Predicting NBA2K18 Ratings for the Dallas Mavericks

Dirk Nowitzki – 80 (previously 80)
Dirk is one of the few guys on the team that I believe will stay the same with his rating. They might initially lower him a few spots due to his age, but his production last season should warrant him to stay around the 80 number.
Nerlens Noel – 79 (previously 78)
Noel finished the season with a 78 rating and I believe they will reward his end of season play with upping his rating a bit. If someone like a Nick Young is a 72 and Kristaps Porzingis a 86, then Noel should slide in around 80
Dwight Powell – 70 (previously 75)
Powell finished the season last year rated higher than Dorian Finney-Smith and Devin Harris. If Finney-Smith finished as a 72, then Powell has to start off lower than that considering his season last year.
Salah Mejri – 73 (previously 75)
Mejri had an average season, but will enter his second season at 32 years old. I believe 2K will lower his rating a few notches with the ability to go up with impressive play.
Josh McRoberts – 70 (previously 71)
Plagued by injuries once again in Miami, McRoberts had another lackluster season. His rating shouldn’t increase higher than his end of season rating of 71.
