NBA 2K18: 10 Players Who Should Get A Stat Boost
1. James Harden - Houston Rockets
James Harden's 90 rating in NBA 2K17 was certainly not one to be sniffed at. However, it's clear from the 2016/17 season that an improved number is greatly needed come the newest instalment of the game.
As the focal point of Houston's dynamic offence, the shooting guard played immaculately for much of the season - raining in points, dishing assists, and generally pushing his already-lofty reputation to new levels. The fact that many favoured Harden to Westbrook - a player who averaged a triple-double over the course of the year - for their personal MVP speaks volumes.
