247Sports is one of the fastest growing sports networks online and they have now provided us with a list of the top players on each team in NBA 2K17. Most teams only have one player in this spot, but in the case of a tie, both will be listed.
The following is the list of players given, broken down by team, with their overall current rating shown in the parentheses.
Atlanta Hawks – Paul Milsap (86)
Boston Celtics – Isaiah Thomas & Al Horford (85)
Brooklyn Nets – Brook Lopez (81)
Charlotte Hornets – Kemba Walker (85)
Chicago Bulls – Jimmy Butler (88)

Most of these ratings are not a big surprise, like with LeBron James being the top rated player, though it is very interesting to see rookie Ben Simmons already tied for the highest rated spot on the 76ers, even if that is at a 79 overall.
NBA 2K17 will technically be releasing for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on Tuesday, September 20, but those who choose to pre-order the game or get the Early Tip-Off version will be able to get the game on Friday, September 16.
