Rating reveal season keeps rolling and honestly the community can't get enough. Yesterday we saw AJ Dybantsa headline the rookie class with a 79 overall for the Washington Wizards, and now Cameron Boozer is matching that number as he heads to the Memphis Grizzlies in NBA 2K27.

Boozer, Darryn Peterson, and Dybantsa are all sitting at 79, which means three of the top four picks from the 2026 draft are tied at the same overall. You already know the arguments are brewing in every comment section and Discord server about who actually deserves the edge. People are already sharpening their takes.

Memphis is a fun landing spot for Boozer in the 2K universe. The Grizzlies have always been one of my favorite teams to run with in online play because of the chaotic energy they bring to competitive matches. I love building around young talent in franchise modes, and a 79 overall rookie is a solid piece to develop if you're the type who grinds through seasons with your squad.

The thing about rookie ratings that I've always loved is how much they matter to a fanbase beyond just the numbers. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again: rating reveals are basically a holiday for sports gaming communities. Players take these numbers personally. Fans take them personally. And when three of the top four picks are all tied at 79, it turns the whole conversation into a referendum on potential rather than a clean hierarchy.

That tie at the top also tells you something about how 2K rates this draft class. There's no clear runaway talent separated from the pack by a few overall points, at least not among the names we've seen so far. The dev team looked at Boozer, Dybantsa, and Peterson and saw three players on roughly the same tier. Whether that holds up over the course of a real NBA season is a completely different question, and one that fans will be tracking all year.

We're still waiting on the rest of the rookie ratings to trickle out as we get closer to the game's global release. Every drop brings another wave of reactions, another set of clips from players reacting to their own numbers, another round of community debate. The slow rollout is kind of genius from a hype perspective. It keeps the conversation alive for weeks instead of dumping everything at once and moving on.

For Grizzlies fans specifically, seeing Boozer slot in at 79 feels good. Your guy got his number, and now it's about what he does with it, both on the virtual hardwood and the real thing.

If you're already planning your MyTeam or franchise builds around the new rookie class, Boozer in Memphis feels like one of those picks that could pay off fast. Fun system, city that breathes basketball. Sometimes the 2K meta aligns perfectly with real-world vibes, and this feels like one of those times to me.
