The slowest players in NBA 2K27: watch out for the stats

Today we provide a statistical overview of the most well-known basketball game in the world

The NBA 2K27 socks in action.

With NBA 2K27 now available, debates over player ratings are once again at the forefront. However, beyond the famous overall ratings, the new video game also allows for the analysis of much more specific attributes. One of them is speed, both with and without the ball, and the list of the slowest players in the NBA leaves a clear conclusion: centers completely dominate the ranking.

In fact, there is one player who occupies the top position once again. Brook Lopez appears again as the player with the lowest average speed rating in NBA 2K27, with a 25 in both speed and speed with the ball, resulting in an average of just 25 points.

Brook Lopez is the slowest again

The veteran center from the Los Angeles Clippers shares the first position with Jamarion Sharp, also from the Clippers. Both have exactly the same rating: 25 in speed and 25 in speed with the ball.

Lopez's presence at the top of this ranking is not exactly a novelty. According to analysis from HoopsHype, the big man once again leads this ranking after having appeared in previous editions of the video game.

Following him are Branden Carlson from Portland and Vladislav Goldin from Miami. Both have an average rating of 31. Carlson receives a 35 in speed and a 27 with the ball, while Goldin gets a 33 and a 30 respectively.

The fifth position belongs to Luke Kornet from San Antonio, with an average of 35 after receiving a 38 in speed and a 33 with the ball.

Rudy Gobert and Mitchell Robinson among the slowest

The list also includes some much more recognized names for NBA fans. Walker Kessler from the Los Angeles Lakers appears in sixth place with an average of 36, thanks to his ratings of 37 in speed and 35 with the ball.

In the next tier, we find a three-way tie. Rudy Gobert, Mitchell Robinson, and Ivica Zubac share an average of 36.5.

Gobert's case is particularly striking because NBA 2K27 grants him a 48 in speed, but only a 25 in speed with the ball. That difference causes his average to drop to 36.5 points. Robinson receives exactly the same ratings, while Zubac gets a 43 in speed and a 30 with the ball.

The tenth position is once again shared. Ryan Kalkbrenner from Charlotte and Luka Garza from Boston present an average of 37. Kalkbrenner has a 44 in speed and a 30 with the ball, while Garza records a 40 and a 34.

Zach Edey also appears in the ranking

The list continues with Micah Potter from Portland, who reaches an average of 37.5 thanks to his ratings of 43 in speed and 32 with the ball.

In thirteenth place, we find two other centers: Jusuf Nurkic from Utah and Zach Edey from Memphis. Both have an average rating of 38.

Nurkic has a 51 in speed, but only a 25 with the ball, while Edey receives a 46 and a 30 respectively.

The ranking provided by HoopsHype is closed by Rocco Zikarsky from Minnesota, with an average of 38.5. The player has a 48 in speed and a 29 with the ball.

The ranking presents a clear picture of how NBA 2K27 interprets the speed of interior players. The big centers dominate a list where Brook Lopez once again places himself at the top, though this time he shares the dubious honor with Jamarion Sharp.
