Jameer Nelson

Latest 2K Rating: 71

2K17 Prediction: 69

At the age of 34, and coming off of an injury plagued year that limited Jameer Nelson to just 39 games, a dip in Nelson’s overall rating is to be expected. The Nuggets now have a gluttony of guards thanks to the draft, so Jameer may see his playing time reduced this upcoming season, even if fully healthy. Nelson went to the NBA Finals with the Orlando Magic in 2009 and his experience and leadership is invaluable in helping the younger members of the Nuggets develop. Unfortunately, 2K ratings don’t take that into consideration when deliberating overall rankings, hence the slight drop off for Jameer.
