NBA 2K21 - Every Team Ranked From Worst To Best
23. Utah Jazz - 74
NBA 2K20 rating - 78
Undoubtedly the biggest change thus far on this list is with regards to Utah Jazz. In NBA 2K20, they were the third highest ranked in terms of their overall rating, and have now dropped over 20 places.
Just what happened to the team?
Well, for starters, the loss of star players such as Al Jefferson and Gordon Hayward knocked them down a notch or two, and although 2017 rookie sensation Donovan Mitchell became a star player for the Jazz, they simply weren't up to par with what their opposition was capable of.
Once the games returned from their suspension, the Utah squad did terrible in the seeding games, losing in the opening round to the Denver Nuggets. It's worth noting, though, that Donovan Mitchell has agreed to a new five year deal that will keep him with the Jazz for the foreseeable future, which came as a result of him scoring 57 points in one game, the third highest in terms of playoff points earned in a single game.
Safe to say he's already made for a worthwhile acquisition to the team, and could be what the Utah Jazz need in order to boost their overall rating come NBA 2K22.
