NBA 2K20 MyLeague: Which Teams Can you Rebuild and Become a Hero?
Although fans agree that 2K has not made a huge change to the MyLeague mode, this year's NBA 2K20 MyLeague is still the second most popular mode. Rebuilding the team in MyLeague is why I average over 200 hours per 2K game. It feels great to find a way to fix a bad team. Also, it's interesting how long you can keep a great team like the Lakers. So which teams in the NBA 2k20 MyLeague can you rebuild and become a hero?
Atlanta Hawks
• Cap Space: $5,331,409
• Notable Players: Trae Young (85 OVR), John Collins (84 OVR), De’Andre Hunter (77 OVR) and, Kevin Huerter (76 OVR)
• Expiring Contracts: Chandler Parsons, Alex Len, Evan Turner, Allen Crabbe, Damian Jones and, Vince Carter
The Hawks have seen a drastic change in recent years.
A few years ago, Atlanta was competing with Lebron and the Cavs as the best team in the East.
Now, the city of Atlanta finally has a team they can get behind, which is led by former College sensation Trae Young who made a late push in last season's Rookie of the Year race. His ability to take over games with his unlimited range and his floor generalship are all things Atlanta should be excited about.
John Collins the power forward out of Wake Forest has also been a surprise to many NBA fans, the athletic freak of nature forward can explode out of the pick and roll at any moment and is surely one to look out for.
Besides the obvious two players, the Hawks also have lockdown shooters in Kevin Huerter and this year's number four overall pick in the NBA Draft; De'Andre Hunter. The latter was one of the most well know and respectable players at the college level and will look to add to this young roster.
NBA 2K20, quite happily and unlike most other good young teams like the Nuggets or Kings, models that core getting consistently better, to the point where the Hawks manage to slip into the playoffs five times in my sims.
Verdict: Fine in and of themselves, but this team … team should probably not be treated in the same category as the Pacers and the Heat. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like Atlanta is probably another year away from sniffing the playoffs.
New Orleans Pelicans
• Cap Space: $-8,501,046
• Notable Players: Jrue Holiday (86 OVR), Zion Williamson (81 OVR), Brandon Ingram (80 OVR) and, Lonzo Ball (79 OVR)
• Expiring Contracts: Derrick Favors, J.J. Reddick, E'Twaun Moore, Brandon Ingram, Jahlil Okafor and, Frank Jackson
Many teams in the NBA blew up their rosters, but none did quite so spectacularly as the Pelicans, who:
1) Won the NBA draft lottery and picked sure thing, Zion Williamson.
2) Traded Anthony Davis for three potentially good young Lakers.
3) Signed free agent vets who should be fantastic fits like Redick and Favors.
Unable to really capitalize throughout the years with Davis, New Orleans Pelicans traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers in return for the majority of their young core which features the likes of Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, and Josh Hart. All have shown flashes of brilliance throughout their short NBA careers thus far, but all have had some unfortunate luck with injuries as well.
Along with this young Lakers core now on the roster, they also lucked into the number one overall picked and landed perhaps the best generational talent we have seen since LeBron James. His name is Zion Williamson, the freak of nature player from Duke will look to dominate this upcoming NBA season and expectations are sky high not only for him but this bright Pelicans roster.
On paper, the Pelicans should be a ton of fun, and if things click, a dark horse Western playoff team. 2K generally models this, with this team making the playoffs 3-of-20 times.
Verdict: A tiny bit overrated. The Pelicans probably should be in the mix for the playoffs, and probably should make them a few times. None of their seasons are outright bad in the sim, which seems like a reasonable real-world possibility with so many changes and unproven players in key roles.
Sacramento Kings
• Cap Space: $-4,886,911
• Notable Players: De'Aaron Fox (86 OVR), Buddy Hield (84 OVR), Marvin Bagley III (83 OVR) and, Harrison Barnes (79 OVR)
• Expiring Contracts: Bogdan Bogdanovic, Buddy Hield and, Harry Giles
After over a decade of disaster, last year's young Kings played fast, fun, effective basketball, winning a ton of fans and finishing ninth in the West. Normally, player development and building on relative success, you'd pick a team like that to make the playoffs this year. But things were very much not normal this offseason, with almost every other pretty good team in the West getting better, leaving Sacramento in a position where it's difficult to see them even competing for a playoff spot.
But they hit the jackpot as of late, drafting both Kentucky point guard De'Aaron Fox and Duke big man Marvin Bagley III they pair have become dominant for the Kings in recent years.
Fox is seen as one of the most dynamic point guards in the league, he is also one of the fastest players in the league with a 96-speed rating. Barley missing out on the playoffs this past season, the Kings will look to rebound this upcoming season and with the young core, they possess having another year to develop, this may be the year.
NBA 2K20 agrees with that, with the Kings never making the playoffs, and only really competing for a spot about a fourth of the time.
Verdict: Underrated. Yeah, it's tough to see the Kings making the playoffs, but it's not impossible — even if 2K simmed seasons say it is.
In addition to MyLeague, the NBA 2k20 MyTEAM mode is also very popular. Of course, if you store a lot of NBA 2k20 mt, the game experience will be better. To buy them, click here.
