Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey leads NBA 2K27 ratings for new-look squad
The Philadelphia 76ers' revamped roster has been rated by NBA 2K27, with Tyrese Maxey emerging as the highest-rated player at 92. This comes after a disappointing end to last season, where the 76ers lost their final five games, including a 114-144 defeat to the New York Knicks on May 10, 2026.
What do the NBA 2K27 ratings reveal?
Maxey's 92 rating edges out teammates LeBron James, Joel Embiid, and Jaylen Brown, who each received 91. The 76ers acquired Brown via trade from the Boston Celtics and signed James as a free agent, creating a formidable All-Star lineup. Despite James' legendary status, he wasn't the top-rated player on his previous team, the Los Angeles Lakers, where Luka Doncic held a higher rating.
Why Maxey's rating stands out
Maxey's performance last season justified his top rating. He averaged 28.3 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game, playing 38 minutes in 70 regular-season games. His playoff heroics, including three 30-point games against the Celtics, further solidified his case. Brown, despite his Finals MVP performance, was rated lower, possibly due to Maxey's consistent all-around play.
What's next for the 76ers superteam?
The 76ers now face the challenge of integrating four All-Stars into one cohesive unit. Maxey's scoring prowess and playmaking ability will be crucial, but the team's success may hinge on how well James, Embiid, and Brown adapt to their new roles. With a fresh start and a revamped roster, the 76ers aim to bounce back from their recent struggles and make a deep playoff run.
