On July 27th, according to Blazers media outlet Blazers Lead, the 2K26 ratings for the team's core lineup have been released, with Lillard at 91 ranking first on the team, and Henderson at 70 ranking 11th.
The specific ratings are as follows: Lillard 91, Avdija 86, Holiday 85, Sharpe 82, Kamara 82, RoCo 81, Henderson 80, Klienden 80, Grant 79, Thybulle 75, and Henderson 70. Judging by these ratings, the depth of the Trail Blazers' roster looks quite solid.
Previously, a video showed Henderson's reaction upon learning his 2K rating. At that moment, 2K director Ronnie asked Henderson to guess his 2K rating, to which Henderson replied with three numbers: “70? 74? 73?” Ronnie handed the envelope to Henderson for him to reveal it himself.
When Henderson opened the envelope and saw the rating was 70, he said, “That’s about right.” Ronnie then asked, “What do you think it will be by the end of the season?” Henderson joked, “As long as it doesn’t drop, I’m good!” Everyone laughed heartily.
In fact, during the post-draft interview, a reporter asked Henderson, “I know you really enjoy playing 2K, as a rookie in your first year, what do you think your rating will be?”
Henderson laughed and said, “Good question, hahaha. If I say too high or too low, it won’t be great, maybe 70?” It seems Henderson had a pretty accurate prediction of his rating.
Jokic's initial 2K rating in his rookie season was only 68, but his subsequent performance allowed him to rise significantly. Wishing young Henderson the best in establishing himself in the NBA and having a continually improving career.
