Victor Wembanyama headlines the latest reveal with a 99 block rating.
NBA 2K27’s latest ratings reveal goes well beyond one skill. Six new Top 10 lists map out the players who can protect the rim, control the mid-range, lock down the perimeter, create off the dribble, finish above the rim and attack at full speed.
Three players reach a perfect 99 in this wave: Victor Wembanyama in shot blocking, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in mid-range shooting and Kyrie Irving in ball handling. The other category leaders— Ausar Thompson, Anthony Edwards and De’Aaron Fox—top their lists at 97.
These are individual attribute ratings, not overall ratings. That distinction matters: the lists reveal specialized strengths and lineup roles more than a complete player hierarchy.
Victor Wembanyama owns the only 99 block rating in the reveal, two points ahead of Alexandre Sarr.

USG Read What the six lists tell us
Versatility may be the biggest ratings win
Amen Thompson is the only player in this reveal to appear in three categories: 93 perimeter defense, 96 driving dunk and 93 speed with ball. That blend gives him value on both ends and makes him one of the most flexible players in the ratings drop.
Kyrie Irving and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander each pair elite mid-range scoring with elite ball control. Anthony Edwards and Ja Morant both combine high-end driving dunk ratings with a place in the speed-with-ball Top 10, creating the kind of downhill pressure competitive players look for.
Cleveland also keeps surfacing. Evan Mobley represents the Cavaliers in shot blocking; James Harden, Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell all appear in ball handling; Mitchell adds a speed-with-ball ranking; and Derrick Jones Jr. lands in driving dunk. No single list tells the whole story, but that is notable attribute depth across a roster.
Largest lead: Wembanyama’s 99 block rating sits two points above Sarr.
Tightest list: Driving dunk spans only three points, from 97 to 94.
Deep creator pool: Eight ball handlers rate 95 or better.
No perfect perimeter defender: Ausar Thompson leads that category at 97.
