagued season, sees his rating drop to 87. Despite the setbacks, Ball remains one of the most electrifying young guards in the league, and a healthy season could see his rating climb again. On the other hand, Pascal Siakam, rated at 88, has been recognized for his excellent play with the Indiana Pacers. Siakam's ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor makes him a valuable asset, and his rating reflects his status as one of the league's top forwards.

The NBA 2K25 player ratings continue to spark conversation and debate among fans. Holmgren's high rating, in particular, is a bold statement about his potential to become a star in the league. 

Meanwhile, established players like Randle and Ingram may feel slighted by their lower rankings, but they have the opportunity to prove the doubters wrong in the upcoming season. As the season unfolds, it will be interesting to see how these ratings hold up and whether the young stars can live up to the hype.
