The NBA 2K24 team are revealing player ratings as we approach closer to the game's release. Recently they just announced the top players in the game, but have since shared more player overalls. This time they released the rating for Cleveland Cavaliers' Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell. He enters NBA 2K24 with a 92 overall rating.

Mitchell is coming off another spectacular season, his first with the Cavaliers. He recorded a career high (and franchise high) 71 points against the Chicago Bulls back in January. He scored the most points in a single NBA game since Kobe Bryant's memorable 81-point domination in 2006.

Mitchell has not yet responded, but his fans were certainly vocal on social media.

Fans React To Donovan Mitchell's 92 NBA 2K Rating

Mitchell is without a doubt one of the best players in the league, deserving of at least a 92 rating. However, some fans did not take the reveal all that well. In fact, many couldn't help but mention Phoenix Suns' SG Devin Booker getting a higher rating than Mitchell.

To Booker's defense, his Suns team was the only squad to beat the Denver Nuggets more than once in the NBA playoffs. We're not sure if Mitchell's Cavaliers would've been able to do the same. And while Booker didn't receive an All-Star game honor in 2023, he still represents a potentially bright future in Phoenix.

But that didn't stop fans from continuing the debate.

Some even had to mention Jimmy Butler and Victor Wembanyama receiving such high ratings, while Mitchell received a rather “pedestrian” one considering his 2022-2023 performance.

Many came to Mitchell's support, pointing out some of the milestones he accomplished in his first year with a new team.

Lastly, some fans seem more concerned with the player's likeness and image, which doesn't capture Mitchell's muscular tone.

Mitchell is more likely concerned with helping his team win a championship and secure a highly-lucrative, long-term deal with any competitive team. An NBA 2K rating likely doesn't mean much to him, if he even plays the game at all. But for every professional athlete that doesn't mind, there are thousands of fans who will wage internet wars over numbers.

We'll see if Mitchell's performance in 2023 merits a raise in his rating. The Cavaliers look to go past the First Round in the playoffs this year, with hopes of maybe bringing a trophy back to Cleveland.
