Best Atlanta Hawks NBA 2K20 MyTeam Cards
By Dallin Duffy
Honorable Mentions/Budget Options:
This ‘Amethyst’ version of Trae is the fourth-highest rated Trae card in the game and can be had for very cheap. Young is not a good defender in real life, but 2K went a little overboard here. This Trae can barely stay in front of anybody, and if he has to cover a taller point guard like Ben Simmons or Magic Johnson, good luck.
Because of his terrible defensive stats, 2K over-compensated on his offensive stats to get him to the 90 overall, and he plays like a diamond on offense. He carries a 90 three-point rating and all the essential outside scoring badges.
One of the cheapest diamonds in the game, Steve Smith is a do-it-all card with a nice deep shot. Hall of Fame badges like Difficult Shots, Volume Shooter and Tireless Scorer make him a lethal offensive threat and is especially good in catch-and-shoot situations.
He’ll work best as a 2nd or 3rd option, but you could build a team around him as well.
This card was added way back in November, and with ‘Nique’s other card being a 99 overall opal, this diamond version has gotten pretty cheap. It can be had for 10-15k MT (the game’s virtual currency) and is worth that just to play with the Hawks’ greatest player ever.
This version of Wilkins features a 98 driving dunk rating and a flashy dunk tendency of 100 out of 100. He’s an okay defender and can drain threes if left open. If you can’t afford the opal, this is a great place to settle.
Like Dominique above, this Josh Smith is a budget version of a 99 overall card of his. For just above 20k, this Smith is a steal and can do just about anything on the court. He has great defensive stats with 95 block, 95 steal, and 95 shot contest, with all the best badges to go along with.
Smith is an offensive force down low and with a 95 driving layup and 97 driving dunk rating, can score at will in the paint. In real life, Smith was never a good three-point shooter, even though he was insistent on taking them. 2K must have forgotten that however as Smith owns an 84 three-point rating with the best outside scoring badges.
Unfortunately, this is the highest-rated JC card in the game, although his individual ratings seem to be high for just a 92 overall card. This Collins can really stretch the floor with an 87 three-point rating, but also features a 97 standing dunk rating and a 97 driving dunk rating. His biggest downfall is his perimeter defense, but his interior defense is passable, so as long as he avoids switches, he should be fine covering other bigs.
