Harrison Barnes – 83 (previously 80)

Of the already released players, Gordon Hayward is starting off at an 88 while D’Angelo Russell an 80. Barnes had a career year in Dallas last season and deserves to have his rating bumped up a few to start the season. He will be the highest rated Maverick.

Wesley Matthews – 75 (previously 76)

Matthews finished the season rated lower than both Seth Curry and J.J. Barea. He had another down year to his standards and 2K will probably go lower instead of higher from his end of season rating.

Dorian Finney-Smith – 73 (previously 72)

Finney-Smith saw his rating go up during the season, especially considering he played the most games of any Maverick last season. He shouldn’t get bumped much, but I’ll give him one or two notches up from his end of season rating.
