A Guide to the Atlanta Hawks in NBA 2K17
By Nile Goodwyn
Kent Bazemore
2015-16 Stats:
11.6 PPG, 5.1RPG, 2.3 APG in 27.8 MPG
NBA 2K16 rating (release date):
72
The Hawks’ 70 million dollar man chose to stay in Atlanta for another four years on the first day of the 2016 offseason. After being thrusted into the starting lineup after Demarre Carroll’s departure to Toronto, Bazemore had a career year, doubling his scoring output and helping the Hawks to 48 wins last season. He is also one of the only players on the Hawks to receive their overall from 2K early.
This rating seems about right, and a six-point jump from the beginning of last season shows the hard work and progression has worked for Bazemore, a former undrafted free agent. Watch for his overall to jump to an 80 or higher with a hot start to the season.
