Every year, player ratings on NBA 2K make up one of the most consistent sources of offseason conversation.

And the summer and fall of 2024 were no exceptions.

Now that the game is out, and we've had a chance to examine everyone's rating, it's time to discuss the B/R community's most overrated players.

Following thousands of your votes pegging players as either "overrated," "accurately rated" or "underrated," these nine topped the dubious list.

Tobias Harris (80)

42% overrated | 42% accurately rated | 17% underrated

Other 80s: Keegan Murray, Jaden McDaniels

Tobias Harris barely snuck into the top 100 based on player ratings, and that feels pretty accurate.

For years, the 32-year-old was a convenient scapegoat on Philadelphia 76ers teams that often failed to live up to expectations. And given the max salary Philly gave him, the reactions were understandable.

However, in the right role and at the right spot in an organizational hierarchy, Harris can still be a helpful, floor-spacing forward. During his five-plus seasons with the 76ers, he averaged 17.6 points and 1.5 threes, while shooting 36.9 percent from deep.

James Harden (84)

45% overrated | 39% accurately rated | 16% underrated

Other 84s: CJ McCollum, Jalen Green, Mikal Bridges

I hate to break it to you, but you all are just wrong on this one.

It's fair to expect a little decline in James Harden's age-35 campaign, but this rating suggests he won't be a top 50 player, which borders on ludicrous.

Catch-all numbers suggested he was in the top 25 in 2023-24. And with Paul George gone and Kawhi Leonard currently unavailable, the 10-time All-Star is going to put up some big numbers that will support placement around that range again.

Last season, even in a reduced role, he averaged 16.6 points and 8.5 assists while shooting 38.1 percent from deep. He still has some of the league's best instincts as a playmaker and pick-and-roll creator.

And to think Harden is currently worse than Bradley Beal (85), Brandon Ingram (85) and DeMar DeRozan (87) feels like a bit of a stretch.

Draymond Green (83)

47% overrated | 41% accurately rated | 12% underrated

Other 83s: Zach LaVine, Kyle Kuzma and Desmond Bane

This is another one where the player in question might actually be underrated (shout out to the 12 percent who voted against the grain).

Draymond Green may not do a ton of the things that endear basketball players to young fans, such as score, isolate defenders or hit a ton of threes, but he's still one of the league's best gap-fillers.

Depending on the opponent, the 34-year-old can guard every position. There may not be anyone in the NBA who's better at creating out of the short roll. And last season, one of his long-term weaknesses seemed rectified: He made 39.5 percent of his threes.

If anything, this rating suggests the little things Green does so well should carry more weight with the overall number.

Bradley Beal (85)

48% overrated | 43% accurately rated | 9% underrated

Other 85s: Alperen Şengün, Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram

Just because a player is in a smaller role than he's typically played and his numbers are down as a result of that, doesn't necessarily mean he's worse.

After averaging 27.0 points and 5.5 assists over his last five years with the Washington Wizards, Bradley Beal put up 18.2 and 5.0 in his first season with the Phoenix Suns.

However, the 31-year-old also shot a career-high 43.0 percent from deep in 2023-24 and ably split playmaking duties with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.

Still, this voting result makes some sense. Beal struggles with durability (though that might not have a huge impact on overall rating). And though he's rarely a straight-up liability on defense, he can get targeted on that end.

Given a couple of his peers at 85 (like Alperen Şengün and Scottie Barnes), Beal could maybe be a point or two lower (or those up-and-comers could be higher).

Deandre Ayton (83)

50% overrated | 40% accurately rated | 10% underrated

Other 83s: Tyler Herro, Michael Porter Jr.

The best way to support this result is probably just to point out some of the centers currently rated below Deandre Ayton.

According to catch-all metrics, Jonas Valančiūnas (82), Ivica Zubac (82), Isaiah Hartenstein (81), Daniel Gafford (81), Nic Claxton (81) and Dereck Lively II (81) were all better in 2023-24, but they're lower than Ayton on 2K's list.

And while there's obviously a lot of projection at play in these ratings (guessing the future in sports requires it), the 26-year-old hasn't really shown signs of dramatic development in years.

Ayton is too averse to contact inside. He's a good mid-range shooter, but he hasn't really extended that range to the three-point line. And he rarely creates for teammates.

LaMelo Ball (87)

50% overrated | 38% accurately rated | 12% underrated

Other 87s: Jrue Holiday, Jamal Murray, DeMar DeRozan

It's fair to wonder if elevating LaMelo Ball to this tier is happening a little early, but when he's available, he's one of the most productive guards in the NBA.

Over the last two seasons, the 23-year-old has only played 58 games, but he averaged 23.5 points, 8.3 assists and 3.7 threes, while shooting 36.9 percent from deep.

And though he's certainly not a lockdown perimeter defender, Ball's size (6'7" with a 6'11") and knack for getting into passing lanes make him an interesting defensive playmaker.

What this rating (and the votes regarding it) really comes down to is how important you think durability should be.

If you're only expecting Ball to give the Charlotte Hornets 40-50 games this season, it's probably fair to call him overrated, but durability doesn't have a huge impact in the game itself.

Rudy Gobert (85)

50% overrated | 38% accurately rated | 12% underrated

Other 85s: Alperen Şengün, Julius Randle

For most of his career, at least based on the reactions of fans and plenty of media members to him, Rudy Gobert was one of the most underrated players in the NBA.

Like Green, a lot of his best attributes aren't the things that generate standom, but they do impact winning.

Thanks to his rim protection, rim running and finishing around the rim, over his last five postseason appearances, Gobert's teams are plus-4.0 points per 100 possessions when he plays and minus-8.3 when he doesn't.

But the three-time All-Star is entering his age-32 season. He's not quite as quick as he was a few years ago, and it's fair to value the kind of offensive creation provided by Alperen Şengün a little more than Gobert's ability to anchor a defense.

Jordan Poole (80)

53% overrated | 35% accurately rated | 12% underrated

Other 80s: Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Malik Monk

To buy Jordan Poole as an 80 (and thus, one of the top 100 current players on NBA 2K25), you have to believe his 2023-24 campaign was a total outlier.

Catch-all metrics ranked the 25-year-old outside the top 250 last season. When you factor in volume, Scoot Henderson was the only player in the league who scored less efficiently than Poole, who averaged 17.4 points and 15.2 field-goal attempts.

Once you add Poole's defense (or lack thereof) and his peers at this number, it's easy to agree with the voters on this one.

Marcus Smart is a plus defender and playmaker for his position, and Malik Monk's development as a creator makes it pretty easy to take him over Poole, too.

Kawhi Leonard (92)

56% overrated | 35% accurately rated | 9% underrated

Other 92s: Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, Kyrie Irving

As is the case with Ball, this really comes down to Kawhi Leonard's durability. And even if you crank all of his durability attributes up to 99, he stays at 99.

And frankly, it's kind of absurd to think that a healthy Leonard is on the same level as Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell and Kyrie Irving and worse than Jalen Brunson (93), Devin Booker (93) and Anthony Edwards (93).

When he's available, there are maybe five or six players in the NBA who impact winning as much as the six-time All-Star.

The 33-year-old has quietly become one of the league's most consistent high-volume three-point shooters. He can dominate from the mid-range, too. He's not a game-changing playmaker, but he's a plus there, relative to his position.

And though he's not at the level he was when he was competing for Defensive Player of the Year awards, Leonard can still neutralize plenty of opposing wings and forwards.

Again, you (or the developers of 2K) can justify just about any rating by saying you think this is what's going to happen. It's fair to ding him more than the game-makers did for injuries. And his 92 is probably within the margin of error.

But it still feels like Leonard is closer to the top five than he is to being outside the top 15.
