1. The Golden State Warriors

This is a no brainer. Four of the Warriors’ starting five have 2K ratings of 90 or higher.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant are portably the three best shooters in the NBA, and they are on the same team! Regardless of how you feel about the Warriors or Durant’s decision to join them, you have to at least be slightly excited to play as this team in 2k.

Everyone on this roster shoots threes at an efficient rate, so pick the Warriors and just shoot from anywhere. Sure, Curry has great handles, and you could run the offense through him, penetrating to set up open shooters. But why bother?

These are the best contested long ball shooters in the league. I’d make one, maybe two passes at most before taking the first three when one of your wings gets a decent look. You’ll probably make around 41.66 percent of those (the average three-point percentage of Durant, Curry and Thompson), and win most games you play.

So, there you have it. The top 10 teams I’m most excited to play with in NBA 2K17. Let me know in the comments section if there’s a team you are especially excited about playing with that I left of the list. I look forward to seeing you all on the 2K servers.
