The Washington Wizards are gearing up for the new season, and fans got an early glimpse of the team's rankings in the latest 2K27 release. Anthony Davis was rated a 90 overall, making him the 21st best player in the game, and the first Wizard to eclipse a 90 overall since John Wall did so in 2018.
What happened?
The latest 2K27 release has ranked Washington Wizards players, with Trae Young drawing an 87 overall, enough to check in as the 35th best player in the game, one spot ahead of Kyrie Irving and two ahead of Cooper Flagg. Alex Sarr checked in as the third-highest rated player after being tabbed an 83 overall, while Kyshawn George was the only other Wizard to eclipse an 80 overall in the game.
Why it matters for Washington Wizards
The rankings are a significant indicator of the team's performance, and with the Wizards losing their last 5 games, with their last result being a 130-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on 2026-04-12, the team will be looking to improve their standings. AJ Dybantsa tied with both Darryn Peterson and Cam Boozer atop the 2026 rookie class ratings after all three players drew a 79 overall, while he checked in as the fifth-highest rated player.
What comes next?
The Wizards will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses, and with the new rankings, the team will be aiming to improve their performance, and with Deandre Ayton, who arrived via trade from the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening week of free agency, joining the team, the Wizards will be looking to make a strong comeback. The team is also rated the 14th-best team in the game after drawing an 82 overall alongside the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. Several players were also tabbed among the best across the NBA in various categories, with Tre Johnson drawing a 98 overall and was ranked the fourth-best mid-range shooter in the game, while Alex Sarr ranked behind only Victor Wembanyama among the best shot blockers after the Wizards starting center was tabbed a 97 overall in the category. The Wizards will be looking to capitalize on their new rankings and make a strong push for the playoffs, and with their recent form being 0W-0D-5L, the team will be looking to turn their fortunes around.
