After a sensational 2022-23 season, LeBron James is the undisputed top small forward in NBA 2K24 at 96 OVR. James helped carry the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals and his 28.9 points per game would have ranked in the top ten of the league had he played enough games to qualify.
Jayson Tatum and Jimmy Butler, the latter of whom helped carry the Heat to the NBA Finals last season, round out the top three.
Kawhi Leonard is at #4 at 94 OVR, and then there’s a big drop-off. Among the other names listed in the top ten include Zach Lavine, Lauri Markkanen, Brandon Ingram, Khris Middleton, Scottie Barnes, and Kyle Kuzma.
We should note that Michael Porter Jr. did tie Barnes and Kuzma, at 83 OVR.
