10:53 AMAfter dropping the NBA LIVE 19 player ratings for the top five point guards earlier in the week, EA Sports has released the top ratings for the rest of the positions. We’ll start with the top five shooting guards.

SHOOTING GUARDS

  1. James Harden (94 OVR)
  2. Klay Thompson (91 OVR) 🤔
  3. DeMar DeRozan (90 OVR)
  4. Jimmy Butler (90 OVR)
  5. Victor Oladipo (89 OVR)
SMALL FORWARDS
No surprise here that LeBron James is still king of the top five small forwards and the highest-rated player in the game. But is Kevin Durant really that far away after winning two Finals MVPs against James?
  1. LeBron James (97 OVR) 👑
  2. Kevin Durant (95)
  3. Kawhi Leonard (92 OVR)
  4. Paul George (90 OVR)
  5. Gordon Hayward (85 OVR)
POWER FORWARDS
Next up we have the top five power forwards, and it’s no surprise that Giannis “Greek Freak” Antetokounmpo is the highest-rated at his position. But he also has the same rating as DeMar DeRozan! Hmmmmmmm.
  1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (90 OVR)
  2. Draymond Green (88 OVR)
  3. LaMarcus Aldridge (87 OVR)
  4. Kevin Love (87 OVR)
  5. Kristaps Porzingis (86 OVR)

CENTERS

Since Joel Embiid is the cover athlete on the game, I expected him to get a nice seat among the top five centers. But I don’t know about him being ranked two slots above DeMarcus Cousins, even if you include the injury. 🤷🏿‍♂️

  1. Anthony Davis (94 OVR)
  2. Joel Embiid (92 OVR)
  3. Karl-Anthony Towns (91 OVR)
  4. DeMarcus Cousins (90 OVR)
  5. Rudy Gobert (89 OVR)
