PHOENIX – The ratings for the new NBA 2k27 have been dropping, and Devin Booker has earned a top 20 spot in the newest video game, solidifying that the respect surrounding Booker is still there.
Devin Booker’s rating in NBA 2k27:
The Phoenix Suns star checks in at No. 19 overall in NBA 2K27, earning a 91 rating and placing himself firmly inside the game’s top 20 players. Even more eye-catching: Booker’s rating matches those of the three Sixers stars, Joel Embiid, Jalen Brown, and LeBron James. That detail makes Booker’s placement particularly notable. NBA 2K ratings have become part of the league’s culture, serving as a yearly snapshot of how players are viewed entering a new season. Players notice them, fans debate them, and social media turns individual rating points into arguments almost immediately.

For Booker, a 91 rating represents something bigger than a number in a video game. The 29-year-old guard remains one of the league’s premier scoring threats and continues to occupy the spotlight as the face of Phoenix basketball. While the Suns’ roster and direction can change around him, Booker’s presence at the top of the ratings reinforces the idea that Phoenix still has a player capable of being the centerpiece of its long-term plans.

There is also a psychological component. Being rated alongside a future Hall of Famer such as LeBron James signals that Booker’s reputation has not slipped despite the constant pressure surrounding the Suns.
For Phoenix fans, that matters. The question entering each season is no longer whether Booker belongs among the league’s best. NBA 2K27 has answered that question with a 91 rating. For Booker and the Suns, being a top-20 player is no longer the destination; it is the expectation.
