Meanwhile, although there were positive trends in player rankings, the current roster also brought points down for some players. The most significant point drops were for Tim Duncan, who fell for 2 points (now 83), and Marc Gasol, now 82. Other players who were given a negative point in their stats included C.J. McCollum, Rudy Gay, And Andrew Wiggins.

As for fans who are continuously looking for "NBA 2K16" treats, a surprise might come out next month. According to The Bit Bag, the publisher is currently holding a "#DubTheVote" event in social media, and one of the rewards might be a special locker code for the winner of the poll.
