It’s fun having Kentucky players in the WNBA now. Obviously, it’s great to watch former Cats flourish in the pros, but now, they can flourish on your video game console. In NBA 2K20, 2K added WNBA teams to the game, and they’ve done so for each annual new release of the game. Now, we get […]
It’s fun having Kentucky players in the WNBA now. Obviously, it’s great to watch former Cats flourish in the pros, but now, they can flourish on your video game console. In NBA 2K20, 2K added WNBA teams to the game, and they’ve done so for each annual new release of the game. Now, we get to play with Rhyne Howard in NBA 2K26.
Howard comes in at an 86 overall, and as for Georgia Amoore, the other former cat in the WNBA, she’s supposed to be added to the game at a later date. Being a top 10 pick in the WNBA Draft, Amoore will probably be in the mid to high 70s when she’s added to the Washington Mystics.
She is the third-highest rated player on the Atlanta Dream, coming behind Brittney Griner (89 OVR) and Brionna Jones (89 OVR). Allisha Gray, who has been playing at an MVP level in real life, sits at an 85 OVR. Howard’s 83 three-point shooting is second on the Dream, behind Gray (84).
The Dream are one of the lower-rated teams in the game, sitting at an 82 OVR. However, that rating isn’t very reflective of how things are looking in the real-life WNBA. Atlanta holds a 21-12 record, the second-best in the WNBA and best in the Eastern Conference. Only the Minnesota Lynx (28-5) have a better record than the Dream.
Howard (and Amoore, actually) once dropped 43 points in a single game at Kentucky. But in NBA 2K? Make it 43 at the half.
